If you're a blogger watching your ad revenue plummet after Google updates and AI disruptions, you're not alone. Traffic losses of 50-70% have become the new normal, leaving thousands of creators wondering if their years of hard work were for nothing.

In my newest video, I shared the incredible story of Melanie, a registered dietitian and low-carb food blogger who transformed her dying blog into a thriving digital product business. In just 90 days, she went from $700/month in ad revenue to $6,500/month. Ten months later, she's now making $12,500/month—nearly three times her pre-crash income.

The best part? She used the same expertise, the same email list, and the same audience she already had. She just changed her business model.

In this post, I'll walk you through Melanie's exact week-by-week strategy so you can replicate her success, even if your traffic has tanked and your ad revenue has disappeared.
