  • The Secret to Growing Your Email List: Insights from Flodesk Co-Founder Rebecca Shostak
    2025/01/22
    If you’re an online entrepreneur, coach, or blogger, you’ve likely been told that email marketing is key to growing your business. The saying is true, "The money is in your list!" Yet, the complexities of setting up email systems and crafting campaigns can feel daunting. In my newest episode of The Blogger Genius Podcast, I interviewed Rebecca Shostak, co-founder of Flodesk (affiliate), a platform revolutionizing email marketing for small businesses. Rebecca shared her journey from designing merchandise for top music acts like Rihanna and Linkin Park to co-founding Flodesk, a tool designed to make email marketing simple, beautiful, and accessible. In this post, we’ll unpack strategies for growing your business, simplifying your processes, and using tools like Flodesk and MiloTree to make your efforts easy, effective, and profitable.

Here’s why: Higher Engagement Rates: While social media posts have a 3-5% visibility rate, email open rates range from 30-80% for engaged audiences.Unmatched ROI: For every dollar spent on email marketing, businesses see an average return of $40.Ownership of Your Audience: Social media algorithms are unpredictable, but with email, you own your subscriber list, ensuring direct communication with your audience. If you’re not already building an email list, now is the time to start. Luckily, tools like Flodesk and MiloTree make this process seamless and free. How Simplicity Drives Success In business, complexity can be the enemy of progress. Rebecca Shostak, co-founder of Flodesk, and my recent guest on The Blogger Genius Podcast, shared her philosophy: “Less is more.” This mindset applies to email design, business strategy, and the way you communicate with your audience. Here’s how simplicity can transform your efforts: 1. Simplify Email Design Stick to 1-2 Fonts: Consistent typography creates a polished, professional look.Use Ample White Space: Break up content to make it visually appealing and easy to read.Focus on One Message: Avoid cramming multiple ideas into a single email. Instead, send shorter, more frequent emails. 2.

Offer one solution at a time.Leverage Simple Tools: MiloTree integrates seamlessly with major email platforms like Flodesk, allowing you to grow your list and sell digital products effortlessly. How to Transition Social Media Followers into Email Subscribers Social media is great for visibility, but it’s not where sales happen. Rebecca described email as the “intimate conversation” stage of the customer relationship. Here are actionable tips to transition your social followers into engaged email subscribers: Offer a Valuable Freebie A freebie (also known as a lead magnet) is an excellent way to incentivize followers to join your list.

Whether it's searching for tutorials, hunting for elusive features, or reaching out to support when things go awry, these frustrations are all too familiar. This struggle is an inevitable part of building an online business. A Personal Anecdote My husband David, a tech expert and the mastermind behind MiloTree, despite his technical prowess, faced difficulties connecting to the hotel Wi-Fi during our recent vacation in Miami. This incident highlighted our very reason for creating MiloTree: to provide technology that works seamlessly, allowing users to avoid the chaos that often accompanies building an online business. The Sales Funnel Simplified Attracting People: Using social media to draw in potential customers.Converting Them into Email Subscribers: Offering valuable content to encourage sign-ups.Selling Products or Services: Building trust and making sales to your audience.

The platform generates an AI-created sales page, and users can also offer coupons and upsells to enhance their sales strategy.

  • The Rise of Personality-Driven Content: How to Stand Out Online
    2025/01/08
    Download my free guide to discover the 6 powerful triggers that turn your product into a must-have and make people want to buy it. 🚀 ==> milotree.com/triggers In my first episode of 2025, I sat down with Bjork Ostrom, co-founder of the renowned food blog Pinch of Yum and the online membership site and podcast Food Blogger Pro. Our conversation delves deep into the evolving landscape of food blogging and content creation. Show Notes: MiloTreePinch of YumFood Blogger Pro6 Purchasing Triggers DownloadThe 3 AI Prompts You Need to Create a Freebie CheatsheetJoin The Blogger Genius NewsletterBecome a Blogger Genius Facebook Group Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: iTunesYouTubeSpotify The Genesis of Pinch of Yum Bjork and Lindsay's journey began with a synergy of complementary skills. Lindsay's passion for social media, recipe development, and photography meshed perfectly with Bjork's focus on business growth and search engine optimization (SEO). This combination allowed them to build a successful platform, even though they didn’t initially plan it that way Actionable Advice: Identify Complementary Skills: If you're working with a partner, identify and leverage each other's strengths. This can create a balanced and effective approach to content creation and business growth. Celebrate Small Wins: In the early stages, celebrate small milestones like gaining a few visitors or making your first dollar. This iterative process can help you stay motivated and recognize progress. The Importance of Adaptability Embracing Change and New Opportunities Bjork and I emphasize the importance of being open to change and adapting to new opportunities. I liken building a business to mining for gold, where entrepreneurs dig deeper when they find promising signs. This mindset of exploration and adaptability is crucial for long-term success. Actionable Advice: Stay Open to Shifts: While it's essential to pursue what you love, remain flexible and responsive to market needs. This can lead to unexpected success. Experiment and Pivot: Don't be afraid to test new ideas and pivot based on feedback and results. The ability to adapt is a significant advantage in the ever-changing digital landscape. Outside-In vs. Inside-Out Business Building I advise against building a business solely based on a personal idea without validating it through feedback. This "outside-in" approach contrasts with "inside-out" business building, where one assumes their idea will resonate with everyone Actionable Advice: Seek Input from Others: Before investing significant time and resources, discuss your ideas with others to gain insights and refine concepts. This can help you identify genuine market needs and avoid costly mistakes. Engage in Conversations: By engaging in conversations with your audience and peers, you can gather diverse perspectives that help shape your ideas into something viable. The Role of Community and Collaboration Bjork emphasizes that building a successful business often requires a diverse set of skills. Entrepreneurs may possess some of these skills but will likely need to surround themselves with others who can fill in the gaps. This collaborative approach enhances the quality of the work and fosters a supportive network. Actionable Advice: Collaborate with Others: Surround yourself with individuals who complement your skills and can provide valuable feedback and encouragement. Engage with Your Community: Building a community around your content can provide support, feedback, and opportunities for growth. The Evolution of Content Creation Bjork reflects on how the food blogging industry has evolved from sharing simple recipes to creating comprehensive guides that cover every aspect of a topic. This shift was driven by SEO strategies, but recent updates have shifted the focus back to more human-centric content. Actionable Advice: Focus on Quality Content: While SEO is important, prioritize creating valuable and engaging content that resonates with your audience. Incorporate Personal Storytelling: The next phase of food blogging will prioritize personal storytelling and connection over mere information exchange. Share your unique voice and experiences to build genuine connections with your audience. The Impact of AI on Content Creation Leveraging AI for Efficiency and Creativity Bjork and I discuss the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in their creative processes. We find AI to be an invaluable tool for brainstorming, refining ideas, and streamlining tasks. While AI may not replace jobs, those who effectively utilize AI will have a competitive advantage. Actionable Advice: Use AI as a Tool: Incorporate AI tools to enhance your productivity and creativity. AI can help with content generation, organization, and analysis. Blend Human Creativity with AI: The future of content creation will involve a blend of human creativity and AI assistance. Use AI to handle repetitive ...
