And I'm talking, these are things that you can quickly implement. And even see a result within a month, it's very easy for us to think, Oh, I have to have this many followers.

[00:00:25] I have to be doing it for this long. I have to have this many pages, this many subscribers before I can start making money. And that's simply not the case. Or if you already are making money, it may feel like, Oh, I have to do this. thing before I can start increasing my income when in fact making money and scaling can be as Simple as just a few steps and putting out an offer to your current audience No matter what the size is so If you're ready to add some extra dollars to your bank account within, let's say the next 30 to 60 days, then this is the episode for you.

[00:01:10] Welcome to the Thrive Podcast. If you're a blogger, influencer, you found this show for you. I'm Brie Pair, your host and blogging coach here to help you take your brand to the next level. At Thrive, our mission is to equip bloggers and influencers with practical tactics and strategies that can transform your brand to give you the lifestyle you want.

[00:01:31] We offer tutorials, workshops, and a supportive community to accompany you on your journey. I created the thrive podcast to give you simple, actionable steps that you can use to drive real results in your business. I also wanted to give you a peek behind the curtain of others in the industry that you look up to.

[00:01:49] Our guests share strategies they've used to grow revenue streams that are working for them and insider info you won't find anywhere else. Now let's get ready to thrive.

[00:02:02] So I have five different ideas for you. To add at least $500 to your bank account. So the first idea is to create a $10 digital product for your audience and sell it 50 times. If you have an audience of a thousand, 2000, 40,000, a hundred thousand, it doesn't matter. You can sell one item at $10. At least 50 times in a month.

[00:02:32] I fully, fully believe in you. If you need help with a marketing strategy, make sure you're inside bold, fluent, or inside shift, because we can quickly outline something for you that is going to help you get those results. Want to make it even cheaper? Idea number two, create a 5 digital product for your audience and sell it a hundred times.

[00:02:54] Now imagine that just being the baseline for you. Both of those things are going to instantly add 500 to your bank account. That's not all. You can sell it that many times within 30 days. I have full confidence in you, but now you have this product created that you can keep selling over and over and over again.

[00:03:16] Or maybe it's a seasonal product that you release and you sell it again next year and you've already got it ready to go. And you're like, Ooh, maybe I should do something for the spring and do the same thing. Right? So selling a digital product doesn't have to be this huge grand thing. It can be something really simple that is going to help your audience.

[00:03:38] I talked inside of shift with our girls about how you could take, let's say a food blogger. You could take all of your recipes and round them up into one. Easy compact document for me. You could even put it all into a Google doc and just organize it really efficiently for me and sell it to me as here.

[00:03:58] I've got 10 easy dinner recipes that are going to take you 30 minutes or less and are healthy and full of protein. Buy it here for 10. And I'm going to say immediately. Yes. Even though I know I could probably go and find those same 10 recipes on your website or on your Instagram, you're saving me the hassle of having to dig through, of scroll through, and try to find those recipes.

[00:04:25] You're just giving it to me in a really easy way that I can then go and read that recipe without any ads. Or without having to hit pause on the reel a hundred times or keep scrolling down to see what was that extra ingredient, let me, let me scroll back and see what that was again that she said, right?

[00:04:45] So it doesn't necessarily have to be something that you create from scratch. You most likely already have the content created and you just need to compile it for your audience. So, those are two ways. Item number three that you could do is find one high paying affiliate to partner with. So often, we're thinking of affiliates in the terms of LTK or Amazon or Collective Voice.

[00:05:11] And the payouts are not high, right? It takes a lot of bulk for you to sell to make 500. But there are websites that you can go on to like ShareASale. com. When you go on to ShareASale, you can search for brands there that have affiliate programs and sort them by category and commission rate. Go on there and find just one that has a higher payout for a commission rate, work with them, sign up for their program, and find something that has a payout of 20 or more.

[00:05:47] Share it with your audience. They get 25 people in your audience to buy it. There's an extra 500. And now a quick word from our sponsor. Are you ready to get paid for your creativity, have more flexibility and make a consistent monthly income without overwhelm? We see you blogging, babe, bloggers, influencers, and content creators work so hard and are not getting paid what they're worth.

[00:07:17] idea. Number four, host an online workshop at 25 and sell 20 spots. That's it. Just 20 spots. You are brilliant and have so much content and so many ideas. And again, What you could do is take something from your highest performing post. So whether that's a blog post, a reel, your YouTube video, which one has the most traffic, got the most engagement, the most comments, likes, shares.

[00:07:47] Take that idea and can you turn that into a quick workshop? It doesn't have to be a super long, hour long workshop even. It can be 20 minutes where you're teaching them and walking them through step by step how to do the thing that you just did. If you don't want to host it live, you don't have to. I understand the live jitters.

[00:08:06] You can totally just hit play on your camera on your iPhone and record it. Put it up on your, on a landing page on your website. and sell it. There you go. You only have to sell 20 spots and make 500. That's what I'm showing you is so many of these things. You don't have to sell that many, or you can sell things at a really low cost and make up money.

[00:08:34] Like I said, at the beginning, we keep putting these barriers to when we can make money and how we can make money. But in reality, sometimes we just need to get a little bit more creative and think outside of the box, get off social media, stop looking at how everybody else is making money and think, what do I have that I know how to do that?

[00:08:55] My audience loves, and let me share that in a way that can make me some money because you deserve to make money. All right. The last idea that I have for you is sponsorships and Particularly with looking at smaller niche brands. So I am really talking to the creators that are listening now that have a smaller audience, but have built some engagement, but maybe you're just not landing big brand deals yet.

[00:09:26] What you can do is go and pitch smaller, more niche brands. So maybe you have some of your favorite small mom and pop, but Local mama shops that you can really make a difference for them. Offering one to two social posts for 250 can get you to making 500 with just two deals, right? Especially during the holidays.

[00:09:49] Think about how many small businesses. Would love to get in front of your audience and at 250 you can really love on them and showcase them to your audience in a really special way. I love shopping small. We all do. And so this could be a really fun way for you to be able to help a small business and add some extra money to your bank account for the holidays.

[00:10:14] If you're not sure what to charge brands. So if you are in a place where you are working with big brands, I want you to head to thrive together. blog. com slash pricing guide. I know I've talked about it on the podcast before, but we just gave it a refresh and update. And I've even talked with even more content creators to see, Hey, are we charging enough here?

[00:10:35] Are we buying enough? Do we have the ranges correctly? And there's actually a couple spots where we increased it because we're seeing that content creators are charging even more now. So that is all the more reason for you to go and download it and make sure that you're charging the correct amount.

[00:10:50] Make sure that you are charging at least the minimum in your range. Not only that, but we then added Pinterest, email, Facebook to the pricing guide, um, as well as YouTube. So there are. So many different things, no matter what type of content you're creating, no matter what platform you're on for you to go see what should I be charging brands based on the platform that I am on.

[00:11:17] So again, thrive together. blogspot. com slash pricing guide. Otherwise we will leave it in the link below in the show notes for you to just click it and get over there. We keep finding that content creators are undercharging, which is why we're talking about it so much.
