    The Ad Strategist's Guide to Growing on Facebook Right Now

    Facebook quietly rewrote its own rules, and most creators haven't caught on yet. Amanda Bond, the strategist behind The Ad Strategist, explains how a sudden shift toward TikTok-style discoverability let her drive 23,000 visits to a single blog post and helped a brand-new page hit 100,000 followers in weeks. In this episode, Amanda breaks down what changed in Facebook's algorithm starting in August 2025, why posting frequency now matters more than ever, and how she uses Creator Studio insights to find the exact content people are already searching for. She and Ashley get into the real mechanics of growing an audience from scratch: testing every post format, tracking reach and link clicks, doubling down on what already works, and using Facebook traffic to boost search rankings on your own blog. It's a practical, no-fluff conversation for anyone building a page, a business, or a personal brand on Facebook right now.

    From $0 to $2K a Month: How a Travel Blogger Cracked SEO, Affiliates, and AI Overviews

    What if the blog you abandoned for twelve years could quietly turn into a reliable two thousand dollars a month? That is exactly what happened to travel blogger Michelle of Travel HerStory, and in this episode she breaks down the SEO shift, affiliate strategy, and content habits that finally made it click. Michelle sits down with Ashley Grant to share the real numbers behind her travel blog comeback, including how she went from "throwing paint at the wall" to ranking on page one of Google. You will hear how she edited a hundred old posts to spark new traffic, why she leans on Pinterest and Google as her two main drivers, and how AI Overviews sliced her income in half for a single brutal month before bouncing back. She also gets candid about the ad networks she has used (She Media, Journey, and a surprise early invite to Mediavine), her favorite affiliate programs like Stay22 and Travelpayouts, and how Amazon commissions add up even when readers buy something totally random. Beyond the money, Michelle and Ashley dig into E-E-A-T and why authentic, personal storytelling beats generic AI content every time, how to spot sponsorship scams, the power of pillar posts, and how landing contract writing work with brands like AAA created income that does not depend on the algorithm. Whether you are a new blogger or a seasoned creator rethinking your traffic strategy, this conversation is packed with practical, honest advice you can act on today.
