If your traffic is growing but your revenue isn’t, the problem probably isn’t your pageviews—it’s your funnel. In this episode, we’re walking you through a simple, no-dashboard-needed approach to find the biggest monetization leak on your site. No tools. No spreadsheets. Just real talk about how people move through your content—and where they’re silently dropping off. You’ll learn how to spot the break, choose one fix that actually matters, and finally start turning traffic into income that feels consistent and intentional.

This isn’t about doing more. It’s about tightening what’s already working—so your blog starts pulling its weight.

Most people think a brand is just a logo or a color palette—but that’s surface‑level noise. Your brand is how the world perceives you, what you stand for, and the strategy behind how you show up and connect with your audience. In this episode, we sit down with Katie Trant to break down what a brand actually is (and what it isn’t), why a personal brand still counts as a real brand, and why any brand—especially a personal one—needs intentional strategy to work effectively. Whether you’re just starting or scaling, this is your wake‑up call to stop winging it and start branding with purpose.
