The Blogger Genius Podcast

I have my friend and social media strategist, Neal Schaffer, on the show for his third appearance to talk about how social media is shifting right before our eyes. Neal and I both started seeing things change this summer, with the explosion of not only TikTok, but also BeReal. TikTok is 100% entertainment and has nothing to do with our friends or our social graph. BeReal is all about our friends. These are the most exciting new platforms right now. The question is... Can Instagram and Snapchat catch up? We talk about how we are craving real connections in the world, and how we're seeing thing shift toward more authenticity. What social media trends are you noticing? I'd love to know so please email me. Get On a Call With Me to Talk About Your Digital Product Future I want to give you an update on MiloTreeCart. This is the payment tool, David, my husband and I have launched to help you, creators and bloggers, sell digital products like memberships, workshops, eBooks, courses, you name it directly to your audiences. As you know, I've been getting on lots of calls with people who have audiences. If this is you, and you are not selling directly to them, I can help you turn on a whole new income stream. For example, I was working with a crafter last week, she has about 20,000 TikTok followers, she decided to do a one hour Zoom workshop set up her sales page in MiloTreeCart went out, sold it and boom made over $750. Now she can take that recording and resell it over and over as a mini course. If this sounds like something you'd like to do, and you have an audience, set up a call with me go to milotree.com/meet.

Want to know how a paid workshop helps you grow your true fans? Today, I've got Carrie Forrest from the blog, Clean Eating Kitchen, on the show to share her story. Carrie has grown a very successful food blog, but over the last few years, she felt like something was missing in her business, interacting directly with her audience. By creating paid workshops, she's been able to show up live with her community, and build real relationships. The reason why you want to grow your true fans is because these are the people in your community who will buy all your offers, give you guidance, and help you plot the direction of your business. As someone in the wellness space, Carrie also found this connection incredibly satisfying. She's been able to be of service to her community and better understand what her audience wants from her, as she moves her business forward. The relationships she's been able to cultivate by hosting paid workshops, has made her fall in love of her blog even more! I think you'll be inspired by her story.
