If you've ever felt like Facebook was working against you, you're not alone. In this week's episode of Creatives on Fire, I'm walking you through 3 powerful (and easy!) updates you can make to your Facebook page so it actually helps you grow your audience, drive traffic, and generate income. Whether you've seen a pop of activity that fizzles out fast—or you're stuck wondering why no one's engaging—this episode will walk you through what's really in your control. https://creativesonfirepodcast.com/episode206 Fix #1: Your Featured Posts These are the posts you pin to the top of your Facebook page—make sure they're working for you, not just filler content. You want featured posts that: Introduce who you are and what your page is about Offer a freebie or paid product to drive conversions Spark engagement with a high-performing or conversation-starting post Avoid pinning random “Happy Monday” posts. Instead, use these top spots to build trust, create connection, and lead people to your offers. Fix #2: Your Intro Section This one is often overlooked—but it matters. Your Facebook intro is where the algorithm pulls information about who to send to your page. Make sure your intro is: Filled with keywords that explain exactly what you offer and who you help Linked to a single call-to-action like a freebie or weekly email Short, punchy, and benefit-driven You can even use ChatGPT to help you craft it! And don't forget about the Collections section—use this to showcase affiliate links, reels, and popular posts that reinforce your brand. Fix #3: Your Content Plan Do you have a plan for your next season of Facebook content? If not, now's the time. Many creators lose momentum simply because they don't know what to post or when. And when consistency drops, so does reach. That's why I created Facebook Fuel—a weekly resource that gives you everything you need to grow with confidence. Inside Facebook Fuel, you'll get: A once-a-week email with my best Facebook growth tips Plug-and-play Canva templates you can post immediately Mindset encouragement and marketing prompts Access to my custom-trained AI assistant, built from all my past trainings, courses, and expert interviews A monthly video training showing you what's working right now on Facebook And the best part? The first 25 people who sign up will receive a personal Facebook Page audit—I'll record a custom walkthrough of your page with real-time suggestions for growth. Ready to Level Up? Facebook Fuel starts Monday, August 4th—don't wait!

Creatives fail because they overthink and delay action, don't prioritise effectively, and try to do everything alone. These habits create a cycle of inactivity, overwhelm, and burnout—but they're all fixable.OFFICIAL WEBSITE: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/TWITTER: https://twitter.com/FilmProProdPodFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/filmproproductivityCONTACT: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/contactINDIE FILM HUSTLE: https://indiefilmhustle.com/ifh-podcast-network-filmmaking-and-screenwriting/YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqo0Zld2Lm2lJDpDh3GsuZgQUOTES:You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do.

What does it really take to be a good art teacher? In this episode, I'm talking with Susan Yates about what it means to teach from lived experience rather than performative expertise. Susan and I have a heart to heart over the experience of being an instructor and being the student again. This is an amazing discussion we haven't really had on the podcast before.We talk about the pressures to have it all figured out, why artists often feel like frauds when they step into the role of teacher, what makes a great video lesson and how important it is to reconnect with your own creativity to keep your cup full. We both agree that teaching in-person makes you better overall as an art instructor and talk about specific lessons we've learned from our students over the years. This conversation is honest, gentle, and full of the reminders we all need: your art matters, your practice is valid, and the best teaching starts with being true to yourself.If you're a course creator, art educator, or thinking about stepping into teaching someday, this one will speak right to your heart.Learn More about Susan's New Course - Tiny MomentsConnect on Instagram @susanyeatesartistWatch on YouTube SusanYeatesArtistNew FREE mini masterclass: The Profitable Course Creator is an instant access workshop to help Creatives, Artists and Makers discover how to achieve financial success as a course creator without sacrificing their passion.

A couple of weeks ago, Alyssa and Ben had a conversation about the challenges of creativity in times like we're living in. Since t's the last week of our summer vacation, we thought we'd take a little break from the full-on politics and social issues of the show and take a look back at some of the great creatives we've had join us over the years. Guests include Misha Collins, Amitav Ghosh, Heather Matarazzo, and Kim Raver.

This episode has nothing to do with sport - please don't worry ;)I sat down with George Eghator and we spoke about hustle culture, the freedom of discipline, support circles and the difficulty of stepping away from collaborations.Sometimes, it's hard to take your own advice. Five years ago at an online Creative Rebels event I advised George to take his projects solo. It took me two years to finally take this podcast solo after my co host bowed-out.It was great to chat to George about his journey and I hope you'll take something away from listening.Find George on insta: https://www.instagram.com/georgeonsports/?hl=enThanks to all of the paid supporters of this podcast, who keep the train on the tracks.

This week on the podcast, I'm opening up about something I've been struggling with lately—decision fatigue. If you're a creative entrepreneur, you've likely felt the weight of too many choices, too many paths, and too little clarity. Whether you're stuck in analysis paralysis, asking everyone you know for their opinion, or overthinking every possible outcome—this episode is for you. https://creativesonfirepodcast.com/episode205 Why Decision Fatigue Is Holding You Back Let's be honest. Indecision isn't just frustrating. It's a dream killer. You may not even realize how heavy that unmade decision is until you finally make it—and feel the relief wash over you. I've been there too. In this episode, I break down the three common types of indecision-makers: The Fence-Sitter: waiting for more info, more clarity, more certainty. The Overthinker: paralyzed by possibilities and worst-case scenarios. The Info-Seeker: crowdsourcing input from everyone (even unqualified people!). And if you're like me, you might be a mix of all three. 3 Simple Solutions for Decision Fatigue 1. Decide Ahead of Time Have key pillars in your business that guide your choices. When the shiny objects pop up, you already know your direction. Think of it like meal planning—but for your business. 2. Start Small Can't decide on a big move? Make smaller, low-risk choices first to build confidence. Choose something reversible or less impactful and get used to taking action. 3. Use a Pros and Cons List—or Just PICK Yes, I literally wrote my options on slips of paper, dropped them in a cup, and prayed over the choice. It sounds simple (and maybe a little silly), but it worked. And that decision lifted a weight off my shoulders. Your Next Step If you're facing a decision right now—big or small—know that inaction can be more painful than making the wrong choice. It drains your energy, stalls your progress, and keeps your goals at arm's length. You don't have to wait until it's perfect. Just take the next step. And if you want to go deeper, grab a copy of my book, Creatives on Fire: 71 Secrets to Making Money Online, at creativesonfirepodcast.com/book. You've got this. Make the decision. Move forward.

Q-W-E-R-T-Y.They're the first six letters atop all our keyboards, from our phones to our computers, and they revolutionized communication. But their history is far from digital and, in fact, is rooted here in the Cream City.In 1868, Milwaukee native Charles Latham Sholes was just trying to solve a problem: He needed to design a machine that could produce the letters of the alphabet without the arms jamming. With help from his son-in-law, Sholes separated the right letters, creating the QWERTY system and the modern typewriter.More than 150 years later, his ingenuity is still celebrated in the city where it happened.In October, QWERTYFEST takes writers, artists and lovers of typewriters (and nostalgia) on a three-day jaunt all across the keyboard. As an owner of a vintage typewriter herself, host Kim Shine wanted to get more of the story behind QWERTYFEST, so she met the organizers at Niche Book Bar in Bronzeville as they shared the latest edition of the event's official publication, the QWERTY Quarterly.—Episode host: Kim ShineUniquely Milwaukee is sponsored by the Milwaukee Public Library and supported by our Radio Milwaukee members.

This week on Creatives on Fire, I'm sharing something real and personal—why I completely disappeared from social media for a month, what happened when I did, and why you might want to consider doing the same. This episode is a candid look at burnout, boundaries, and what it really takes to build a sustainable online business. It's rooted in insights from Chapter 4 and the Mindset Matters Bonus Chapter of my new book, Creatives on Fire: 71 Secrets to Making Money Online. https://creativesonfirepodcast.com/episode204 What Happens When You Stop Showing Up Online? Truth bomb: Out of nearly 400,000 followers, only one person noticed I was gone. Yep—after posting consistently for seven years across multiple platforms, I finally hit a wall. I took the entire month of June off. No reels, no videos, no stories, no pins, no lives. And here's what I learned: The break didn't break my business. It saved it. If You're Feeling Overwhelmed, Here's Your Permission Slip We talk so much about growing an audience, staying consistent, and showing up daily—but not at the cost of your mental health. Let this episode be your reminder: You're allowed to rest. You're allowed to reassess. You're allowed to pivot. And yes, your business will be okay. 3 Real Strategies for Sustainable Social Media If you're ready to get intentional with your online business and reduce overwhelm, here's the strategy I recommend: 1. Pick One Platform and Go All In Stop trying to be everywhere. Choose the platform where your ideal customer actually spends time, and master it. Know the ins and outs, post regularly, and let it be your home base.
