    SEO Isn’t Dead in 2025—You’re Just Playing the Old Game (Here’s the New One)

    If your traffic fell off a cliff after recent Google updates and AI answers, you’re not alone—especially if you’re a recipe, YMYL (Your Money or Your Life), or niche blogger who used to win with long posts and ads. But SEO isn’t dead—it’s evolved. In my latest Blogger Genius Podcast episode, I'm talk to SEO strategist, Steven Schneider, who breaks down exactly how creators can still win in 2025: build visible authority, earn strategic backlinks, improve UX, and shift revenue toward newsletters and products. Show Notes: MiloTree Free Plan Steven Schneider 6 Purchasing Triggers Test Join The Blogger Genius Newsletter Become a Blogger Genius Facebook Group Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: iTunes YouTube Spotify The Problem Creators Are Facing in 2025 AI is answering queries and compressing clicks—brutal for “quick-answer” niches like recipes. Google is rewarding authority (E-E-A-T) and punishing thin UX (endless scroll, intrusive ads, fluff). Old playbooks (publish more posts, stuff in keywords, hope for ad RPM) don’t move the needle. Solution in a sentence: Treat search like a brand + authority channel, not a traffic lottery. Build proof of expertise on every page, earn real mentions/links, and turn all attention into owned audiences and product revenue. What’s Working Now (According to Steven) 1) Authority > everything Add clear E-E-A-T signals on every post and key page (not just your About page): Real author byline + headshot 2–3 credential links (culinary school, certifications, LinkedIn) Awards/press mentions (linked) Concise author bio block on each post This helps Google and readers trust that a human expert wrote it. 2) Backlinks with intent (no spray-and-pray) Guest on podcasts (links in show notes = high-quality, relevant). Offer expert quotes to other bloggers/journalists; pitch quick 2–3 sentence tips they can drop in with a link. Vary anchor text (brand, URL, topical phrases) and use reciprocal links sparingly. Paying for “time” vs “links” is a gray area—be selective and ethical. 3) UX that respects the reader Stop the 4,000-word detours; give the answer fast and add optional depth. Keep one H1 per page, logical H2/H3s, strong internal linking, and basic schema hygiene. Recipes/how-to: lead with the steps; put the story below. 4) BOFU content (not just top-of-funnel) Steven’s agency prioritizes bottom-of-funnel, high-intent topics that convert to leads or sales—because SEO must tie to revenue. 5) Newsletter > ad RPM Clicks are down, but email still converts. Build a free newsletter, nurture weekly, and sell your own offers (ebooks, mini-courses, templates, memberships). 7-Step Action Plan (Do this in the next 14 days) Add E-E-A-T blocks site-wide Byline, headshot, 2–3 credential links, “Reviewed by” where relevant. Fix on-page structure One H1, clean headings, scannable sections, strong internal links among related posts. Create one “wow” asset (lead magnet or calculator) Examples: Gluten-free flour swap chart (instant, high-value) Meal-prep planner (fillable PDF) ROI/Cost calculator (tools get links + emails) Pitch 10 podcasts in your niche Offer 3 topic angles, a short bio, and a value-packed outline; request a site link in show notes. Run a “quote outreach” sprint Identify 25 relevant posts; email the author a ready-to-paste 2–3 sentence expert tip + your preferred link target (vary anchors). Publish 3 BOFU posts Bottom-of-funnel queries aligned to your product (e.g., “Meal-prep templates,” “Gluten-free baking guide PDF,” “One-hour blogging audit”). Launch or revive your newsletter Weekly format: 1 tip, 1 tool, 1 template. Soft-pitch your product/freebie in each send. Make This Easy (and Free) with MiloTree With the MiloTree Free Plan, you can: Sell one digital product (ebook, template, workshop replay) Offer a freebie/lead magnet with automatic delivery Add a social pop-up to grow followers while you sleep Spin up AI-generated pages (sales + opt-in) in minutes 👉 Start free: set up your product or freebie and start collecting subscribers + sales today. (No tech headaches, no credit card required.) FAQ (Quick Answers) Is there a way to “write for AI” specifically? Not really. Write for humans with clear structure, show expertise, and earn authority; that is what LLMs and Google both surface. Should I pay for links? It’s a gray area; focus on earning links via value (podcasts, tools, quotes). If compensation is about someone’s time to implement, be selective and ethical. What on-page items still matter? Single H1, logical headings, internal links, page speed, helpful schema. Meta descriptions are less critical but still fine to include. Your Next 2 Moves (Start Today) Spin up a freebie in MiloTree (cheat sheet, planner, or calculator) and add it site-wide. Pitch one podcast + send one expert quote email before you log off today. You’ve got this. The new game rewards real expertise, useful assets, and owned audiences—and that’s a much more resilient business.

    How to Build a Digital Product Ladder That Turns $7 Customers into $2,000 Customers (Complete AI System Revealed)

    If you’re a coach, blogger, or online entrepreneur struggling to make consistent income from your digital products, you’re not alone. Most creators try to sell one digital product and fail because they’re missing a crucial piece of the puzzle: a systematic approach that transforms low-paying customers into high-value clients. In my latest episode of The Blogger Genius Podcast, I revealed the exact AI-powered system that successful creators use to build $10,000+ monthly businesses. This isn’t theory—it’s the proven strategy that MiloTree users like Sarah have used to grow from 200 email subscribers to $11,000 monthly revenue in just six months. In this post, we’ll unpack how to create a digital product ladder, use AI to build your entire system, and leverage MiloTree to handle all the tech without the headache. Show Notes: MiloTree Free Plan Digital Product Ladder AI Prompt (Free Download) 6 Purchasing Triggers Test Join The Blogger Genius Newsletter Become a Blogger Genius Facebook Group Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: iTunes YouTube Spotify Why Most Digital Product Creators Fail (And How to Avoid Their Mistakes) The biggest mistake creators make is building products they’re passionate about instead of solving problems people actually pay to solve. Before you create anything, your digital product idea must pass what I call the “Purchasing Triggers Test.” Your product needs to do at least two of these six things: Make someone money Save them money Save them time Move them toward happiness Move them away from pain Raise their social status If your idea doesn’t hit at least two triggers, don’t build it. You’ll waste months creating something nobody wants to buy. Let’s test this with a real example: “Time Management for Busy Moms” ✅ Save them time? Absolutely ✅ Move them toward happiness? Yes (less stress, more family time) ✅ Move them away from pain? Yes (overwhelm and guilt) This passes with flying colors because it hits three triggers. The Digital Product Ladder System That Creates $10K Months Here’s what successful creators understand that others don’t: instead of selling one product, they build a digital product ladder. This system starts with a free valuable resource and guides customers through increasingly valuable solutions at higher price points. The magic happens when someone who downloads your free guide eventually becomes a $2,000 mastermind member. That’s how you reach $10,000 monthly revenue—not by selling a million $10 products. The 6-Step Digital Product Ladder Framework Step 1: Free Valuable Resource (Freebie) Solves one specific problem Delivers a quick, tangible win Gets people on your email list Step 2: Tripwire Product ($7-$27) Small purchase on your thank-you page Naturally follows from the freebie Turns subscribers into buyers Step 3: Product Bundle ($47-$97) Combines multiple resources Provides comprehensive results Higher perceived value Step 4: Mini Course or Coaching Package ($197-$497) Structured learning experience Leads customers toward membership More hands-on support Step 5: Monthly Membership ($27-$97/month) Ongoing support and community Recurring revenue stream Builds long-term relationships Step 6: Premium Mastermind ($997-$2,997) High-touch program For serious implementers Your highest revenue generator The AI Prompt That Builds Your Entire Business Model in 30 Seconds Here’s the game-changing AI prompt that creates your complete digital product ladder system. Simply go to ChatGPT (the free version works fine) and enter this prompt with your specific details: “I want to create a complete digital product ladder for [YOUR NICHE/TOPIC]. Help me design a six-step customer journey that transforms a free subscriber into a high-value customer. Step 1: Create a valuable freebie that solves one specific pain point and delivers a quick, tangible win. Step 2: Design a tripwire product that’s something small I can sell on the thank-you page after someone joins my list. This product should naturally follow from the freebie and provide deeper value. Step 3: Develop a product bundle that combines multiple resources for comprehensive results. Step 4: Structure a mini course or coaching package that ultimately leads customers into joining my membership. Step 5: Design a monthly membership that provides ongoing support and community. Step 6: Create a premium mastermind or high-touch program for serious implementers. For each step, provide the product concept, main benefits, suggested price, and how it connects to the next level.”   How MiloTree Eliminates the Tech Overwhelm The biggest obstacle most creators face isn’t knowing what to create—it’s the technical setup. How do you actually build all this without getting overwhelmed by complicated tech? This is where MiloTree becomes your secret weapon. You can set up each step of your ladder—from your freebie to your mastermind membership—right inside MiloTree without needing a website or expensive tech tools.

    This $100/Sale Hack Changed Everything (Digital Product Secret)

    If you sell digital products, you’ve probably asked: “How do I increase revenue without adding more work?” Good news—there’s a simple, ethical, customer‑friendly tactic that top creators use every day: Order bumps. In this post, I’ll show you what an order bump is, why it reliably grows your average order value (AOV), real examples that convert, and a copy‑paste prompt to brainstorm your own in minutes. I’ll also share how to set this up with MiloTree (including what you can do on the Free Plan), so you can start today. What’s an Order Bump? Think “add fries to your burger.” An order bump is a small, complementary offer shown right on the checkout page—purchased with a single checkbox click. Why it works Zero extra friction: Buyer is already in buying mode. Clear added value: The bump makes the main product easier, faster, or better. Low price point: Sweet spot is usually $5–$15. With MiloTree, the bump appears as a simple checkbox on your Stripe checkout. Your customer selects it, and boom—both items are purchased in one click. No extra pages. No confusion. Real creators using MiloTree report 30–40%+ of buyers taking the bump—turning a $27 sale into $33–$38 in seconds. Show Notes: MiloTree FREEBIE: 10 Awesome Digital Products You Can Launch This Week FREEBIE: 3 AI Prompts You Need to Create a Freebie Cheatsheet FREEBIE: 13 AI Prompts to Write an Ebook in Under 3 Hours Join The Blogger Genius Newsletter Become a Blogger Genius Facebook Group Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: YouTube iTunes Spotify How to Brainstorm Your Order Bump (Copy‑Paste Prompt) Open ChatGPT (free version is fine) and paste: You’re an expert digital product strategist. I want to sell one main product and one smaller related product as an order bump. My niche is: [insert niche] My audience’s biggest problem is: [insert problem] Give me 5 ideas for the main product and, for each one, a smaller related digital product that can be offered as an order bump. In minutes, you’ll have pairs you can sell individually and together. Pro tip: If your solution is good, people don’t care about fancy design. You can draft the whole bump in a simple Google Doc. Pricing & Positioning: Quick Guidelines Keep it bite‑sized: A quick win your buyer can use today. Price for impulse: Aim for $5–$15. Complete the win: Ask, “What would make the main product easier/faster?” That’s your bump. Step‑by‑Step: Set It Up in MiloTree Create your main product (Google Doc → PDF works great). Create your bump product (short checklist, template pack, scripts, flashcards, etc.). Connect Stripe in MiloTree. Add the order bump to the main product’s checkout (it appears as a checkbox). Test your flow and publish. What can you do on the MiloTree Free Plan? Sell 1 product for free and offer 1 freebie to grow your list. Perfect for getting your first product live fast and validating demand. Note: Because an order bump sells a second product, bumps require a paid MiloTree plan. Plans start affordably, and many creators earn back the cost (and more) just from the bump uplift. When you’re ready to add bumps (and unlimited products), upgrade and flip the switch. When Not to Use a Bump If it’s unrelated or bloats the purchase. If the price is too high for an impulse add‑on. If it introduces new tools/tech that slow the buyer down. Keep it tight, relevant, and helpful. Final Thought Order bumps turn the sale you’re already making into a bigger win for your customer and more revenue for you—without more content, hustle, or tech. What’s your main + bump combo? Drop it in the comments and I’ll help you refine it. Want help getting this live—fast? Spin up your first product + one freebie on the MiloTree Free Plan today. When you’re ready to add the order bump checkbox, upgrade and watch your AOV climb.

    $0 → $100: Use These 2 AI Prompts to Launch Your First Digital Product

    To see exactly what I'm doing, please watch the YouTube video for the episode here. If you’ve ever said, “I want to make money online, but I don’t know where to start,” this post is for you. You don’t need a website, complicated funnel, or tech skills to launch your first digital product and make your first $100 online. In fact, all you need is one idea, one Google Doc, and one link. In my latest episode of The Blogger Genius Podcast, I walk you through a step-by-step system to go from “no product” to “product sold”—using free tools like Google Docs, ChatGPT, and MiloTree’s free plan. 💥 Let’s break it down. Show Notes: MiloTree FREEBIE: 2 AI Prompts to Make Your First $100 Fast FREEBIE: 10 Awesome Digital Products You Can Launch This Week FREEBIE: 3 AI Prompts You Need to Create a Freebie Cheatsheet FREEBIE: 13 AI Prompts to Write an Ebook in Under 3 Hours Join The Blogger Genius Newsletter Become a Blogger Genius Facebook Group Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: YouTube iTunes Spotify The Fastest Way to Launch a Digital Product (Even If You’re Not “Techy”) Most people get stuck before they even start. They worry about branding, design, websites, funnels... when really, your only goal should be to get a product in front of buyers and test what works. This is about speed and momentum. Here’s how to do it in under an hour: 🧠 Step 1: Use AI to Find Your Profitable Product Idea Use this AI prompt (which you can download for free here): “You are one of the top digital product creators and online business strategists in the world. You deeply understand what makes people buy and how to deliver high value offers fast. My area of expertise is [insert yours]. What are 10 problems people struggle with in this area?” You don't need to be a guru—just someone a few steps ahead. Think meal planning, budgeting, decluttering, productivity, parenting… whatever you’ve figured out that others want help with. Still not sure which problem to pick? Ask ChatGPT to refine the list. Then pick one. 📄 Step 2: Create a Simple Product in a Google Doc Next, prompt ChatGPT: “Write me a short high value checklist or guide that solves this problem in under 10 minutes.” Paste that into a Google Doc, give it a quick edit, save it as a PDF, and boom—you have a product. This isn’t about making it perfect. This is about making it fast and helpful. Think of it as your “B-minus” product—the one that gets you paid. 💸 Step 3: Sell It with No Website or Funnel Head to MiloTree and sign up for our free plan. Here’s what you’ll do: In your dashboard, click Digital Download. Name your product, set a price (e.g., $17), and write a short description. Upload your PDF. Click “Create Sales Page”—MiloTree’s AI writes it for you! Connect your Stripe account to accept payments. Done. You now have a sales page and payment system—ready to go. We even deliver your PDF to buyers automatically. Zero tech drama. Zero stress. 📣 Step 4: Share Your Link Everywhere This is where most creators give up. They post once on social media and wonder why they’re not making sales. The truth? Most people need to see your product 5–7 times before they buy. Here’s where to promote your sales page: Facebook groups where your audience hangs out Reddit threads discussing your topic Pinterest pins linking directly to your sales page Your Instagram bio Your email signature DMs to friends or followers who might benefit Be scrappy. This is how your first $17 turns into $100, then $1,000. 🧠 What Do I Say to Get Sales? Don’t overthink it. Try something simple like: “Hey, I created this $17 guide to help with [this problem]. It’s short, easy, and it works. Want the link?” Test different messages. See what gets replies. This is how you build your marketing muscle. 🚀 The Mindset That Makes It All Work Perfection is a trap. Done is better than perfect. A B-minus product can still solve a real problem—and that’s what people pay for. You can always improve later. The magic happens when you’re willing to ship fast, collect feedback, and iterate. Your 6-Step Product Launch Plan (Free + Easy) Use our free AI prompt to brainstorm your product.

    Can You Really Make Money on Pinterest with One Pin a Day?

    If you’re an online entrepreneur, blogger, or coach trying to grow your email list or sell your products, you might feel stuck chasing Instagram trends and getting nowhere. What if there was a better, more sustainable way to drive traffic, collect leads, and make sales—on autopilot? 💡 Enter Pinterest—the most overlooked platform for organic growth. In the latest episode of The Blogger Genius Podcast, I spoke with Nadalie Bardo, aka Your Pin Coach, who shared why Pinterest is a game-changer for creators who want to grow their business without dancing on Reels or fighting algorithm changes. Here’s what we uncovered—and how you can use Pinterest to grow your list, sell digital products, and make money starting now. 🎯 Pinterest Isn’t Social Media—It’s a Search Engine Unlike Instagram or TikTok, Pinterest is a visual search engine. That means content you create today can continue bringing you traffic and leads months or even years from now. “Pinterest is the slow burn that keeps burning,” says Nadalie. “It brings in long-term results without the need to post daily.” Instead of relying on fleeting posts that disappear from feeds, you’re building an evergreen traffic machine. 🚀 Step 1: Grow Your Email List with Pinterest The smartest way to use Pinterest? To grow your list with a lead magnet or freebie. 👋 Don’t have a freebie yet? With MiloTree’s Free Plan, you can create an opt-in page in under 5 minutes, upload your freebie, and start collecting email addresses immediately—no tech skills required. Nadalie recommends starting with 10 links—these could be blog posts, opt-in pages, sales pages, podcast episodes, or YouTube videos. Then: Find 3–5 Keywords relevant to your niche using Pinterest Trends or the search bar. Create 5 Pin Templates (Canva is perfect for this). Design 5 Pins per Link using those templates. Schedule 1 Pin per Day to start. This strategy gives you 50 days of content—without burnout. 📅 Tap Into Pinterest Seasonality for Fast Results Pinterest is a seasonal platform. If you can tap into trends—like summer vacations, back-to-school, or holiday gift guides—you’ll accelerate your growth. Example: If you’re a gut health coach, try pins like: “How to Navigate Summer BBQs with IBS” “5 Gut-Friendly Holiday Recipes” “What to Pack for a Bloat-Free Beach Trip” Seasonal content works because it aligns with what your audience is already searching for right now. 🤖 How to Use AI the Right Way (and Avoid Common Mistakes) AI tools like ChatGPT can support your Pinterest strategy—but don’t rely on them for everything. ✅ Use ChatGPT to: Write pin titles and descriptions (after you identify your keywords)   Brainstorm use cases for your products (e.g., a bracelet as a bridal shower gift)   Expand your audience by matching your niche with trending interests like nail art or summer hairstyles ❌ Avoid using ChatGPT to: Do keyword research (Pinterest has its own data)   Generate AI-written content that misleads users (Pinterest is cracking down on this) 💸 Can You Link a Pin Directly to a Product and Make Sales? Yes—but don’t rely on a “one and done” pin to do all the work. The truth is: 🧩 A pin might take weeks or months before someone buys. 👀 It could take 20 touchpoints before a customer makes a purchase. That’s why email is your superpower. Use Pinterest to get people onto your email list with a compelling freebie, then follow up with: A welcome sequence A tripwire or low-cost offer An email series that builds trust and sells your product 🛠 With MiloTree’s Free Plan, you can set up your freebie delivery and sell your first digital product—all from one simple dashboard. 🔥 Pinterest Traffic Is More Valuable Than Google Yes, seriously. Nadalie reports that traffic from Pinterest earns her 3–5x more in ad revenue than traffic from Google or Bing. That’s because Pinterest users are in action-taking mode. They’re not just scrolling—they’re clicking, saving, and buying. ✅ Start Simple: One Freebie + One Pin a Day You don’t need 20 pins a day to see results. If you’ve got one strong freebie that solves a real problem and you create 5-10 pins to promote it, that’s enough to start growing your list and validating your funnel. This is the exact strategy we recommend with MiloTree: Upload your freebie Use our AI to generate an opt-in landing page Post pins that lead people to it 🆓 And yes, you can do all of this on the MiloTree Free Plan. Start here and grow from there. Final Thoughts: Pinterest + MiloTree = Organic Growth Engine If you’re tired of chasing social media trends with little to show for it, it’s time to try Pinterest. Pinterest gives you consistent, qualified traffic. MiloTree helps you turn that traffic into subscribers and sales. Start with a clear goal, a simple freebie, and one pin a day—and build from there. 👉 Ready to start? Grab Nadalie’s Free Pinterest Best Practices Cheat Sheet and Free Masterclass at YourPinCoach.com.

    If you’ve been dreaming of selling digital products but feel overwhelmed by where to start, here’s the truth: 💡You don’t need a website, a huge audience, or even a polished idea. You just need one problem to solve… and two powerful AI prompts. In this post, I’ll walk you through how to use ChatGPT to uncover profitable product ideas fast — and how to sell them instantly with zero tech stress using MiloTree’s free plan. Show Notes: MiloTree FREEBIE: 10 Awesome Digital Products You Can Launch This Week FREEBIE: 3 AI Prompts You Need to Create a Freebie Cheatsheet FREEBIE: 13 AI Prompts to Write an Ebook in Under 3 Hours Join The Blogger Genius Newsletter Become a Blogger Genius Facebook Group Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: YouTube iTunes Spotify The Problem: You Have Expertise, But No Product Most creators, coaches, bloggers, and online entrepreneurs are sitting on a goldmine of knowledge — but they don’t know how to turn it into a sellable product. Sound familiar? This is where AI can step in and do the heavy lifting. Step 1: Use AI to Find Your Perfect Product Idea Here’s the first powerful prompt: “You are one of the top digital product creators and online business strategists in the world. You deeply understand what makes people buy and how to deliver high-value offers. My area of expertise is [INSERT YOUR NICHE]. What are 10 problems people struggle with in this area?” Let’s say you’re a meal planner. ChatGPT might give you problems like: Wasting food and money Picky eaters No time to plan Grocery overspending 💥 Choose the problem that resonates most. (We went with “wasting food and money.”) Step 2: Ask AI for 10 Digital Products You Can Create This Week Here’s the second prompt: “Based on the problem [INSERT PROBLEM], generate 10 digital product ideas I could create and launch this week. Each idea should be fast to create, hit one of the six buying triggers (make money, save money, save time, move toward happiness, move away from pain, raise social status), and include a pitch and format.” ChatGPT might return ideas like: The Leftover Makeover Guide (PDF) $75 Grocery Plan (Printable Tracker) Zero Waste Kitchen Challenge (Mini Course) Pantry Audit Checklist (Google Sheet) These products are fast to create, solve real problems, and tap directly into what motivates people to buy. Sell It with MiloTree in Under 10 Minutes Now that you’ve got your product idea, here’s how to start selling it TODAY: ✅ Upload your product to MiloTree’s free plan ✅ Get an AI-generated sales page ✅ Connect to Stripe ✅ Share your product link everywhere You can sell one product for free, offer one freebie to grow your email list, and add one social media pop-up to grow your followers. It’s the easiest way to start making money online. 🎯 No tech overwhelm. No funnel. No expensive software. Embrace “B-Minus Work” Perfection is the enemy of momentum. So here’s your permission slip to create a B-minus product. That means 80% done, above average — and ready to sell. You don’t need a $1,000 course. You need a $17 guide that solves one clear problem. You can always improve it later, but the magic happens when you launch and promote.

    🎯 How to Sell Your Digital Product in 2025 (Even If No One Knows You Yet)

    So, you finally created your ebook or digital product… now what? You’re probably asking: How do I actually sell this? You don’t need a giant following, viral content, or a fancy website to start making money from your knowledge. In fact, in 2025, selling digital products has never been simpler—or more accessible. Whether you're a blogger, coach, or online creator, the real secret to sales is solving a painful problem and getting your offer seen. In this post, I’ll walk you through the exact step-by-step system I teach creators to turn content into cash—and how you can do it for free using MiloTree’s free plan. Show Notes: MiloTree FREEBIE: 10 Awesome Digital Products You Can Launch This Week FREEBIE: 3 AI Prompts You Need to Create a Freebie Cheatsheet FREEBIE: 13 AI Prompts to Write an Ebook in Under 3 Hours Join The Blogger Genius Newsletter Become a Blogger Genius Facebook Group Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: YouTube iTunes Spotify The Truth: You Don’t Need a Huge Audience Here’s the biggest myth I hear: “I need thousands of followers to make money.” Nope. What you actually need is an engaged audience—even if it's small. The first step is choosing a niche you know something about. It doesn’t have to be your full-time job—just something people ask you about or that you enjoy. Your goal? Solve one specific problem for your audience. That’s the golden ticket. Still stuck? Grab this free download: 👉 10 Awesome Digital Products You Can Launch This Week Set Up Your Simple Sales Funnel (No Tech Needed) You don’t need a full website or an expensive sales funnel. All you need is a three-step system: 1. Create a Freebie This is how you grow your email list. Your freebie should solve a quick, valuable problem for your niche and feel like something people would pay for. Great examples: checklists, templates, cheatsheets. ➡️ With MiloTree’s Free Plan, you can: Upload your freebie Auto-generate your opt-in landing page using AI Connect your email service (like ConvertKit, MailerLite, Flodesk, or Mailchimp) And deliver your freebie automatically—all for free. 2. Follow Up with a Tripwire Once someone downloads your freebie, offer them a low-cost product ($7–$19). This is called a tripwire, and it’s a powerful way to turn subscribers into buyers immediately. Not only does it build trust, but it also validates your product idea fast. 3. Launch Your Product with Confidence You don’t need a storefront. MiloTree’s AI builds you a one-page sales page that’s live in minutes. Just name your product, set your price, and link your Stripe account to get paid. 🎉 Now you’re ready to start selling! Why Email Marketing Still Wins in 2025 Social media is great for discovery, but it’s not where the sales happen. Email outperforms social by a landslide—bringing in 40x more sales. Here’s why: 📬 Email is personal. 🧠 It builds trust. 💰 It converts. And thanks to tools like MiloTree, setting up your email list has never been easier. The Real Reason You’re Not Getting Sales Here’s the most common mistake I see: 👉 Posting your sales link once and expecting magic. People need to see your offer at least 7 times before they’ll take action. So share your link everywhere: Instagram bio Pinterest pins TikTok & YouTube descriptions Facebook groups and posts Email footer LinkedIn profile DMs where it’s relevant 💡 Every time you post, you’re planting seeds. Keep showing up and those seeds will grow. Start Messy. Sell Sooner. Stop waiting for the perfect product or 1,000 followers. Instead: Start with a quick-win product (ebook, coaching call, checklist). Solve one painful problem fast. Test different offers. Then double down on what works. Perfection slows you down. B-minus work grows your business. Period. Get Started for Free If you’re ready to sell your first product and build your list the easy way, here’s what to do: ✅ Sign up for MiloTree’s Free Plan – no credit card required ✅ Create and deliver your freebie ✅ Use AI to build your opt-in and sales pages ✅ Start growing your audience and making sales today 💥 Bonus Freebie: 10 Awesome Digital Products You Can Launch This Week – Don’t miss it!
