One of the most common questions I get is whether or not consistent blogging is worth it. And my answer is always a 100% YES! So many underestimate the power of blogging. But the truth is, it's the #1 way I boost my website's SEO.
This week, we discuss why blogging is so important as a business owner (especially for location-specific, service-based business owners), and I give you 5 easy blog posts to write this week. You have no excuse not to start now! ;)

Starting a Youtube channel last year was one of the BEST decisions I've made in my business and certainly the best decision recently for visibility! What was holding me back from creating a channel for so long was the fact that I didn't see myself as an influencer.
But what a lot of people don't know is that using Youtube for business is a super strategic move. The truth is, you don't have to share your entire life or vlog. Youtube is a great way to build credibility with your audience with free and valuable education. It's also a search engine, meaning it's an incredible way to reach so many new cold leads!
In this episode, I talk about who Youtube is ideal for, how and why to use it in business, and the simply steps to get started with equipment and software. The whole process is a lot easier than you might think!

I'm sharing how I made over $1k in passive income alone, working less than 12 hours over the course of 2.5 weeks! I think it's so important to share the small beginnings and the power of long-form content even with a small following. We always hear about the creators with 100k followers or 1 million subscribers. But I was able to achieve the same amount of money with 84 subscribers and less than 400 views on a single video that would have taken me getting 350-500k views with youtube adsense! And you can 100% do this in your business too.

Ready to start a podcast in 2024? I highly recommend it. Not only can your podcast bring in some passive income and reach new ideal clients for your business, but it can also be a great way to service your existing follower base with amazing free content. You might think it's a saturated market, but really most podcasts out there are abandoned. So, give it a shot, and let me know how it goes!! I'm here to cheer you on.

Whether it's vacation, the holidays, or an unexpected life event, building a business with freedom in mind is crucial. The true measure of success (I believe) is not measured in the dollar signs or the follower counts. But truly, success = freedom. Freedom of time being the most important! Today I'm sharing 5 tips and personal examples on how to feel more free in time away from your business this year.

It's incredible how these precious dogs forever change our hearts. 👼🏻 You'll forever be my #1, Oslo.

I keep a note on my phone with the title "Reminders ✨." And on there, I have a running list of words to live by. They are either something someone has told me that really stuck. A profound statement I heard on a podcast or show. Or something I've come to realize as a result of just living.
This week, I'm opening up that exact note on my phone and sharing those nuggets of wisdom with you. It's the best advice I've ever received. I hope you enjoy!
