    91 | Your platform is not the problem, stop platform hopping

    When a digital product isn’t selling the way you hoped, it’s very tempting to blame the platform. Maybe your checkout isn’t fancy enough... Maybe your sales page builder is too simple. Maybe if you moved everything to a new “all-in-one” platform… the sales would finally start flowing. But is that actually the problem? In this episode, we’re talking about a very common “disease” among digital product creators: platform hopping. After working behind the scenes with course creators for more than a decade, I’ve seen it happen again and again. When things feel stuck, the first instinct is often to switch tools instead of looking at the bigger picture. And yes… I’ll admit it. I’ve done it too. Inside the episode, we talk about: Why changing platforms rarely fixes slow salesThe real reason creators get excited about moving their products When switching platforms actually does make senseWhy simple checkout pages still convert when the offer is rightWhat actually drives digital product sales (hint: it’s not your platform) At the end of the day, your platform is just a tool. Your message, marketing, and the way you show up for your product will almost always matter far more than the software you’re using. So if you’ve been thinking about moving your course or digital product to a new platform, this episode will help you pause, reflect, and decide whether that move is truly strategic… or just a shiny new distraction. Tune in before you start migrating everything. Your future self might thank you.

    90 | Why your course isn't selling like it used to

    Today we’re diving into something that’s been quietly shifting for a while now: marketing digital products in a completely different landscape than the one we had a few years ago. If your launches feel flatter… If your webinars aren’t converting like they used to… If your email campaigns are getting polite silence instead of sales… You’re not imagining it. In this episode, I’m breaking down what has changed in the marketing side of digital products and courses, and why it’s often not the product that’s the problem. It’s the strategy around it. We talk about: Why the classic webinar funnel doesn’t hit the same anymoreThe drop in live attendance and urgencyHow buyer awareness has changed over the yearsWhy email launches feel less powerful than they used toWhy quick-fix ad promises rarely match real resultsThe growing importance of consistent content and videoInfluencer collaborations and affiliate programs as smarter marketing playsHow to think creatively instead of relying on outdated formulas The online space moves fast. What worked in 2016, 2020, or even 2022 won’t automatically carry you through 2026. But that doesn’t mean your business is broken. It just means your marketing needs to evolve. If you’ve been feeling frustrated with slower launches or declining conversion rates, this conversation will help you zoom out, rethink your approach, and experiment with strategies that match today’s buyer behavior. Your product might still be solid. It’s the ecosystem around it that needs a refresh. Tune in and let’s rethink your marketing strategy together.

    89 | What is and what isn't working in online business in 2026

    The online business world has changed. A lot. The strategies that worked during peak course-era and post-COVID online growth just don’t hit the same anymore. Buyer behavior has shifted. AI is everywhere. Attention is fragmented. And many creators are quietly pivoting. So what’s actually working now? And more importantly, what will still work in 2026 and beyond? In this episode, I’m breaking down: Why digital courses aren’t as easy to sell as they once wereWhy people are craving connection more than content dumpsThe rise of community-based offers, both online and offlineThe ongoing importance of content and how to monetize it strategicallyWhy done-for-you services and freelancing remain underrated income paths If you’ve been wondering whether you should still create a course… pivot to community… focus on content… or explore service-based offers instead, this episode will help you zoom out and think long term. Digital products are not dead. But the way we sell, package, and support them has evolved. This is about building something sustainable in a landscape that no longer rewards quick, generic offers. It’s about leaning into connection, positioning, and offers that reflect where the market is actually heading. And if you need a reminder that sometimes even switching your desk around can unlock new creative energy… you’ll get that too. Tune in and let’s talk about building smarter for 2026.

    88 | Can ChatGPT make you rich? The truth about AI and digital products

    Can you use ChatGPT to write an ebook, build an online course, package it up, and start making serious money? Technically… yes. Realistically? It’s not that simple. In this episode, I’m breaking down the truth about using AI tools like ChatGPT to create digital products and whether that path can actually build a profitable, sustainable business. This is not an anti-AI rant. I use AI. I see the value. It can save time, organize ideas, generate outlines, draft scripts, and support the creation process in powerful ways. We’ll talk about: Why fully AI-generated ebooks and courses rarely stand outThe problem with “generic” information in a post-ChatGPT worldWhat happens when your audience realizes they could’ve asked the same questions themselvesThe role of trust and marketing in selling AI-assisted productsWhere AI is genuinely helpful in product creationWhy your frameworks, perspective, and lived experience matter more than everWhether it’s still possible to make money with digital products in today’s landscape If you’re considering building a digital product, or you’ve been tempted by the idea of letting AI do all the heavy lifting, this episode will help you think more strategically. AI can absolutely support your business but it won’t replace your voice, your thinking, or your credibility.

    87 | Life update: We finally got the house! + Millenial career crisis moment

    In this episode, I’m sharing a very real life and business update after an unplanned break from the podcast. This pause wasn’t planned. Life simply happened. I talk about what’s been going on behind the scenes over the past couple of months, including buying a house in Spain, navigating a chaotic and emotionally draining mortgage process, and moving under pressure. Alongside the life update, I also open up about where my mindset is right now when it comes to business, online courses, and digital products. After more than a decade in this space, I’m finding myself questioning direction, craving change, and sitting with uncertainty instead of forcing clarity before it’s ready. This is my check-in with you ❤️ If you’ve been navigating big transitions, feeling unsure about your next move, or quietly stepping back without a clear explanation, this one will feel familiar.

    86 | Is creating a self-hosted Wordpress website the way to go? Pros and cons to consider

    In today’s episode, I’m bringing back a conversation the online world seems to have quietly abandoned: the value of a self-hosted WordPress website. With so many fast, all-in-one platforms promising instant businesses, it’s easy to forget that there’s another option that offers far more freedom, stability, and long-term sustainability. I’m sharing my perspective as someone who started out as a website designer and has been building online businesses since 2015. We’ll talk honestly about why WordPress isn’t the easiest option, why that learning curve can actually be worth it, and how it compares to platforms like Kajabi, Squarespace, and other popular all-in-one tools. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why self-hosted WordPress websites are often more cost-effective long termHow WordPress gives you full control over design, speed, and SEOThe freedom that comes from not being locked into one platformHow WordPress fits into a flexible tech stack alongside email marketing and product platformsWhat happens to your online presence if you pause or pivot your business This isn’t about saying other platforms are “bad.” It’s about understanding your options and choosing a setup that supports your business not just now, but years down the line. If you’re thinking about building something more sustainable, preparing for future pivots, or simply tired of paying monthly fees for tools you’re not fully using, this episode will give you a lot to think about.

    85 | Is this the end for digital products? The downside of 2025

    This episode is a real talk about something many online business owners are quietly struggling with right now: sales are down, momentum feels off, and the strategies that used to work suddenly don’t seem to land anymore. Inspired by recent client conversations and my own observations, I’m unpacking what’s actually happening in the digital product and online business landscape in 2025. If you’ve built the funnels, created the products, tried the ads, shown up online… and still feel like things are slipping, this episode is for you We’ll talk about: Why this year feels so different compared to COVID years and even 2023The collective online fatigue nobody talks aboutWhat to do when you’ve already “tried everything”Why persistence doesn’t have to mean burnoutHow simplifying, scaling back, or temporarily shifting your offers can actually keep you afloat This isn’t an episode about hustling harder or reinventing your entire business overnight. It’s about taking a step back, getting honest about where you are, and finding the simplest, most realistic way to keep your business running during a slower season. If you’ve been questioning your business, your offers, or even yourself lately, I want you to know this: you’re not alone, and there is a way forward that doesn’t require burning everything to the ground.
