    Publishing Books with Jen Ruiz and Valerie Stimac | Mediavine On Air Episode 53

    Usually as a content creator, you're creating blogs, video content, and podcast. But there's multiple avenues to get your content and brand out there. Which all begs the question: have you ever wanted to publish a book? Writing a book is a natural segue for many bloggers, but the journey can seem large and long. In Summer of Live 2019, we talked to two Mediavine influencers who are both published authors: Jen Ruiz of Jen on a Jet Plane and Valerie Stimac of The Space Tourism Guide and Valerie & Valise. Jen and Valerie pack this episode with their honest individual experiences in publishing their own books, and give action-packed tips on how you can get started today. Make sure to tune in!

It is July 11th, and we are in the Summer of Live. I'm Jenny Guy, Mediavine's marketing manager, and it is our month of beyond blogging. So we are talking about the things that tie to your blogging career but might be a little bit outside just the nuts and bolts of operating your website. But we are here and we are so excited today to be talking about book publishing. And I have two amazing guests. But book publishing can seem like a really natural segue for a lot of bloggers. It's an extension of you sharing that expertise that you're already sharing with your audience-- that's sometimes it-- and then other times, it can be the impetus for people to begin blogging in the first place. We've heard a lot of publishers tell us they're great authors, but they aren't able to quite navigate the system and get published, so they decide to start a blog so they can make use of their expertise and their writing skills. But whatever your experiences with book publishing, I'm here with two guests who are both highly successful publishers. We're really excited to have them-- both on their websites and with their books. So first I have Jen Ruiz. Hello, Jen. Welcome. JENNIFER RUIZ: Hi, Jenny. Thank you. JENNY GUY: Awesome. So she is the Mediavine publisher with the site Jen on a Jet Plane, where she writes about affordable female travel solo-- which I think is so fierce and amazing. She's a frequent conference speaker, and she also has her own TED Talk. No big deal there. And, exciting news, she just told me she is doing another TEDx Talk, which I'll have her tell us about a little bit later. But her current TED Talk that's already available for release is "The Power of Flying Solo," which is advocating for travel as a cure for what ails you. She's also a lawyer and the author of the books You Need a Vacation, which is about how to travel with a full-time job, which we all could use, The Solo Female Travel Book, which is tips and inspiration for women who want to see the world on their own terms-- who doesn't?-- and The Affordable Flight Guide, which is how to find cheap airline tickets and see the world on a budget. That last one I just mentioned, The Affordable Flight Guide, just happens to be a number one Amazon best seller. So she has a few things she's worked on. Jen, welcome, and tell us just real quick, what's going on with you in your life right now? I know that I spilled the beans on your TED Talk, but what else is going on? JENNIFER RUIZ: You did. I just got that notification minutes before logging on today. [INTERPOSING VOICES] JENNIFER RUIZ: Hot off the presses, important news. Otherwise, I have a couple of press trips coming up. I'll be, actually, taking a food trip to Grand Rapids, Michigan next week, which I'm so excited about. I worked out really hard today to try to earn my right to eat all the delicious things next week. I have a big move coming up.

    How to Stay Fired Up About Your Brand with Jocelyn Delk Adams | Mediavine On Air Episode 52

    With all of the constant shifts in the blogging industry, from social media algorithms to influencer marketing trends, the one thing that stays consistent is your brand. After being a content creator for a while, you realize pretty quickly that you don't have control over many things. You'll never be able to control how many likes you get on a post, or how much engagement your blog pieces get But, you can always optimize your brand to be in the best position possible day in and day out. Back at MVCon 2019, Jocelyn Delk Adams took the stage to talk all things brand. She's the founder of Grandbaby Cakes, a brand inspired by her grandmother which shares classic recipes in a modern and accessible way. In this podcast episode, you'll hear her top tips on how to align your brand with your personal passion and create a community that you love. You don't want to miss it! Helpful Resources Grandbaby CakesJocelyn's CookbookGrandbaby Cakes MerchMediavine On Air Episode 49 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dx1UhSZM6UE&t=115s Transcript [MUSIC PLAYING] JOCELYN ADAMS: Good morning. Yeah! I'm the only one excited to be here? OK, I just want to apologize for the weather in Chicago. It sucks. I am sorry. [LAUGHTER] I am sorry. It will get better tomorrow. How is everyone doing? Yeah, I feel like I'm doing the Oprah-like thing. Well, first of all, we're going to go from high energy to probably some kind of cooler energy. And we'll go back and forth because this is a serious topic. So for you guys who are blogging a year or less, raise your hands, a year or less. Oh, so everybody is like OGs up in here? [LAUGHTER] Right? OK, so what about four to five years? OK, yeah, y'all need this. You burn out. Anything above that? Oh, my gosh, and you're still doing it. OK, clap for yourselves for real, right? Because this is hard. Staying fired up about your brand is very, very difficult to do. You've got the ebbs and flows. I mean, I'm sure most of you are not waking up every single day like, oh, my gosh, I can not wait to do SEO today. No? No, right? This is difficult. And it's like, oh, my gosh, I cannot wait to go out and do 20 more Instagram shoots today. It gets difficult to stay in the mix. So I have a presentation, and I have all of these thoughts about things you guys can do to externally keep the fire going and internally keep the fire going. But this morning, I had a lot more revelations. It was at like 3:00 in the morning. And I was up with my daughter. And I started writing in what looks like my eighth grade journal. Does anyone still do that? And so I have more stuff to offer too. And the first thing that came to mind for me is that staying fired up about your brand, that's inner work, right? So when you come to these conferences, you're going to learn so much about strategy, about how you can do all of the things, the things that keep your brand growing. But what about the things that keep you invested? What about the things that keep you excited about what you do every day? Because it's difficult. How many of you guys do this full time? A lot of you-- so the first thing I like to do is I recognize the gratitude. Because how many of you guys love what you do, right? Do you ever talk to some of your friends who go to a 9:00 to 5:00 or whatever, work weekends, not like us? But and their jobs suck. [LAUGHTER] Right? That is real. I'm talking about the people who are at the cubicle right now. And they are going to go get coffee. They're going to talk to somebody at the water cooler-- big fun. They're going to be on the phone later. And this is what they do day in and day out. But you guys are here, right? Think about the fun things you get to do. You get to interact with people online. You get to speak to them from your blog. You have this personal voice. You have something to offer. And you get to do all this stuff like work with brands. You get to be creative,

    What’s Next For Blogging with Eric Hochberger | Mediavine On Air Episode 51

    If content creators have learned anything recently, it's that the only constant in the blogging industry is CHANGE. As we usher in the privacy-centric era for the web, the winds of change are blowing more strongly than ever, but what does it all mean for publishers? On this Teal Talk, Jenny is sitting down with Mediavine CEO Eric Hochberger for a no-holds-barred conversation about the state of the blogging industry and everything Mediavine is doing to ensure that content creators not only survive the coming shifts but THRIVE.

Howdy, friends. Welcome. Welcome, one and all, to another episode of Mediavine's Teal Talk. For any of our first-time viewers, welcome. This is our live program where we feature experts from around the blogging industry on any and all topics that could help content creators build sustainable businesses. So basically if it concerns publishers, we are talking about it here. I am with you as always as your host, Jenny Guy. So happy to have you here today. We have a very big show for today, so we are just going to kind of speed through our little opening. But I did have to say that believe it or not, however you feel about the various memes announcing it, like it or not, it is already May. Mother's Day is Sunday. 2022, I have to say, is winning the award for Bat Out of Hell years. Like, I don't-- I don't know if anyone-- like, how is it already May? That's insane to me. This is our final episode of Teal Talk before we go on our hiatus for our fifth annual Summer of Live. So I don't know how that happened, but it is happening. It is the truth. And in a world this crazy where time has no meaning, it can be comforting to rely on traditions. And from Mediavine, for Teal Talk, for this show, we traditionally start things and end things with a certain guest. He's here with me today. He's Mediavine CEO and co-founder. Please welcome the one, the only Eric Hochberger back to the program. Eric, welcome. ERIC HOCHBERGER: Thanks, Jenny. Good to have my usual anchor spot. JENNY GUY: It is. ERIC HOCHBERGER: That's the anchor, right? Yeah, OK. JENNY GUY: Yes, anchor. You're batting cleanup, for all you sportsball fans out there. Eric, is this year happening in a bananas, like, flying by crazily to you, too? Are you in shock? ERIC HOCHBERGER: I feel like the last three years, so why make an exception to this year. Don't even-- is it May? That's great. Awesome. JENNY GUY: What does time mean anymore? It doesn't mean anything. And I also-- I've said this repeatedly. I'm sorry for people who are hearing me say it over and over again, but I feel like anything that has happened in the last three years, like significant milestones, shouldn't count. Why? I turned 40. Why? That shouldn't-- ERIC HOCHBERGER: That means I'm not turning 40? Is that the good news? JENNY GUY: That's what that means. That's what that means. It's crazy. OK, everybody. We are going to be talking about some important stuff today. We know you have questions about all of this stuff, because I certainly do. All of us at Mediavine do, so please post those questions for Eric or myself in those comments. We will get them to you. But let us without any further ado, Eric-- we usually have you here to talk specifically about Mediavine updates, but today we have really widened our scope to talk about important things that are impacting the whole blogging, content creation industry. There are some big changes on the horizon for publishers, and we wanted to break them all down. So I want to just start here at the top. I don't know, again, with anyone else, it feels like we've been talking about the deprecation of ...

    Covering your Assets in Sponsored Content with Jamie Lieberman | Mediavine On Air Episode 50

    As a content creator, there's a bunch of milestones. The first blog post you publish is huge. The first time you place ads on your site? Amazing. Finally going full time as a content creator...WOW. Then, there's the first time you land your dream sponsored content gig! Congratulations!! ...Now what? In this session from the Mediavine Influencers Conference in Austin back in 2019, attorney Jamie Lieberman of Hashtag Legal LLC gives tips to negotiate the best deal you can get, the terms of the contract you should include and what you should look out for when reading a contract. Jamie's a treasure trove on knowledge being in the business for over 15 years: you don't want to miss it! Helpful Resources Hashtag LegalNegotiating ContractsThe Art of Negotiating | Mediavine Summer of LiveGetting Legit with Legal | Designed for the Creative Mind https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77gPtobP4N4 Transcript MUSIC PLAYING: I just feel so good, good good. Just feel so good, good, good. Just feel so good. JAMIE LIEBERMAN: Y'all just had drinks. Come on. I think it's suspect that the lawyer has to talk after the drinks. I get it, it's not as exciting. We're going to do our best. So, today, we're going to talk about covering your assets. And we're specifically going to talk about sponsored content. And I'm going to talk about it from start to finish. So let me tell you about me. So I am Jamie Lieberman. I've been a lawyer for about 15 years. I run #Legal, which is, like they said, a full-service law firm. We are dedicated to making legal accessible. We work with entrepreneurs. We work with influencer marketing professionals. We work with creatives, content creators. The thread that sort of binds all of our clients is there aren't a lot of lawyers out there who speak that language. And so that is really our goal. There we go. So we're going to talk about contracts. And pretty much instantly, everyone went to sleep, right? We're going to make this as interesting as I possibly can. There's going to be some technical stuff that we talk about. I'm going to leave space for questions, because in a really weird turn of events, people always have questions for the lawyer. So if you do have questions, I will happily take them and answer them as best as I can. Although, famously, I like to answer questions with, it depends, if anyone has ever heard me speak. So I will do my best not to use that answer, but I might. You'll have to forgive me. So I want to talk about contracts from start to finish. I want to talk about the sponsored content deal. So the last time I stood on a Mediavine stage, I talked all about negotiation. And this is a really powerful topic, one that I love more than anything. I love to negotiate. And so I definitely say-- I know all the talks are up on YouTube. I'm not going to spend a lot of time talking about negotiation, but I feel like it's something worth touching on. If you want to go in-depth about negotiation, go to the Mediavine YouTube channel. My whole talk is up there. I have a whole framework. And I am going to offer you guys a chance to download my negotiation framework so you can see it. But a couple points I want to touch on before we get to the actual contract part of this talk. So the most important part of negotiation, and this will help you in your contracts, is research. So the thing that you have to pay the most attention to before you literally do anything-- I mean, before you make a phone call, because we're all going to be making phone calls after this. I know. It's OK. You're going to do it. It's going to-- yes, you are. Yes, you are. Now I know you, and now I'm going to find you. We're going to make some phone calls. So research is our first thing that we want to do. And that can be done in so many different ways. One, you all know each other. We kind of live on the internet, right? So talk to your friends. See what they've done.

    How to Stay Passionate When Your Hobby Becomes Your Job with Andy Dehnart | Mediavine On Air Episode 49

    One of the best things about being a content creator is doing what you love. But at a certain point, we all hit a wall and have to ask ourselves: How do you stay passionate when your hobby becomes your job? Digital content creation offers the opportunity to share our passions with the world, which is deeply rewarding, but just like any job it has its pitfalls. Clients don't pay on time; internet trolls leave mean comments; and sometimes, the content you work so hard on barely catches an audience. Over time it can start to feel like, well, work. Sometimes it feels overwhelming. What should you focus on? What’s the best way to divide your time? How can you tell what’s important and what’s noise? At the Mediavine Influencers Conference in Austin back in 2019, Andy Dehnart of reality blurred took the stage and tackled this very topic. In this episode of Mediavine On Air you'll hear all about Andy's strategies, techniques, and tools to help you center your focus on what matters most. Check out the episode below! Helpful Resources reality blurredThe Four Tendencies QuizElizabeth Gilbert's FrameworkBird By Bird by Ann Lamott https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ils2qcpz-J4&t=304s Transcript MUSIC PLAYING I just feel so good, good, good. I just feel so good, good, good. I just feel so good. ANDY DEHNART: Oh, welcome everybody. Thank you so much for coming to this session. I know that the competition is Pinterest, which is basically the-- I don't know. That's tough competition. So thank you all for rejecting-- [LAUGHTER] --the Pinterest cult for a moment, at least. You can go back to pinning things in the next 45 minutes. But I'm excited to talk to you today about passion in our lives, and how we work the most effectively, and how we can improve on the stuff that trips us up sometimes. My name is Andy Dehnart. I publish a site called reality blurred. As the title maybe suggests, it's all about reality television. And I've been publishing it since the summer of 2000, so 19 and a half years of blogging now. That was back in the days before there were blogs. Or we called them web logs-- two words-- as I heard someone say yesterday. And most of them were personal diaries, not really about a subject. So I've seen this industry change, and grow, and shift over time. And it's been really exciting to be part of it and really, ultimately, a beautiful experience at first to take my passion for reality television, turn that into something that I create myself, that I control. I'm kind of a control freak. So I love to make everything mine and look exactly like I want it to. And it's amazing. And then also, sometimes, making a little bit of money from it, too, and being able to discover-- and that was in the BM days, before Mediavine was the-- a little bit of money. And then now, obviously, it's become more sustainable and more than just something that can pay for itself. So yeah, all really good, and really exciting. And I think it's such a privilege to be able to do this kind of work and for all of us to be able to share what we care about with the world. That said, over the 20 years-- probably over the time that you've been doing this, however long that's been-- sometimes the storm clouds come in. Sometimes there is an occasional lightning strike or two. So my goal today is to talk through some strategies, tips, techniques, tools that have helped me weather those storms-- if you'll excuse the cliche-- over those 19 and a half years. So let's just talk first about the stumbling blocks and then get those out of the way. So these are basically the things that come up over time and that just trip us up. Maybe they're actually weeds that we need to get rid of. Maybe they're actually beautiful flowers that we think are weeds, and we still have to get over the fact that they're not just weeds that we need to pick out. So let's talk about some of those and what they've been, for me,

Hi, long lost friends. It feels like it has been about 500 years since we last saw each other. How are you all? Hello. The last time that we were all together for an episode of Teal Talk it was February and cold, and we were having a terrific conversation with two of the founders of Black People's Recipes as part of our Black History Month programming. Now March and the whole of Women's History Month has passed us by and it is already spring. The days are longer and all kinds of things are blooming from flowers to seasonal allergies. And I am suffering on the regs. But I just wanted to first say thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to join us for another episode of Mediavine's Teal Talk. I'm with you as always as your host, Jenny Guy. Our goal with all of the programming we put out at Mediavine is to provide education in service of our company mission statement, which if you don't know what that is, here it is, helping content creators build sustainable businesses. It sounds so noble. And it is noble. We're very passionate about it around here. And I have to say that our topic today falls absolutely in line with our Mediavine mission. And it's really been a dream of mine for a whole lot of years. So I will try to keep any squealing or pinching myself off camera, so y'all don't have to watch. So that's right. If you missed any of the times in the last few days that we blasted it out over social media, we have officially launched Mediavine University, where we teach content creators how to build sustainable businesses. Yes! We need an applause track. OK. Our first course of many is available for purchase right now, and the long title is What I Wish I Knew When I Started My Website About Growing Traffic. And while this one is designed for content creators earlier on in their blogging career, we have many courses coming up that will be perfect for wherever you are in your publishing journey. Our goal with this is to have to be meeting people in different places wherever they are, whether it's they're just getting started or they've been doing this for many years. In fact, part of the reason that we are here today is to ask you, our always incredible audience, what courses and instructors do you want to see on Mediavine University? So say, hey, let us know in the comments. We are taking notes. My incredible team is writing it all down. So tell us, we want to know as always. We always ask you guys what do you want to see? What are your next ideas? And that's what we're here for. So please put that in there. And now that I have been yapping away, and a lot of yapping, it is past time to introduce my wonderful guest with me today, is Heather Tullos, Mediavine's VP of Support. Heather is not only one of the featured instructors in the growing traffic course, but she and I worked together to plot the course out. So it truly would not be happening without her. So I want to welcome you Heather and thank you and the whole support team for all of your support in bringing Mediavine University to life. So thank you. They support they're good at supporting. That's what they do. Let's talk growing traffic and be you,

    Reach A Wider Audience with Multiplatform Videos with Meredith Marsh | Mediavine On Air Episode 47

    If you're on the fence about creating original video content, here's a question for you: How would you feel about 5x more audience reach? Yes, really! At Mediavine we constantly talk about the importance of video and it's time to get on board. On a former Summer of Live episode, Meredith Marsh from VidProMom sat down with Senior Director of Marketing Jenny Guy and talked all things video: she showed us how to take video content beyond YouTube by quickly repurposing it, how she got started integrating content within her own business, and what she'd do different if she was starting today. Make sure to listen to the episode below. You don't want to miss it!

It is Thursday, July 9th. How did that happen? Welcome to the Mediavine Summer of Live. I'm your host, Jenny Guy. How you doing? Tax day, day two, is next Wednesday. Where are you guys at with that, all of that? Are you already filed? Are you filing an extension? Tell us in the comments, what-- if you are all set to go with your taxes, part deux. As a year, 2020 it's been a bit of a doozy. But for today's episode, we are not going to be focusing on all of the less than positive things that 2020 is known for. We are going back to a simpler time, a time before masks and quarantine hair, although my guest today's hair is impeccable, when we kicked off the second Roaring 20s in an all-new decade of video, on an echo, video, video, video. I'll do my own. Here at Mediavine, we have never made our passion for video a secret. We had the Year of Video, which led to a Decade of Video. And, on New Year's Eve, this past year, we celebrated a brand-new Decade of Video. So we are forever encouraging, pushing, pleading with Mediavine publishers to produce more original video content so they can cash in on those industry high CPMs and keep up with advertiser demand for their pre-roll. But those digital advertising dollars are not the only reason to prioritize video creation. Anyone who spends time online-- and with social distancing, that is all of us, all the time-- knows that video is everywhere, on the social media platforms, on all web sites. So create video content, right? What do you have to lose? Record scratch. Video is hard. It can be expensive. And the vast majority of us are doing it solo, without a team of filmmakers standing by to help. So how can you make video easier and, beyond creation, make sure that you're getting the most bang for your video investment buck? Enter my guest, the VidProMom herself, Meredith Marsh. She is here to teach us how to quickly reach a wider audience with multi-platform videos, and I am here for it. Let's meet her. Meredith Marsh is the creator of the Video Pursuit Society, a membership community for bloggers who want to reach a wider audience with YouTube and social videos so they could impact more people and make more money in their online business. Don't we all want all those things? On the VidProMom YouTube channel and blog, Meredith teaches video editing tutorials and camera how-tos while your thriving side-hustle podcast listeners learn about growing an audience and earning passive income as a content creator. Meredith, welcome. Thank you for joining me. MEREDITH MARSH: Thanks for having me, Jenny. JENNY GUY: It is so good to see you. Guys, if you have questions for myself or Meredith, please post them in the comments. We will get them asked. Otherwise, you know that this is kind of special because, as with all Summer of Live 2020, we've brought over our guests and topics from our canceled-due-to-COVID Baltimore conference. So we are going to be sharing the link in the comments from Meredith's slide presentatio...

    What happens when you take seven content creators, each wildly successful with their own sites, and unite them under one website with a very important mission?  The answer is the brand new site Black People's Recipes.  On this episode of Mediavine On Air, Senior Director of Marketing Jenny guy is sitting down with two of the creators, Brandi Crawford of Stay Snatched and Tanya Harris of My Forking Life, to dish about what they've got cooking with their new venture.  We’ll hear how the seven women are blending their visions and backgrounds to empower one another and their readers, while building a new online destination for African, African-American and Caribbean cuisine.  Listen to the episode, watch the Teal Talk or read the transcript below!

Welcome one and all to another Teal Talk Tuesday in almost March. I have to take a moment and ask an important question. Am I the only one that finds it incredibly rude every single time I'm reminded that we're already almost in the third month of the year 2022? I can't be the only one. I feel assaulted every time. To be perfectly honest I was struggling like pre-COVID to accept that 2008 was not just a couple of years ago anymore. But with everything that happened in 2020 and 2021, like any hope that I had of knowing the date or not feeling just completely attacked by the date went out the window. So that's where I am. So I hope I'm not alone. Anyway, here we are on 2/22/22. It's a palindrome day. I'm your host for Teal Talk, Jenny Guy, and I am so happy that we are all here together, whatever the year or date may be. Today I am joined by two powerhouse content creators who have done something incredibly brave and maybe just like a little bit crazy. They have partnered up with five other extremely successful publishers and done an additional website. So Black People's Recipes debuted at the end of January in 2022, and we cannot think of a better way to continue with our Black History Month content than to hear the story of how it all came to be. So please join me in welcoming back to Teal Talk the wonderful Tanya Harris and for the first time Brandi Crawford. Hello, ladies. Welcome. BRANDI CRAWFORD: Hello. TANYA HARRIS: Hey. BRANDI CRAWFORD: Thank you so much. JENNY GUY: I'm going to read the very incredibly impressive bios for each of them. So Brandi Crawford is the recipe developer and food photographer behind Stay Snatched, where she shares quick and easy healthy recipes that do not compromise on taste. Very important. She's a CPA with a background in corporate finance and financial planning. So her love is real for numbers, data sets, and Excel spreadsheets. She is also the author of the Super Easy Air Fryer Cookbook and has been featured on Good Morning America, Women's Health Magazine, Shape Magazine, Parade Magazine, Essence Magazine, Country Living Magazine, Southern Living Magazine, BuzzFeed, Delish, the Kansas City Star, Kansas City Spaces, Greatest, and more.
