    How Erin Turned Her Passion for BAKING into an Audience of 1 Million & the OPTION to Not Work for Months at a Time

    Turning a hobby for baking into a wildly successful online empire? Mmmm, sounds delicious 🤤

    Today, I talk with Erin, the founder of Cloudy Kitchen - a baking blog that has seen her channel her passion for creating delicious treats, scientific mind, and online marketing genius into a crazy successful business that works even when she doesn't. From baking at home to fill a homesickness void and a desire to have her own thing, she's built a mammoth following across social media that tops 1 Million, and tapped into the ultimate lifestyle business sweet spot of working when, how, and on what she chooses. 

    Erin and I go DEEP in this no-holds-barred conversation, covering everything from dealing with online haters to what it takes to create such a magnetic brand. Plus all of the mindset shifts it takes to build and scale a business of this size as a fulltime solopreneur.

     Grab a donut, and let's dive into this tasty chat! 🍩

    I’d love your feedback! Send me a message on Instagram @badassempires_ and tell me which episodes you love the most here on Badass Empires so I can keep the good stuff coming!

    How Much Do I “Give Away” for Free? Free Content vs. Your Paid Offer

    How Much Do I “Give Away” for Free? Free Content vs. Your Paid Offer

    “But if I give away too much for free, people won’t want to pay me, right?!” Wrong.

    When it comes to sharing free content, my rule is to be as generous as you can. Your free content is your chance to shine, build trust, stand out in your niche, and show people why you’re 100% worth their investment in working with you.

    I mean… if your free content is *this* good, imagine how insane your PAID offers are.

    Today, I’m breaking down how to differentiate what to share in your free content vs your paid offers, and how to lead people from one to the other. More visibility. More income. A bigger empire? Yes, please!

Actionable advice

Rosie is the real deal! She’s had an accomplished career working for some of the top companies in the world. I’ve followed her for some time and the key differentiator for me is she gives advice that helps you stand out!

actionable advice with no fluff

I’ve been following Rosie for awhile- her cute accent got me hooked but her content kept me around. She shares everything that has worked (and not worked) for building her biz in a clear step by step way with no fluff or silly vague gimmicks. She’s clearly forging her own path and not trying to follow the same path/system every other hot entrepreneur of the moment is preaching. I’ve learned and implemented systems that have helped me organize and batch strategic and valuable content in a way that both grows my audience and builds revenue. Rosie is my entrepreneurial wing woman.
