If launching your offer feels like sprinting uphill in heels, this episode is your breath of fresh air. I'm walking you through my 3T evergreen sales strategy, the same one I teach inside Parade, and the exact approach I use to sell my offers all year round without burning out or disappearing in between launches.This isn't a post-once-and-hope strategy. It's a simple but powerful framework that helps you show up consistently, speak to the right buyers, and build real momentum. Inside this episode, I'm breaking down how to Tease, Tempt, and Turn your audience, three distinct sales phases that make your content feel strategic, not shouty.You'll hear exactly what to say (and when), why most people quit before the conversion phase even begins, and how to bring natural urgency into your sales rhythm without feeling icky. Whether you're prepping for your next launch or just want to keep selling quietly in the background, this 3T method is your new go-to.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy selling your offer doesn't have to mean constant launchingWhat the 3T Strategy is and how to apply it to your evergreen contentHow to create intrigue and anticipation without sounding vague or salesyThe role of opinion-sharing and urgency in the conversion phaseWhy people stop too early and what to do instead to actually get sales "Selling doesn't have to feel random or forced. You just need a rhythm that makes your offer easy to talk about."And if you want support in action, the next live round of Parade kicks off on June 30th. We'll be selling our offers together, four times a day, for 14 days. It's fun, focused, and gives you all the accountability you need to start showing up like the expert you are.

Jessica Malaty Rivera is an infectious disease epidemiologist and science communicator renowned for making complex public health information accessible, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. While initially premed at USC, she pivoted to studying health promotion and disease prevention, and worked in the nonprofit sector after college. She was later recruited to research emerging biological threats at Georgetown University and simultaneously decided to pursue a master's degree there in biohazardous threat agents and emerging infectious diseases. While she's always loved science, she began to realize that where she truly excelled was in “speaking science.” And the deeper Rivera got into infectious disease epidemiology—whether through work or academia—the more she realized how critical the communications aspect of science was to public health. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, she joined The Atlantic to lend her expertise to the COVID Tracking Project to provide publicly available, comprehensive data on COVID-19 cases in real time. She then began using Instagram to explain and interpret global health news, unexpectedly gaining a large following for her easy-to-understand information. Over the past five years, she has grown her platform, launched a Substack, and is currently completing a Doctorate in Public Health from Johns Hopkins University, all while remaining dedicated to science facts and public health literacy.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
