Turning Followers into Revenue with Ben Jabbawy from Grocers List

In this week’s episode, we’re continuing with our Grocers List mini-series with Ben Jabbawy, the founder of Grocers List! He’ll dive deep into how creators can truly leverage social media — not just for likes, but for real, tangible growth. The key is to shift your mindset from surface-level content to strategic storytelling that drives your business forward.

You’ll also hear about why email lists are a creator’s secret weapon. While algorithms change, your direct connection with your audience shouldn’t. Building a list gives you control over your communication and creates consistent revenue opportunities. Plus, he’ll unpack how to make your content work smarter by using automation, repurposing assets, and minimizing the busywork that slows creators down. You won’t want to miss this episode!

Three episode takeaways:

Social media can be used to build a business: The episode emphasized how important it is for creators to use social media platforms to capture real value and drive their entrepreneurial goals, not just for surface-level engagement.
Email lists are a creator’s best friend: You’ll hear about how crucial email lists are for maintaining a strong connection with your audience and building reliable revenue streams. It’s all about owning your audience and having direct communication, rather than relying solely on ever-changing social media algorithms.
Make your content work smarter, not harder. Creators, especially food creators, can benefit from tools and strategies that reduce friction in sharing content, automate workflows, and repurpose what they’ve already created. This frees up time and expands reach without sacrificing user experience — it’s a win-win situation!
