    Dark Social: What is it + How it’s Affecting Your Business

    Let’s talk about the mysterious world of dark social—and no, it’s not some secret, underground social network (though that sounds way cooler than it actually is). It’s the stuff happening in the background, like when someone texts your TikTok video to their friend or shares your latest blog post in a DM. As a business owner, this is big because it means not all engagement is trackable by the usual likes and comments. In this episode, I break down what dark social actually is, why it’s on the rise (hello, Gen Z!), and how it might be affecting your social metrics. You might be getting more engagement than you think—just not where you can see it. And don't worry, I’ll give you some practical tips to actually use this trend without pulling your hair out. Here’s what’s in this episode:  what the heck dark social even is (and why you’ve probably been a part of it) why your Instagram likes might be down, but that doesn’t mean no one’s watching how brands are leaning into dark social with private communities and message-based sharing practical tips to adapt your content strategy for this private-sharing era (without doing the most)   This Episode Was Made Possible By: Riverside All-in-One Podcast & Video Platform Visit Riverside and use the code DREA to get 15% off any Riverside individual plan.

    Growing a Newsletter Without Social Media: Building Sustainable Success with Jessica Lackey

    Ready to build your email list without becoming glued to Instagram? (Yes, it’s possible!) In this episode, I chat with business strategist and systems guru Jessica Lackey about how she grew her newsletter without the social media hustle. Yep, you heard that right—no reels, no hashtags, just a beautifully crafted newsletter that people actually want to read. 😱 Tune in for: How Jessica built a thriving newsletter without social media and why email might just be the secret sauce to sustainable business growth. Her genius strategy for making sales without turning every email into a “BUY NOW” pitch. Spoiler: It’s all about building real relationships over time. The importance of business systems (minus the overwhelm). Jessica breaks down how to create a structure that works for you—not against you. We’re talking sustainable, repeatable processes that make your life easier. Why podcast guesting > social media for reaching new audiences. If you’re tired of dancing for the algorithm, this one’s for you. How she turns her newsletter into a product and delivers so much value it practically sells itself (no spammy vibes here). Jessica’s approach is a breath of fresh air for anyone who’s over the "always-on" grind. And while you’ll learn some pretty smart tactics, you’ll also leave with a reminder that marketing doesn’t have to be a high-speed chase—it can be cozy, slow, and still wildly effective.   This Episode Was Made Possible By: Riverside All-in-One Podcast & Video Platform Visit Riverside and use the code DREA to get 15% off any Riverside individual plan.
