If you’re a blogger, coach, or creator, LinkedIn might seem like the last place you’d go to grow your business. Isn't it just for corporate jobs and stuffy networking? Not anymore. In my latest Blogger Genius Podcast episode, I interviewed LinkedIn expert Louise Brogan, and she opened my eyes: LinkedIn is a hidden goldmine for creators ready to stand out and sell. In this post, I’ll break down why LinkedIn is your next big opportunity, how to get started the right way, and how to use tools like MiloTree to build your audience effortlessly. Show Notes: MiloTree FREEBIE: AI Prompt for 10 Product Ideas in Uncertain Times FREEBIE: 3 AI Prompts You Need to Create a Freebie Cheatsheet FREEBIE: 13 AI Prompts to Write an Ebook in Under 3 Hours Join The Blogger Genius Newsletter Become a Blogger Genius Facebook Group Louise Brogan Raise Your Visibility on LinkedIn Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: YouTube iTunes Spotify Why LinkedIn is the Hidden Opportunity You Can’t Ignore Most bloggers and small business owners think LinkedIn is only for suits and corporate ladder climbers. But Louise shared a surprising truth: ✅ People on LinkedIn have money to spend — and they’re looking for new hobbies, services, and products. ✅ Less competition — Only 2% of LinkedIn users post content! ✅ Engaged audiences — These aren’t passive scrollers. LinkedIn users are more likely to buy, connect, and hire. If you’ve been hit hard by Google updates or you’re frustrated with Instagram’s algorithm, LinkedIn offers a fresh place to be seen and heard — especially if you’re creative, independent, or selling digital products. How to Start Growing Your Business on LinkedIn You don’t need to reinvent the wheel to succeed on LinkedIn. Here’s Louise’s simple, powerful strategy: 1. Optimize Your Profile Think of your LinkedIn profile as your storefront. Louise recommends making it immediately clear: Who you help How you help them What action you want them to take next (hint: link to your freebie, blog, or store) Pro Tip: Your profile should focus more on your audience’s needs than your own resume. 2. Post Just Twice a Week Unlike Instagram or TikTok where you need to post daily, LinkedIn works best with just 1–2 posts a week. Some ideas: Share quick tips or advice related to your niche. Ask engaging questions that invite comments. Tell short stories that connect to your brand. 👉 Important: Don’t spam with links! Instead, draw people to click through to your profile, where they’ll find all your goodies. 3. Use LinkedIn Newsletters Louise dropped a golden tip: Create a LinkedIn Newsletter. Every new connection is invited to subscribe. You can include links to your blog, freebies, and products inside the newsletter. Best of all, newsletters get sent to subscribers’ email inboxes — not just buried in LinkedIn feeds. Imagine growing a second email list on autopilot! Why LinkedIn Is Perfect for Selling Digital Products and Growing Your Email List At MiloTree, we’re all about making business simple. That’s why this strategy pairs perfectly with MiloTree’s free tools. With MiloTree’s Free Plan, you can: Create an AI-generated opt-in page in under 5 minutes.

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!) At MiloTree, we’ve created the easiest all-in-one solution to grow your email list and sell digital products—with no tech headaches. With the MiloTree Free Plan, you can: ✅ Create AI-generated opt-in landing pages in minutes ✅ Upload and deliver unlimited freebies ✅ Grow your email list on autopilot ✅ Sell digital products without complicated software 💡 Whether you’re sharing a content cheat sheet, recipe ebook, or mini course—MiloTree makes it simple. 👉 Sign up for the MiloTree Free Plan now and start growing your list and income—without spending a dime. Final Takeaway: Human Connection Wins in 2025 In a world flooded with AI content, human connection is your superpower. Tracy said it best: “It’s not about the sale. It’s about the connection.” So show up. Be kind. Be consistent. Offer value. And make it easy for people to find your freebie and join your list. Let tools like MiloTree handle the tech so you can focus on what matters most—serving people and growing your business.

🎙 Calling all content creators! Grow your audience and start earning with a freebie + tripwire—completely free, forever. No credit card required. 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?

🎙 Calling all content creators! Grow your audience and start earning with a freebie + tripwire—completely free, forever. No credit card required. See how easy it is! ➡️ https://milotree.com/join/free  If you’ve been struggling to grow your email list and start making money online, you’re not alone. Many online entrepreneurs feel stuck—unsure how to build their audience without breaking the bank. But what if I told you there’s a way to do both for free? In my latest Blogger Genius Podcast episode, I break down a simple strategy using MiloTree that lets you grow your email list while making money on autopilot. No complicated funnels. 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! Grab my 3 AI prompts to generate a lead magnet in minutes: ➡️ milotree.com/freebieprompts 💡 Pro Tip: With MiloTree, you can set up your freebie for free, and we’ll handle delivery for you—no extra steps, no tech headaches. 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. You don’t need to be tech-savvy. You just need MiloTree.

If you're a blogger, content creator, or entrepreneur, you've likely heard the term "influencer." But for many creators, stepping into that role can feel uncomfortable. You’re not just posting beautiful photos or writing helpful blog posts—you’re stepping forward as a recognizable brand with a human face. In my latest Blogger Genius Podcast episode, I sat down with Gordon Glenister, an expert in influencer marketing and host of the Grow Your Influence Online podcast, to break down what it takes to make this shift without feeling inauthentic. Show Notes: MiloTree Gordon Glenister 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: iTunes YouTube Spotify Why Your Influence is More Valuable Than Your Content With the rise of AI-generated content, Gordon and I discussed how pure content creation is becoming commoditized. What remains valuable? You—the creator behind the content. Your unique personality, expertise, and personal brand are what make people engage and keep coming back. Many bloggers see Instagram influencers as self-promoters, but Gordon argues that successful influencers are problem solvers. If you help moms, food lovers, or DIY enthusiasts, you’re already building influence—you just need to recognize and harness it. How to Build Influence Without Selling Out A common fear is that stepping into the influencer role means selling out. However, Gordon explained that brands want to partner with authentic creators who care about their communities. The key is staying true to your audience and only partnering with brands or promoting products that align with your values. He pointed out that many creators have highly engaged communities but aren’t monetizing them simply because they don’t see their value. If you’ve built a following, even a small one, you already have influence—you just need to recognize and leverage it. Strategies to Step into the Influencer Role If calling yourself an influencer feels uncomfortable, here are some simple shifts you can make: 1. Become Memorable Gordon shared that successful influencers often have a signature style or catchphrase. This can be as simple as wearing distinctive glasses (like Gordon does) or always signing off your content in a consistent way. Think about what small, repeatable element could make you stand out. 2. Create a “Weekly Moment” One of Gordon’s biggest tips was to establish a regular posting rhythm. Whether it’s a weekly newsletter, a podcast episode, or an Instagram series, showing up consistently builds trust and anticipation. I’ve been experimenting with this myself, sharing my Build Your Digital Product Empire series on Instagram. Even though I don’t post it on a set day, I’ve noticed my engagement steadily increasing just from naming it as part of a series. 3. Make Your Audience Feel Seen People don’t just want to consume content—they want to feel acknowledged. By engaging with your audience’s comments, asking for their feedback, and even mentioning their insights in your content, you create a deeper connection. 4. Niche Down to Stand Out Rather than trying to be an expert in a broad category like “food blogging,” think about your niche. For example, instead of just being a dessert blogger, you could focus on gluten-free, five-ingredient desserts for busy moms. The narrower your niche, the more recognizable and sought-after you become. 5. Tell Your Audience What to Do Next One of the biggest mistakes content creators make is not giving clear calls to action. Gordon recommends always guiding your audience on what to do next—whether it’s saving a post, subscribing to a newsletter, or joining your membership. If you don’t spell it out, people won’t take action. The Role of AI and the Future of Influence We also discussed AI’s growing role in content creation. While AI can speed up your workflow, your human personality remains irreplaceable. Gordon emphasized that people buy from people. If you’re using AI, make sure it’s enhancing—not replacing—your unique voice and brand. Start Growing Your Influence Today Building influence doesn’t mean becoming a different person. It simply means amplifying what makes you unique and showing up consistently. If you’re already helping people through your content, you’re halfway there. So, what’s your signature element? Your “weekly moment”? Your niche? Start putting these strategies into practice today and watch your influence—and opportunities—grow. Want to turn your influence into income?

In this post, I’ll share five profitable digital products that are dominating the market right now—and how you can maximize your profits by repackaging and repurposing them. 1. Live Workshops (With a Twist) Why They Work: With AI-generated content everywhere, real human interaction is more valuable than ever. People crave live engagement, which is why paid live workshops are exploding in popularity. How to Sell and Repurpose: Host a 60-minute live Zoom workshop on a hot topic. Charge anywhere from $27 to $97 for access. Record the session and sell the replay as an evergreen digital product. Break the workshop into mini lessons and sell them as a bite-sized course. Offer a PDF transcript or workbook as an additional paid resource. Use short clips from your workshop on social media to promote future sales. 👉 Example: Host a "Pinterest Traffic Growth Workshop" for bloggers, then sell the replay, offer a mini-course with key takeaways, and package the workbook as a separate download. 📌 MiloTree makes it easy to set this up with AI-generated sales pages in seconds. 2. Email Challenges Why They Work: People love guided challenges that help them achieve quick wins. A 5- to 10-day email challenge is an easy way to build engagement and grow your email list. How to Sell and Repurpose: Create a free or paid challenge ($10-$27 entry fee). Deliver daily emails with tips, templates, or action steps. Turn the email content into an ebook and sell it. Repurpose the challenge into a self-paced mini-course. Offer a VIP version with bonus videos or live Q&As for an upsell. 👉 Example: A "7-Day Instagram Growth Challenge" with actionable strategies, later repackaged into a step-by-step ebook and a self-paced course. 📌 With MiloTree, you can automate this process and even sell a tripwire product on the thank-you page when someone signs up for your challenge! 3. Digital Templates & Toolkits Why They Work: People want done-for-you solutions. Digital templates save time and effort, making them super high-value and easy to sell. How to Sell and Repurpose: Offer plug-and-play Canva, Notion, Trello, or Google Sheets templates. Sell them as individual downloads or bundles for higher perceived value. Offer editable vs. non-editable versions at different price points. Repurpose them as bonuses for memberships, coaching programs, or online courses. 👉 Example: A "Social Media Content Calendar" available in multiple formats—Notion, Trello, Google Sheets—sold separately for $27 or included as a membership bonus. 📌 MiloTree allows you to quickly sell digital downloads and even offer them in different formats to different audiences. 4. Strategy Sessions & Coaching Calls Why They Work: Personalized one-on-one coaching is always in demand, but the real magic happens when you repurpose those sessions into passive income. How to Sell and Repurpose: Offer high-ticket coaching calls and record them. Create mini-courses or guides from the most common questions. Use client Q&As to generate blog content or eBooks. Package coaching insights into a step-by-step training program. 👉 Example: An "Instagram Strategy Session" where you walk a client through their content plan, later repurposed into a pre-recorded training or course. 📌 With MiloTree, you can sell coaching calls and automatically deliver recordings to clients. 5. Memberships & Private Communities Why They Work: Recurring revenue is the holy grail of online business. Once you build a membership, you get paid over and over again for content you create once. How to Sell and Repurpose: Offer exclusive content, coaching, or templates inside a private group. Charge a monthly or annual fee for access. Repurpose past content into standalone digital products. Offer different membership tiers for various price points. 👉 Example: A "Digital Product Creators Membership" that includes monthly workshops, templates, and AI tools, housed in a private Facebook group or Slack community. 📌 MiloTree makes setting up memberships simple, allowing you to start selling with no tech headaches.
