If you’re still relying on Google traffic and ad revenue to grow your blog, here’s the hard truth: that era is over. In this episode of The Blogger Genius Podcast, I sat down with Katie Trant of Foodie Brand Lab to talk about the seismic shift happening in online business. AI is changing how people search, generic content is flooding the internet, and Google algorithm updates are gutting traffic overnight. So what is working now? Katie and I break it down: it’s time to stop chasing SEO and start building a memorable brand that people search for by name. Show Notes: MiloTree FREEBIE: Write Your Ebook in Under 2 Hours FREEBIE: Create a Lead Magnet in 10 Minutes Join The Blogger Genius Newsletter Become a Blogger Genius Facebook Group Foodie Brand Lab Use code PODCAST to save $50 on Katie’s course Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: YouTube iTunes Spotify Why SEO-Only Blogging No Longer Works Let’s face it—depending on SEO traffic and ads was once a goldmine. Bloggers who mastered keyword research could build passive income machines. But now? With Google’s updates and AI tools like ChatGPT answering simple questions instantly, those days are behind us. Katie shared how even her most high-performing posts like “how to cook dried chickpeas” are losing relevance—not because they’re bad, but because users now ask AI instead of clicking through to a blog. What’s the solution? You Are the Unique Ingredient The only thing that can’t be copied by AI is you. Whether you’re sharing chocolate chip cookie recipes or parenting tips, your voice, values, personality, and brand are what make you stand out. Katie puts it perfectly: “The only truly unique thing about your recipe is you.” That means showing up as a real person—on video, in your writing, and across your digital products. And yes, that means being relatable and even a little imperfect. 👉 Want to turn your personality into profit? Start by offering a freebie that reflects your brand’s values. With MiloTree’s Free Plan, you can set up an AI-generated opt-in page, deliver your freebie automatically, and grow your list—all for free. How to Build a Brand That Grows Your Business Think of a brand not just as your logo or colors—but as a living ecosystem. Your brand is the answer to the question: “Why you?” Katie recommends building your brand around a problem you solve. For example: Healthy food bloggers might solve: “What meals are best for gut health?” Parenting bloggers might solve: “How do I entertain my kids with purpose?” Pet bloggers might solve: “What does my dog really need to thrive?” Every blog post, video, product, or freebie you create should solve that core problem in a consistent, recognizable way. Why Being Personal Matters (But Oversharing Doesn’t) There’s a fine line between being personal and being personable. You don’t have to share your entire life story—but giving your audience a glimpse into who you are builds trust. Not everyone will “get” your vibe—and that’s the point. Your goal is to attract the right audience, not everyone. Katie gave this tip: If you’re unsure whether to share something, ask yourself: Does it build trust or authority? Does it add value? Does it align with my brand? If yes—share it. If not—skip it. Monetize by Solving Real Problems The best brands don't just blog. They sell. And here’s the secret: the stronger your brand, the easier it is to sell your digital products—because your audience already trusts you. All in one place. No tech skills required. Take Action: Build Your Brand and Start Making Money The internet is flooded with generic content. The only way to stand out and build a sustainable business is by being unmistakably you. Here’s how to get started: ✅ Identify the big problem you solve ✅ Offer a freebie around it using MiloTree ✅ Start showing up as yourself—in your content, your videos, and your offers ✅ Create digital products that reflect your brand ✅ Keep it simple, human, and helpful 🚀 Want help?

Ask yourself: What’s something you’ve figured out that others still struggle with? 🎁 Grab my free AI Ebook Prompt Generator to help you brainstorm and outline your idea in under 3 hours. Step 2: Validate Before You Write Before you type a single word, make sure people will pay for your idea. ✅ Search your topic on Amazon or Etsy ✅ Look for bestsellers and products with strong reviews ✅ If others are selling similar ebooks—you’re on the right track Remember, people pay for results. So focus on solving one problem fast. Step 3: Write a Short, Powerful eBook (10–30 Pages) Your ebook doesn’t need to be long. In fact, shorter is better if it delivers transformation. Structure it like this: Start with the problem your reader is facing End with the result they want Break it down into 5–7 actionable steps Use tools like ChatGPT and my AI prompts to expand your ideas and write quickly—while keeping your voice and personality intact. Remember: people buy you, not just your content. Step 4: Design It Fast (Even If You’re Not a Designer) Designing your ebook should take minutes, not days. 🎨 Use our free Canva ebook template or search Canva for “ebook templates.” ✔ Add your content, swap fonts and colors ✔ Use stock photos if needed ✔ Include a final page with a strong call-to-action Pro tip: Don’t over-design. Clarity sells better than fluff. Step 5: Set Up Your Sales Page and Start Selling (for Free) Here’s where most people get stuck: tech. Payment processors, sales pages, delivery… It’s a lot.

In my latest Blogger Genius Podcast episode, I spoke with sales and business coach Tracy Beavers, who shared how to authentically grow your audience and income by focusing on human connection and smart Facebook strategies. Best part? These are zero-cost, organic growth tactics that anyone can implement today. Show Notes: MiloTree Tracy Beavers Join Tracy’s Facebook Group 3 AI Prompts You Need to Create a Freebie Cheatsheet 13 AI Prompts to Write an Ebook in Under 3 Hours Join The Blogger Genius Newsletter Become a Blogger Genius Facebook Group Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: YouTube iTunes Spotify The Problem: You’re Invisible Online Maybe you’re creating great content and have a killer freebie, but crickets. You’re not getting noticed, your email list isn’t growing, and you’re wondering if you need to dump money into Facebook ads or start dancing on Reels. The truth is: you don’t have to do any of that. Instead, what you need is to turn your existing Facebook presence into a high-converting list-building machine—without being salesy or spammy. The Solution: Be Human, Get Visible, Grow Your List According to Tracy, the secret to sales isn’t slick pitches or aggressive tactics—it’s being “a warm, kind human who connects with another human.” Here’s how she helps her clients grow their lists and businesses using Facebook (for free!): 1. Turn Your Facebook Profile into a Funnel Your Facebook personal profile is a massively underused tool. Tracy recommends treating your Facebook cover photo like a billboard. Highlight your freebie or Facebook group and add a strong call-to-action like “Click here to join.” When people click the photo, the description should include a compelling reason to join and a clickable link. 💡 Pro tip: Use your Facebook personal profile to drive people into a free Facebook group that collects email addresses upon entry. 2. Leverage Other People’s Facebook Groups (Even if Promotions Aren’t Allowed) Worried you can't promote yourself in other people’s groups? You don’t have to. Here’s Tracy’s secret: Be visible and be helpful. Show up consistently. Leave thoughtful, kind comments. Share your expertise without links. Ask great questions or share tips (with no strings attached). People will get curious and click on your profile—which, if optimized, will lead them to your freebie, group, or digital product. 3. Build Community Through a Free Facebook Group You don’t have to be everywhere. Tracy built her business primarily on Facebook—not Instagram, not TikTok, not YouTube. And it works. Choose one platform where your audience hangs out and go deep. If you’re running a Facebook group and it feels “dead,” Tracy says the problem isn’t Facebook—it’s the lack of intention behind your group. Treat your group like a party: Welcome every new member with a personal DM. Post engaging content 4–5 times a week (it doesn’t have to be daily). Allow members to share, network, and connect. Create real community by being present. 💥 Our Facebook group is called: Become a Blogger Genius —please join me over there! 4. Offer Multiple Freebies (And Rotate Them) Tracy rotates multiple lead magnets to grow her list. Her most popular ones? ✅ “Social Media Content Made Easy” – A video + PDF showing how to generate 90 days of content ideas in just 30 minutes. ✅ “Grow Your Email List in Other People’s Facebook Groups” – Even if promotions aren’t allowed. If you’re wondering where to store and deliver your freebies, this is where MiloTree comes in. How to Offer Freebies and Sell Products with MiloTree (For Free!)

See how easy it is! ➡️ https://milotree.com/join/free  Blogger, tired of spending endless hours creating digital products only to see disappointing sales? Do you want reliable, sustainable income from your blog without complicated tech or hefty investments? In my recent episode of The Blogger Genius Podcast, I shared five powerful yet overlooked strategies successful bloggers are using right now to generate tens of thousands of dollars from their digital products. And the best part? You can implement these strategies easily, starting today, using MiloTree—for free! Strategy #1: Offer Instant Micro Wins Your readers don't always want complex resources—they crave quick, actionable solutions. By offering an immediate micro win through a simple checklist, template, or cheat sheet, you build trust quickly and encourage future sales. Early on, I created a detailed SEO ebook, expecting huge results. But when I launched, it barely made $100. After pivoting to a one-page blog post checklist promising instant SEO improvements in 15 minutes, my email list surged to 3,000 subscribers, dramatically boosting sales. Action Step: Create an actionable micro win freebie and link it directly to your premium product. Easily set this up in MiloTree at no cost. 👉 Grab My Free AI Prompts to Create Your Freebie Strategy #2: Create Real Urgency Ambiguity doesn't sell; clarity and urgency do. When I launched my first coaching offer, vague messaging resulted in only $497 in sales over two weeks. Relaunching with a firm, 48-hour Black Friday deadline quadrupled my revenue to $2,000. Action Step: Always give your offers clear, authentic deadlines to drive immediate action. Strategy #3: Streamline Your Sales Process Every extra click or confusing step in your checkout process risks losing potential buyers. Simplifying this process can instantly boost your conversions. MiloTree provides intuitive, AI-generated optimized sales and checkout pages designed specifically for bloggers, boosting conversions by 20-30%. Action Step: Use MiloTree’s free, user-friendly checkout pages to streamline your customer's journey. Strategy #4: Strategically Use Testimonials Your potential customers have hesitations. Testimonials that directly address these fears significantly increase confidence and sales. One blogging student waited weeks to buy my course due to overwhelm fears. After completing the course quickly, her positive testimonial featured prominently increased sales by over 25%. Action Step: Highlight targeted testimonials addressing specific customer concerns on your MiloTree sales pages. Strategy #5: Sell Through Compelling Stories Authentic, relatable stories vividly illustrate transformation and inspire readers to purchase. Sharing stories about real customer successes—like a membership participant paying off debt—creates powerful emotional connections. Action Step: Regularly share short, impactful stories in your emails and social media to highlight tangible results from your digital products. Ready to Skyrocket Your Digital Product Sales?

No tech headaches. No upfront cost. Step 1: Create a Freebie That Your Audience Wants Right Now A great freebie is something quick, easy to consume, and solves a small but real problem your audience has. Think of it as a Hershey’s Kiss—something people consume immediately, not a 50-page ebook that collects digital dust in their downloads folder. Examples of High-Converting Freebies: ✅ 5 Instagram Caption Templates for entrepreneurs ✅ 10 Quick & Easy Meal Prep Hacks for busy moms ✅ How to Start a Blog in 3 Simple Steps for beginning bloggers Need help coming up with your freebie? I’ve got you covered!

Step 2: Add a Tripwire Product to Start Making Money Instantly Once people grab your freebie, this is the perfect time to offer them a low-cost product that helps them take the next step. This is called a tripwire—a small digital product priced between $7-$27 that immediately provides value. Examples of Tripwire Products: 🔥 If your freebie is 5 Instagram Caption Templates, your tripwire could be a 100-template pack for $19. 🔥 If your freebie is 10 Meal Prep Hacks, your tripwire could be a 4-Week Meal Plan for $17. 🔥 If your freebie is How to Start a Blog in 3 Steps, your tripwire could be a Beginner Blogger Course for $27. This works because your new subscriber just showed interest in this topic, making them much more likely to buy. 💡 Pro Tip: With MiloTree, setting up a tripwire is one click—no coding, no complex funnels. And you can do this for free too! Just upload your product, set a price, and you’re done! Step 3: Use Tripwire Sales to Fund Your Email List Growth One of the biggest reasons entrepreneurs struggle to grow their email list is the cost of ads. But what if you could use the money from your tripwire sales to fund your growth? Here’s how: ✔️ Offer a freebie to attract subscribers. ✔️ Sell a tripwire product immediately after signup. ✔️ Use the tripwire profits to run more ads to your freebie. ✔️ Repeat the process—your business funds itself! This is how smart entrepreneurs scale their businesses for free while also making money. Step 4: Get Your First Freebie & Tripwire Live Today (for Free!) You don’t need a website.
