[00:00:00] Hello friends. I have a really exciting announcement for you today, and that is the profitable blogger society has a brand new name. Before I tell you the name, I want to walk down memory lane with you because since we started thrive back in 2014, a lot has changed. So you guys want to hear some cool dates?

[00:00:29] Well, in 2010, that is when Instagram was created. Don't think too hard about any of these dates because it'll just make you feel old and sad. Or maybe that's just me. In 2011, Like to Know It was founded. 2012, Pinterest became available to the public. And in 2013, the Google Reader ended. You guys remember that?

[00:00:51] In 2014, Thrive was founded. And since it was founded in 2014, we've had the release of TikTok in 2016, Instagram Reels launched in 2020, as well as YouTube Shorts. And then in 2023, Threads launched. So a lot has happened over the years. Because of that, there's been a wave of so many new opportunities for creatives to make money online, not just through blogging.

[00:01:23] We've been around for a long time and we have a lot to offer you as a creative in terms of strategy and While our specialty has always been blogging. That's how we got our start. That's not the only thing we can help creatives monetize and so it's because of that that we Have known that we need to widen our niche just a little bit And 10 years later, we're finally ready.

[00:01:51] We've grown to a six figure company and now we have finally decided to take this next step. So, you guys, when we coach you on your niche and telling you to stick to a niche and maybe niche down a little bit in order to grow, Trust me, it pays off. So what does this mean moving forward? Bri moving forward, we will still, and always be offering strategy and coaching for bloggers, but we will also be opening the doors for those solely on social media or YouTube.

[00:02:24] You guys know we're sticking to our core. You can't put all your eggs in one social media basket. I'm not changing my strategy or my coaching advice on that because that is not a recipe for long term success. But we also know that growing a blog is a long term commitment. It takes a long time and it is so important for you to be able to make income from other avenues while we grow your page views.

[00:02:49] And we have so many ideas and so much strategy that we have tried with our clients over the years and ourselves personally to be able to help you make money as a content creator and not just a blogger. One big thing that I saw was happening and the final If you, straw if you will, happened a couple of months ago when I was having a conversation with Frankie, who is now in shift and I was DMing her and I said, Hey, how is your blog going?

[00:03:21] And she was like, well, uh, we're just, you know, kind of getting it off the ground. We are not seeing a lot of traction with it yet. But from the way that a beginning of our conversation was happening, I knew they were making money somewhere and her and her sister Shelby do this together. So that's why I say they.

[00:03:39] And so I asked, okay, well, you know, how is social media going? Like where are you guys making money? And turns out they have a very profitable Facebook group. And so I knew from that moment that I, when I refer to, and I say, how is your blog doing? I mean, your brand as a whole. So I want to know. How is your business doing?

[00:04:00] How is income coming in? You know, where are you seeing income coming in? All the things, but I was tripping myself up by asking you guys, how's your blog doing? When your blog might not be doing the best, but you're doing amazing over on YouTube or over on social media. So that was the last like aha moment for me of like, okay, we need to make a change.

[00:04:22] And so with making a change, looking across the board at how we were talking to you guys at what we were offering, the big glaring thing was the name of one of our programs, the profitable blogger society, and we didn't want anybody to feel like they were not welcome. Because they did not have a blog, they had not started a blog, or they maybe didn't have any desire to start a blog, but they were a content creator at heart and they wanted to make money as a content creator, which is who we help.

[00:04:52] So we knew we had to make a change. So without further ado, would you like to know the new name? It took us a while. But we finally came up with a name that we think encompasses exactly the feeling that we want you guys to have. The empowerment that we're always wanting to give you guys in one name, and that name is Bold Fluence.
