The Smart Passive Income Online Business and Blogging Podcast

AL #022 If you're just starting out, you likely haven't grown much of an email list or a big following on socials. Figuring out which to build first can feel like a chicken-and-egg kind of thing. So what do you do? I'll be honest with you. Social media has always been a struggle for me, and I'm only now starting to take it seriously. Yep, seven years into running my personal brand! But why now? The answer is actually really simple, and it's just ManyChat! I swear this isn't a sponsored episode, but using DM automation changes everything. You know I used to be all about OPP. I would show up as a guest on other people's platforms, offer value, nail my pitch, and attract new email subscribers. And all that still works! But pairing it with ManyChat on Instagram has opened up a whole new way to grow. Tune in to hear how I use it! Show notes and more at SmartPassiveIncome.com/al022.

#953 Pat is back with an update! From buying an 8,000-square-foot building in San Diego and turning it into a full-on film studio to possibly partnering with Tom Brady's card shop, big things are happening at Deep Pocket Monster! It hasn't even been that long since I took over SPI, but a lot has already changed on Pat's end. Today, he shares his plans with us, breaks down what his workdays look like, and gives us a look at the massive numbers he's pulling on YouTube. But as excited as Pat is to take on new challenges, he's still turning down plenty of opportunities. Listen in to learn why he said no to a million-dollar brand deal and what kind of example he hopes to set for his young audience! Tune in and join us for this catch-up!

MM #004 There's freedom in saying yes to yourself. That's why the more you say yes to your ideas, the more creative you'll be. I love that as the takeaway from today's Monday Members chat with my guest, Marion Bevington. As you'll hear, she's overcoming important obstacles and putting herself out there to build a community around her mission! In fact, being herself is what helped her attract nearly 200,000 young followers on TikTok in just four months! And I'm sure listening in on today's episode will inspire you to follow in her footsteps. You'll hear how Marion has locked in on a mindset that finds as much value in the lows as in the highs. We'll learn more about her book on IBS, what creating looks like when you can't see the phone in front of you, and why posting unfiltered attracts true superfans. Enjoy!

Al #021 Applying generalized email strategies you find online often gets "meh" results. It can feel like you're wasting time and resources. And that's especially true for niche service providers who only need a few long-term clients and aren't looking to sell tons of products. Side note: that's why these AskLiz episodes are so neat. Let me know what you're dealing with at SpeakPipe.com/LizWilcox, and I'll give you my best advice for your specific situation. But in this episode, I'm sharing my top email marketing tips for service-based businesses. If you're anything like Tracy, who submitted the question for today's session, you might need help optimizing your welcome sequence, improving your open rates, and getting more replies. And that's a great way to start feeling like email is actually contributing to your business! I'll cover hand-raiser emails, super signatures, how to showcase your expertise, how to address objections, and the exact sequences you should consider!

#952 What happens when you just decide to do it? What can you achieve if you put the drama away, stop overthinking, and focus on taking action? Instead of indulging every little limiting thought, how about you get out of your own way? In today's episode, I'm chatting with one of my favorite people, Allan Ngo of DigitalSolopreneur.com. As you'll hear, Allan is an absolute treat! He lives in the Philippines and does incredible work helping his followers build businesses that generate serious revenue without taking over their whole lives. We'll dive into how Allan has managed to break into the North American market, the serve-first mindset he's built his brand on, leading through action, and overcoming limiting beliefs. I'm so excited about this session because Allan is truly all about helping others succeed while building community and connection. While I could gush about him all day, I'll let Allan inspire you to think bigger! Show notes and more at SmartPassiveIncome.com/session952.
