The Smart Passive Income Online Business and Blogging Podcast

#955 I'm sure you'll agree, running a business is not easy. Most of all, it's difficult to get out of your head and just start selling without feeling salesy. But boo, even if all we want is to help and serve our people, we have a responsibility to sell. We might not be in business for long if we don't. So why aren't you as excited as I am about Black Friday, the biggest sales day of the year? Heck, you might not even have anything planned yet. And if it's because everyone else is doing it and you don't want to add to the noise, listen in on this episode! I'll share the mindset shifts you likely need to make to show up and set yourself up for success. This is all based on the internal dialogue I always have to overcome to give my boldest ideas a real chance, so tune in! Show notes and more at SmartPassiveIncome.com/session955.

MM #006 Getting paid to stay overnight at casinos, eat at fancy restaurants, and tour apartments sounds too good to be true. That's why many ads that highlight the perks of mystery shopping gigs can feel scammy. But becoming a mystery shopper is a perfectly legitimate side hustle. Mercedes Eckert proves it! This woman is fun. This woman is savvy. This woman can teach us a lot about starting small and scaling big. Her first mystery shop was a ten-minute stop at a gas station back in 2013. Now, she’s trained over 25,000 mystery shoppers and hosts a two-day conference in Vegas, complete with a snazzy gala and awards ceremony! If you're not sure how this works, listen in! Mercedes breaks it all down, from trying out a few easy shops to earning a solid monthly income. We also dive into her business and community, her powerful webinar funnel, the pros and cons of running Meta ads, and overcoming the fear of charging your worth!

AL #023 Courses are dead, allegedly. They're too expensive, and no one's buying. So why do I still see people making hundreds of thousands, even millions, selling their courses? And no, you don't need to water down your offer or make it cheaper. You just need to get people to take real action and deliver tangible results! On today's AskLiz episode, we're tackling a question along these lines coming from Hugh Comerford. His book, The Hümmo Method, is out now, and he's also selling a high-ticket course for people who want to learn more from him. Is the 10x price jump between these two offers too much of a stretch? Does he need something in the middle to get more buyers? My answer is no! As a general rule of thumb, I don't want you creating products no one is asking for. So tune in to find out what to focus on instead! Show notes and more at SmartPassiveIncome.com/al023.

MM #005 Many of us try to act like the sage on the stage or appear super buttoned up and polished. We worry our content's not good enough because it doesn't look professional. But the reality is that the more we aim for picture-perfect, the less relatable we become. And then we wonder why our audience isn't growing! Today's Member Monday episode proves that the real path to building a creator business is paved with transparency and persistence. We'll hear from Neha Nautiyal, who treats every failure as just another data point. And this is the exact mindset that led to the viral moment that changed everything for her Neha also breaks down her awesome Instagram strategy. As you'll hear, she's all about balance and posting when inspiration strikes, instead of forcing daily content. And with ManyChat and Kit, she has her list building on auto! Listen in!
