  • Why LinkedIn Beats Instagram for Making Real Money 💰
    If you're a coach, content creator, service provider, or blogger and you're still betting on Instagram to grow your business, this episode of The Blogger Genius Podcast might just change your mind. My guest, Scott Aaron, a top LinkedIn expert and author of The LinkedIn Book for Sales and Marketing, shares why LinkedIn is where the real business-building magic happens—and how to tap into it even if you're not a "corporate type." 👇 PLUS: Grab my free AI prompt to generate 10 digital product ideas you can launch this week! milotree.com/thisweek Why Instagram Isn’t Enough Anymore Instagram may be where you're posting regularly, chasing likes, and hoping to go viral—but that doesn't necessarily translate into customers or sales. Here’s why Scott says LinkedIn is a smarter bet: ✅ Higher-Income Users The average Instagram user makes under $30,000 a year. On LinkedIn? Most users earn $75,000–$100,000+, meaning they have money to spend. ✅ Decision-Makers Are on LinkedIn 88% of users are in decision-making roles. These are people who can say YES to hiring you, buying from you, or partnering with you. ✅ Less Competition for Attention Only 1% of LinkedIn users post content weekly. That means your content has a much better chance of standing out and being seen. But I’m a Blogger… or a Dog Trainer… or a Food Creator. Is LinkedIn Still for Me? Yes! According to Scott, if your content is educational, informative, and solves problems—there’s a place for you on LinkedIn. ✅ Bloggers can offer tips or insights that appeal to professionals trying to manage work-life balance. ✅ Dog trainers? Professionals own dogs too. ✅ Food creators? Busy professionals need help with healthy, quick meals. The key is positioning yourself as an expert and sharing helpful content—not just “fun” or viral entertainment. How to Set Up Your LinkedIn to Convert Visitors Into Leads Scott recommends being intentional with every part of your LinkedIn presence: Avoid the “Resume Look.” Instead, treat your profile like a landing page.   Add Clickable Links. At the top of your profile and in the Featured section, link to your: Lead magnet or freebie Website Podcast Calendar link   Post with a Purpose. Never post just for vanity metrics. Each post should add value and end with a call-to-action, like: “What was your biggest takeaway?” “Comment ‘yes’ if this resonates.” 💡 Pro Tip: Don’t add external links in the body of your post—drop them in the first comment instead so LinkedIn doesn’t throttle your reach. The 3 Tools Scott Uses to Grow His List (and You Should Too) Clickable Links in Your Profile Drive people to sign up for a freebie, book a call, or check out your podcast. LinkedIn Newsletter When you publish your first newsletter, LinkedIn invites ALL your connections to subscribe—and will continue promoting it via email and notifications. (Scott’s open rate? 38–42%!) LinkedIn Live Scott turns each live into a podcast episode and repurposes it into 84 pieces of content. He adds a simple CTA in every live like, 👉 “Comment ‘workshop’ below, and I’ll send you the link.” …then personally sends the opt-in link to new subscribers. Repurpose Like a Pro: One Live = 84 Pieces of Content Scott’s streamlined content strategy: 💻 Pre-records LinkedIn Lives using StreamYard 🎙 Publishes them as podcast episodes 🎥 Uploads to YouTube ✂️ Uses Opus Pro to create short clips 📲 Shares clips as Reels, Shorts, and on LinkedIn Each piece drives people to the same opt-in, keeping his strategy simple and focused.

    🚀 [MAKE MONEY ONLINE] 🚀 Sell digital products, grow your list, and boost your social media with ease—start for FREE! ➡️ https://milotree.com/ ___________________________________________ Think you need a big following or fancy website to start making money online? Think again. If you’ve ever dreamed of selling digital products—like ebooks, printables, or even coaching—but have no audience, no blog, and maybe not even an idea yet, this post is for you. 🎧 In my latest episode of the Blogger Genius, I share the exact strategy I’ve seen creators use to make real money from scratch. No list, no followers, just a desire to help solve a painful problem. Show Notes: MiloTree AI Digital Product Generator Free Ebook Creation Prompts + Canva Template AI Freebie Prompt Generator Join The Blogger Genius Newsletter Become a Blogger Genius Facebook Group Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: YouTube iTunes Spotify Why You Don’t Need an Audience to Start Selling If your product solves a real, urgent pain point, people will pay for it. For example: A $5 printable grocery list = "Nice to have" A $97 coaching session to stop emotional eating = "Take my money!" Your job is to solve a problem—not build a perfect brand first. The Fastest Path to Your First Sale Here’s the truth: If you’ve ever helped a friend through a challenge, you can sell a digital product. And the easiest way to start is to offer 1:1 coaching. Here’s how: Use MiloTree’s free AI-generated sales pages to get your offer up in 5 minutes. Schedule your sessions with Calendly. Meet on Zoom. You’re in business. No tech headaches. No design needed. 🎁 Want help picking your offer? Grab my freebie: 10 Awesome Digital Product Ideas You Can Launch This Week Not into Coaching?

Promote Where People Are Searching, Not Scrolling Here’s where most creators go wrong: they rely on platforms like Instagram, which are great for engagement, but not for sales. If you want your product to get found, focus on search-based platforms like: Pinterest (great for evergreen traffic) YouTube (great for building authority and connection) 💡 Pro tip: Create pins or videos that highlight the painful problem your product solves. Use keywords. And remember—Pinterest content lives forever. The 4-Part Digital Product Game Plan Want a no-fluff roadmap? Brainstorm with ChatGPT Create with Canva Launch with MiloTree Promote on Pinterest & YouTube 🔁 Then rinse and repeat until something hits. You don’t win by being perfect—you win by testing.

  • Why Selling in Your First Email Isn’t Pushy—It’s Profitable (And What Most Creators Get Wrong)
        If you’ve been told never to sell in your welcome email, think again. In the latest episode of The Blogger Genius Podcast, I sat down with email marketing expert Kylie Kelly, who shares a powerful, unconventional strategy: selling in your very first email. And guess what? It works. If you’re trying to grow your email list, convert subscribers into customers, and make sales without waiting weeks or months, this post is for you. Show Notes: MiloTree Kylie Kelly AI Ebook Prompt Generator Free Canva ebook template AI Freebie Prompt Generator Email Sales Templates Join The Blogger Genius Newsletter Become a Blogger Genius Facebook Group Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: YouTube iTunes Spotify Why Most Creators Get Email Wrong A common myth in email marketing is that you need to “warm up” your audience before making any offer. Kylie calls this out. Why wait, she asks, when your new subscriber is most engaged right now—immediately after signing up for your freebie? This is the moment they’re most open to hearing from you. They’ve just said, “Yes, I trust you.” So why not show them exactly how you can help? Here’s What to Do Instead Kylie breaks it down simply: ✅ Send a single, value-packed welcome email Instead of a 5-part welcome sequence, Kylie delivers the freebie and introduces herself and sells—all in the same email. ✅ Include your offer in the PS She doesn’t hit people over the head with it. She simply adds a quick, “P.S. I also have this membership—check it out if you’re ready to go deeper.” That’s it. And it converts. ✅ Follow up with a short nurture sequence After that first email, she sends a few value-packed emails that build trust and explain the benefits of her offer. This works because it’s honest, direct, and respects the reader’s time. Want to Build Your Email List Fast—Without Social Media? You don’t need a huge following or a complicated funnel to grow your list. 🎉 With MiloTree’s Free Plan, you can: Create an AI-generated opt-in landing page in minutes Upload and deliver your freebie automatically Grow your email list with ease Start selling digital products with zero tech overwhelm Perfect for bloggers, course creators, and online entrepreneurs who want results fast—no credit card required. Freebie Ideas That Actually Convert Not sure what kind of freebie to offer? Kylie recommends: Quizzes (people love discovering something about themselves) Private podcasts (great for busy moms or on-the-go entrepreneurs) Simple PDFs or checklists (value matters more than design) 👉 Want to create a freebie today? Grab our AI Freebie Prompt Cheatsheet to generate yours in under 5 minutes. How to Be More Intentional with Your List Building The key takeaway from Kylie’s strategy? Intentionality. Don’t grow a big list—grow the right list. Every opt-in, freebie swap, or bundle you join should be built around one question: “Is this bringing in my ideal customer?” Otherwise, you risk having a large, disengaged list that costs money to maintain but doesn’t convert. Pro tip: Before you join a collaboration or bundle, ask yourself: Will my ideal client be here? Is my freebie aligned with what they truly need? Am I thinking strategically about where I want this subscriber to go? Why Email Beats Social Media Every Time Many creators pour endless hours into Instagram and TikTok, only to see minimal results. Kylie looked at her own analytics and realized: social media was barely sending traffic to her site. So she quit the game—and leaned fully into email. Today, she sells through email in nearly every message she sends. And guess what? She’s thriving. Ready to Sell in Your First Email? Here’s your 3-step plan to start today: Offer a Freebie: Use MiloTree’s free plan to create your opt-in landing page in minutes. Send a Powerful First Email: Deliver the freebie, introduce yourself, and offer your product (even in a simple P.S.). Follow Up with Value: Send 2-3 follow-up emails that guide your new subscriber to the solution you offer. ✅ Skip the perfectionism. ✅ Skip the endless warming-up. ✅ Start selling sooner. Because the truth is, your audience doesn’t need a million touchpoints—they need clarity, value, and direction. And when you believe in what you’re offering, selling isn’t sleazy—it’s service. Final Thought Stop playing small with your email strategy. If you’re offering real value, there’s no reason to wait to sell. Let your audience know how you can help—starting with email #1. 📬 Ready to turn subscribers into buyers? Sign up for MiloTree and start selling from your inbox today!
