If you've been building an online business for a while, you might be feeling this shift too. Things are still working, you can still make money online, but something about how your online business runs no longer feels sustainable. More and more, I've been drawn toward evergreen content marketing, a simpler lifestyle business strategy, and podcast marketing for entrepreneurs as a different way forward.In this episode, I'm sharing what's been changing for me behind the scenes. After experiencing burnout more than once, I made a conscious decision to stop rebuilding my online business inside the same systems that caused it.For the last decade, we were taught to build through visibility, performance, and constant output. And for a long time, that worked. It helped us grow and build what looked like a successful business.But it also came with a cost.This isn't about fixing burnout with another tactic. It's about stepping back and asking whether the way we've been taught to build is actually sustainable long-term.I talk about what it's been like to step away from constant visibility and how that shift has created more space, more quiet, and honestly… a bit of discomfort at first. Because when your online business has been built around noise, learning to trust the quiet takes time.For me, that's meant leaning into podcasting, exploring how to start a podcast for business, and building systems that support long-term growth instead of daily performance.Because the goal isn't just to build a business that works.It's to build one that gives you time, energy, and real freedom from social media—a business that actually supports your life.If you've been feeling the pull to do things differently, this episode will meet you there.Ready to Turn Your Podcast Into a Revenue Stream?If you want to build a business that works when you're offline, your podcast can become one of the most powerful evergreen marketing tools in your business.Inside my Podcast Growth Strategy, I'll help you optimize your podcast for search so it attracts the right listeners, grows your audience, and turns your show into a discoverable marketing asset that keeps working long after you hit publish.This is a done-for-you strategy designed to help you grow your show, increase your online visibility, and create income without social media.

I can make money online and regain my following because I help people start over for a living.    I have two clients who have decided to start over recently. One got laid off, and the other wanted to open a new business. It's scary, the first step is always scary, but it can't hold you back. And by having a plan, you can turn that fear into the drive you need to start making money online in 2026.    In this week's episode, we're talking about how I'd make money online if I had to start over. We're talking about starting over completely from scratch - no followers, no business, no trust, no reputation. Starting over is a blessing, and this week, I'm going to teach you how to start over on the right foot. Tune in to hear all about how to make money online, how to create financial flexibility, and how I'd build a brand from scratch in 2026.  Resources Mentioned: Click here to claim your Manifest Your Marca bot!   Follow Erika on: Instagram @‌theerikacruzTikTok @‌theerikacruzLinkedIn Website: http://www.theerikacruz.com How to work with Erika: Sign up to join the free training, How I Manifested My First 10K Followers by Building a Personal Brand, on Monday, March 9th  Join the waitlist for the Courage Driven Latina program here!

Think you need thousands of followers to make money online? Think again.In this episode of The Aspiring Solopreneur, Carly Ries and Joe Rando sit down with creator and educator Megan Spencer, who built a thriving business helping everyday people earn online, without chasing viral fame or building massive audiences.Megan shares how user-generated content (UGC), freelancing, and other creator economy opportunities allow solopreneurs and side-hustlers to start earning quickly, sometimes within their first week. Even better? Many of these opportunities are introvert-friendly, require no followers, and can be done quietly from home.You'll hear how Megan went from experimenting with online side hustles to building her “anti-influencer method,” which teaches creators to focus on systems, skills, and confidence instead of popularity.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy waiting for everything to be perfect keeps so many aspiring solopreneurs stuckHow UGC (user-generated content) allows people to get paid without having followersThe mindset shift introverted entrepreneurs need before starting onlineWhy Megan recommends not niching down too earlyThe platforms where brands are actively hiring everyday creatorsHow batching content prevents burnout and overwhelmThe difference between income streams like UGC, Amazon influencer commissions, freelancing, and TikTok ShopWhy starting with one income stream can lead to faster successThe underrated content strategy that accidentally made Megan $50,000 from one TikTok videoHow small “quick wins” help build the confidence solopreneurs need to keep goingKey TakeawaysMany people believe online success requires a big audience, expensive equipment, or a perfectly curated life. Megan argues the opposite: brands often want authentic, everyday creators, not polished influencers.By starting small, learning content skills, and building confidence through quick wins, solopreneurs can begin creating income streams online faster than they might expect.As Megan reminds us in this episode: “Slow growth is still growth.”Resources & LinksLearn more about Megan and her work:Website: megthecreator.comInstagram: megthecreator_ TikTok: @megthecreator_Enjoying the Podcast?If you enjoyed this episode of The Aspiring Solopreneur:Leave a 5-star review on Apple PodcastsFollow the show so you never miss an episodeShare this episode with a fellow solopreneur who wants to earn online without chasing followers

If you want to make money online with your podcast, there is one mistake that will quietly sabotage your results before you ever record episode one.In this second episode of our five-part workshop series, This Is How to Make Podcasting Your Number One Revenue Generator in Your Online Business, I'm breaking down the real reason most podcasts do not generate revenue — even when the host is smart, experienced, and consistent.The mistake is following podcasting advice that was created by creators, for creators.Most mainstream podcast marketing advice is built around growing downloads, building community, and “monetizing later.” The monetization plan becomes something you figure out once the audience grows. But that strategy was designed for content creators who make money through ads, sponsorships, and volume.It was not designed for business owners.When you follow that model, you accidentally put your monetization plan at the end of your strategy instead of at the beginning of your funnel. And if you are trying to make money online as a business owner, that is backwards.In this episode, I explain why that advice does not work when your goal is evergreen sales and sustainable revenue. I walk you through why starting with content instead of a buyer-ready offer leads to burnout, inconsistent income, and a show that feels busy but unprofitable.If you want to grow your online business, your podcast cannot be built like a media brand. It needs to be built like a sales system.That means before you start a podcast for business, you need clarity on your buyer-ready offer. You need to know what transformation you are selling. You need to design your episodes around moving listeners toward a decision. And you need to build your evergreen marketing strategy from the offer outward — not the other way around.In this training, I show you how I flip the traditional model. Instead of asking, “How do I grow my podcast?” we start with, “What am I selling?” Instead of building an audience and hoping it converts, we design the podcast to support conversion from day one.This is how you make money online without chasing downloads, build podcast marketing strategies that attracts buyers instead of browsers, and avoid becoming another business owner who started a business for freedom but accidentally built a full-time content job instead.If you are serious about using podcasting to make money online and create predictable revenue, this episode will shift how you think about your entire strategy.Again, this is the second episode in our five-part workshop series, This Is How to Make Podcasting Your Number One Revenue Generator in Your Online Business. Each episode builds intentionally, so if you missed the first one, go back and listen.And don't forget to download the companion workbook at janditchfield.co/workbook.

Welcome to the era of choosing personal optimization over "productivity" to make more money while doing less.  Truth is, most high achievers are unknowingly running on digital stress and fleeting dopamine hits - this cycle actually drains the very energy needed to build your legacy. This episode is the pattern interrupt you've been looking for to train your nervous system to operate from a place of deep connection rather than frantic "to-do list" pressure. Press play to say goodbye to depletion so you can show up at the exact frequency that attracts success and sanity. PS. Toss out the to-do list and reclaim your brain

If you're trying to grow an online business in 2026 and feel like you need to be everywhere to stay relevant, this episode is your permission to stop. Running an online business does not require you to show up on every platform, chase every algorithm, or constantly reinvent your marketing strategy. In fact, doing that is exactly what keeps most business owners stuck, scattered, and burned out.In this episode, I'm reframing what it actually means to grow your online business this year. Because success in an online business isn't about reach — it's about depth. It's about choosing one platform where you can build trust, strengthen authority, and position yourself in front of people who are already in a buying mindset.There's a belief floating around that in order to make money online, you have to dominate Instagram, show up on LinkedIn, publish YouTube videos, email consistently, and somehow also maintain a presence everywhere else. But trying to market online across five different channels doesn't increase revenue — it dilutes focus.Instead, I want you thinking about where real purchasing decisions happen. Where can you create long-form trust? Where can you build authority in a way that compounds? Where can your content move people toward working with you instead of just consuming you?For many business owners, the answer isn't another short-form platform. It's something deeper. It might be choosing to start a podcast for business and using that as your primary trust-building engine. It might mean deciding to start a podcast as a strategic move instead of another creative project. It might mean leaning into one platform and mastering it instead of spreading yourself thin across five.This episode will challenge the idea that more visibility automatically equals more income. It will help you see why trying to grow your online business by being everywhere often slows you down instead of speeding you up. And it sets the stage for the next conversation we're having — the mistake most entrepreneurs make when they create content for reach instead of for buyers.If you want to market online in a way that actually supports your business goals, you need a strategy that prioritizes alignment over noise. You need a platform that builds trust instead of just attention. And you need clarity on what you're trying to sell and who you're trying to attract.Your online business doesn't need more platforms. It needs more intention.Press play, and let's talk about how to stop wasting time on the wrong places — and start focusing on the one that can actually move the needle.Take what you need, and go run your damn business.Ready to turn your podcast into a real business asset?
