On Rodric's launch day for his latest #1 best-selling book, The Magnet, The Method & The Machine, he and Aurora Winter jam on books as lead magnets, why early reviews matter, and how to pick (and win) Amazon categories. Aurora shares her “push/pull” framework for finally finishing your book, the niche-first logic behind standout messaging, and why AI makes your human story more valuable, not less. They swap tactics (Publisher Rocket, K-lytics, BookFunnel), talk legacy vs. perfectionism, and dig into the kind of uncomfortable conversations that deepen relationships—and your writing. If you've got a book in you (or a business that needs one), this one's a blueprint for momentum you can use today.Highlights & takeawaysEarly reviews are oxygen for launches—line them up ~30 days ahead and publish Day 1.Use tools to choose categories, don't guess: Publisher Rocket (easy) and K-lytics (depth).Books are scalable service: help millions while serving a small, high-touch client roster.“Double down on being human in the age of AI”—your story is the differentiator.Niche > general: the “million-dollar message” needs one person's ears to perk up.Relationship depth = # of uncomfortable conversations you're willing to have.Notable quotes“LLMs make creation easier—but they're average. Your personal story is where the gold is.”“The depth of a relationship is measured by the number of uncomfortable conversations we're willing to have.”“Double down on being human in the age of AI—that's where the joy is.”Timestamps0:00 Cold open: Rodric's world tour + launch day vibes.1:10 Why reviews in the first 24 hours really matter—and how to get them.3:40 Categories that you can realistically win (and why that #1 tag matters).7:00 The viral video that sparked the book (3 Laws & 9 Levers).8:10 AI vs. authenticity: information vs. inspiration.15:55 Aurora's “push/pull” method to finish your book.17:45 Niche, message, and the 80/20 of communication.27:15 Strategic Basics: Aurora's weekly YouTube insights.28:20 Wisdom, setbacks, and silver linings.34:30 Why Rodric wrote The Magnet, The Method & The Machine.Guest linksAurora Winter's Media Page: This has recent interviews and general media information: https://www.aurorawinter.com/media/Aurora Winter's PR Photos & Book Covers: https://www.aurorawinter.com/prphotos/One Sheet with Sample Questions: https://aurorawinter.com/onesheet/Aurora-Winter-Impact-One-Sheet.pdfTurn Words Into Wealth Gift eBook for you: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/7o54im0y52Magic, Mystery and the Multiverse Gift eBook for you: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/bd91o9fg2zGift for Your Audience - Includes your Turn Words-to-Wealth starter library and a video masterclass on how to attract capital, clients, and media coverage.: https://turnwordsintowealth.comAurora Winter Website: https://www.aurorawinter.comSame Page...

Ever wondered how someone could make half their annual photography income in just one week? That's exactly what happened to Megan O'Hare when she ran her first strategic Black Friday promotion.In this episode, I'm sitting down with Megan O'Hare, the powerhouse behind The Photo Project—a course that teaches moms how to organize their digital photo chaos. We're diving deep into how Megan went from making around $7,000 on her first attempt at a Black Friday sale to crushing it with $51,000 the following year using my Black Friday in a Box strategy. She's pulling back the curtain on exactly how she structures her promotions, why her done-for-you service sells out twice a year, and how she's built a business model that allows her to barely touch social media while still growing her email list and revenue consistently.This conversation is packed with strategy gold, including why Megan limits her high-ticket one-to-one offers to just two sale periods per year, how she's made certain products available ONLY during Black Friday (talk about built-in urgency!), and why 95% of her done-for-you clients are people who already bought her course but decided they'd rather just have her do it.What you'll learn:How Megan went from $7K to $51K in Black Friday sales by implementing a strategic promotion planThe exact structure of her 5-day Black Friday sale and why limiting availability creates massive demandWhy her done-for-you service clients are almost always previous course buyers (and what that means for YOUR business model)How she runs a summer sale using the same Black Friday strategy for an additional revenue boostHer approach to making certain products available ONLY during promotional periods to drive urgencyWhy lead generation ads are her "cost of doing business" and how she thinks about ROI differentlyThe truth about her email marketing strategy (spoiler: it's not perfect, and that's okay)How she's structured pricing for her done-for-you service to avoid awkward money conversationsResources Mentioned in this episode:Black Friday in a Box: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/black-friday The Photo Project: https://thephotoproject.co/ Megan O'Hare on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oharephotos/ Your Next Steps:Work with Me: https://www.gemmabonhamcarter.com/programsWhat I Use to Run My 7-Figure Business: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/toolsConnect on Social: https://www.instagram.com/gemma.bonhamcarter Support the show

Have an idea or tip? Send us a text!What if the best photo you take is just the start? The Dead Pixels Society sits down with Heath Lassiter, founder of Niche AI, to explore how volume imaging is transforming from prints and proofs into living, brand‑ready media—think fusion assets mapped to body parts, refined face replacement, and motion‑from‑stills that parents and guests can't wait to share. Lassiter's roots at Express Digital and deep work across schools, theme parks, events, and cruises give him a rare, pragmatic lens on what actually scales: fast inference, lower COGS, consistent brand aesthetics, and real privacy compliance.Lassiter unpacks Niche AI's core offerings—precision cutouts, fusion scenes, and immersive face swaps—built to operate at enterprise speed and quality. The conversation gets tactical on GPU throughput, cost curves, and why off‑the‑shelf AI often produces generic looks or drifts from target demographics. Heath explains how his team blends proprietary models with in‑house design to nail placement, mood, and age‑appropriate results, and how that approach translates into higher conversions and repeat purchases across e‑commerce.Schools get a spotlight: extend fall capture slightly and replace the operationally heavy spring shoot with AI-driven products—seasonal themes, cap‑and‑gown automation (colors, tassels, even hands and diplomas when needed), and short motion clips for social. We cover data handling, GDPR, API vs on‑prem, and why once‑reluctant enterprises are now opening the door to responsible generative and non‑generative workflows.

My newsletter: https://simonowens.substack.com/   By the time Eric Coffie launched his YouTube channel in 2016, he was already one of the most successful federal government contractors in the US and employed an entire team that specialized in erecting steel buildings. The YouTube channel came out of his frustration of having to repeat the same advice over and over again to those wanting to break into the industry; he figured he could just record some video explainers and send them to people.   But the success of the channel led to him expanding into podcasts, and then before he knew it Eric was operating an entire media company that spanned across video, podcasts, online courses, coaching, events, and even a paid community.   In a recent interview, Eric explained how he found an audience by going extremely niche and why he wants to shut down most of his media revenue streams so he can regrow his contracting business.

In today's episode, we're going to pull back that curtain on podcasting best practices. And some of these conventions are grounded in logic and proven results, and others might just be myths that we're just blindly following. I explain why I think these are legit, and explain why some of these are not accurate. As always your audience may be different than mine, but based on 20 years in podcasting, these are the just some of the best practices I teach at the School of Podcasting.Why is Recording a Test Episode before launch a Podcast Best Practice?Authors have rough draftsAthletes have pre-seasonActors have dress rehearsalWhen you publish the first thing you record, you are essentially publishing a "rough draft." Anytime you do something for the first time, it's not as good as the second.Why is Defining a Clear Topic or Niche a Podcast Best Practice?It makes it easy to create content. If I'm making dinner for a bunch of vegans, I know what I can make and what I couldn't.This makes it easier to market. Now instead of marketing to Vegans, Carnivore, or those who are Glucose Intolerant, etc.You can also lump this in with the advice of "Know your audience."What appears is a downside may be an upside: a smaller but more loyal audience.Why Is Getting to the Topic ASAP a Podcast Best Practice?Do you have a ton of free time?Look at Netflix, when an episode is over it give you an option to skip the credits and go to the next episode. When you go to the next episode, it prompts you to skip the intro. This leads me to believe it is best to get to the content asap.Why is Knowing Why Your Are Podcasting a Podcast Best Practice?When a podcaster doesn't get the result they had hoped to receive, they quit (often before their 10th episode).If you were hired by a company to earn more money, and then they paid you the same (or less) would you stay?Why is Engaging with Audience and Creating a Community a Podcast Best Practice?The previous best practice was "Get to know your audience." This is how you get to know them.This can be on social, email, anyway you can interact with your audience you should do it.Why is Prioritizing Sound Quality a Podcast Best Practice?You want it to be EASY to consume your content. You don't want the audience to strain to consume your content. Reverb or "room noise" can become a serious issue when the listener is in a car with the noise of the tires on the road. Think of it this way, smear vaseline on your glasses and try to watch something. You can do it, but it takes extra effort. We need it to be EASYEven in videos, the key ingredient is not lighting but audio. If I can see you but can't hear you what's the point.You don't need to spend thousands of dollars on equipment. You can get started with a Samson Q2U microphone. If you want to do video, you can get a pair of Rode Wireless Micro microphones and use your phone as a camera.Why is Knowing What You're Going to Say Before Your Press Record a Best Practice?I always say, less planning equals more editing.

How should you  gain consent for ELECTIVE treatments? Is selling in dentistry something to avoid, or an essential part of patient care? How much does emotional intelligence really matter for your success and happiness? Dr. Colin Campbell joins for a powerful episode that dives into consent, sales, and the balance between profit and ethics in dentistry. He also unpacks the huge role of emotional intelligence—not just in clinical practice, but in life. Expect real talk, strong opinions, and communication gems that can reshape the way you connect with patients and approach your career. https://youtu.be/Wtugp1t-IrM Watch PDP244 on Youtube Protrusive Dental Pearl: Read (or listen to) the book Let Them by Mel Robbins — a powerful reminder to take control of your own life and emotions instead of letting outside events dictate them. Takeaways Building trust with patients is crucial for effective consent. Consent should be a relationship management exercise, not just a legal formality. Understanding the patient's perspective is key to effective communication. Elective treatments should be approached with caution and ethical considerations. Sales in dentistry is not a dirty word; it's about providing solutions to patients. Emotional intelligence is a vital skill for dentists to develop. Good dentistry is about doing what is best for the patient, not just for profit. Continuous education and self-improvement are essential for success in dentistry.

CSA: The “Create an Offer That Spreads Itself” workshop replay is now available to all subscribers. Drop me a DM for details about how to get the link and companion worksheet!Most solopreneurs start with the best intentions: do meaningful work, serve people they care about, and build a business that funds and fits the life they actually want.But once they try to cut through the noise of the online world, they get pulled into the niching trap. Digital marketers and online gurus preach Ideal Customer Avatars, Power Offers, funnels, launch formulas, and endless content grinding. The result? 80–90% of their time is spent chasing leads through marketing hacks—leaving just scraps of time for the work that matters most.In this episode, I explain why niching is a trap and how positioning provides a better path. You'll hear:* The working definitions of niche and positioning (and why most get them backward).* Why starting with tools and tactics is like trying to balance an upside-down pyramid.* The architectural wisdom of Louis Sullivan and Vitruvius—form follows function.* An introduction to Lukas Fisher's Clarity Hierarchy and how it flips the guru playbook.* My own example of applying the hierarchy—philosophy, principles, strategy, tactics, and tools—to build a business that funds and fits my life without digital marketing BS.The key insight? Your niche doesn't come first. It emerges from clear positioning.

Over the past few years, I've heard several people suggest that "blogging is dead." However, one of my favorite coaching clients earns her primary income from her blog and also hosts retreats and an annual conference for an entire community of food bloggers who earn an income from their blogging efforts. So I invited my client, Megan Porta, and asked her the question, "Can you still make money blogging in 2025?" Short answer: Yes. It's doable. It looks different than it did a decade ago. It requires real passion, patience, and a focus on what serves readers right now. Below are thorough show notes to meet you exactly where you are. If you want to start or revive a blog as a real income stream, these notes double as a step-by-step primer. What This Episode Covers Why blogging still pays when you pair patience with passion Megan has seen brand-new bloggers “crushing it.” The difference now is you cannot fake it. Your readers and Google both know when you do. Authenticity wins. The fastest realistic path to first income Join a quality ad network once your traffic qualifies. We name the two big players and their current thresholds. We also discuss why Google SEO and Pinterest are still the two traffic pillars that move the needle. Niching way down to win Broad “everything” blogs struggle today. Specific sub-niches serve specific people and get rewarded. Think “vegan cakes” instead of “vegan.” The love for your topic has to show up in every post. The collaboration playbook for early momentum Smart email list swaps. Contributing value inside the right Facebook groups without spamming. How one helpful post can put a niche creator “on the map” in months. Income beyond ads Digital products. Memberships. Sponsorships. How to think about affiliate income post-HCU and what still works if you are selective. Platform and tech choices that save you pain Why WordPress.org with solid hosting is still the move. Why a VPS and proactive security matter. Real-world cautionary tales about updates, backups, and malware. Key Takeaways and Insights 1) Yes, you can still get paid to blog. The bar is higher. If you bring patience and genuine expertise, you can absolutely build an income today. People starting in the last year or two are succeeding. The difference is the landscape. Authenticity and user value must drive your strategy. 2) Niche inside the niche Winning examples are laser-specific. Pick a tight segment of a larger category, then become unmistakably helpful to that reader. This is how you break through and build trust. 3) Traffic plan: SEO and Pinterest first To qualify for premium ad networks, prioritize traffic that comes from search and Pinterest. Current thresholds discussed in the episode: Mediavine at roughly 50,000 sessions per month and Raptive at roughly 100,000 pageviews per month. Build to those numbers, then let ad RPMs start compounding. 4) Collaboration without spam Use email list collaborations. Show up consistently inside large, topic-relevant Facebook groups. Earn trust by answering questions with real substance. This moves traffic quickly when your niche is dialed in. 5) Create on-topic, helpful content Google's Helpful Content updates pushed bloggers to stay tightly aligned with user intent. Keep posts on point for your niche. Tangential personal stories and off-topic content dilute perceived expertise and can hurt discoverability. 6) Monetization mix that works in 2025 Display Ads once you hit network thresholds. This becomes semi-passive as your library grows. Digital Products as quick wins: ebooks, guides, weekly prep plans. These are simple to produce and match your audience's immediate needs. Memberships if your audience is invested. Price points in food niches commonly range from about 5 to 20 dollars per month, often for ad-free experiences or exclusive content. Tech options include WordPress setups and hosted communities such as Circle, Skool, Slack, Discord, Mighty Networks, and niche tools like Member Kitchens. Sponsorships when you can articulate your audience's value. Niche reach can beat raw follower counts if you understand a sponsor's acquisition economics and lifetime value. Affiliate Income is trickier after recent updates. It can still work at higher commissions or with premium offers. Treat it as a supplemental play, not your core plan. 7) Stack the tech in your favor Choose WordPress.org for full control, proven SEO flexibility, and extensibility. Invest in good hosting. A VPS with strong uptime guarantees is worth it. Expect to pay roughly 89 to 150 dollars per month for reliability that protects your revenue. Treat security and backups as non-negotiables. Plugins and themes require regular updates. Malware exploits often come from simple neglect. Have a pro who can restore fast. This avoids losing days or weeks or years of content. Practical Playbook Phase 1. Choose a narrow niche and validate demand List ten posts your ideal reader would save today. Ensure all are tightly aligned with one outcome your niche cares about. Keep stories and extras on-topic so Google sees topical authority. Phase 2. Protect the asset Run WordPress.org on a reliable VPS and keep everything updated. Assign backups and security to a pro so you do not risk outages or data loss. Phase 3. Build a traffic engine Publish high-quality posts that answer exact questions your audience asks. Optimize for search and create Pinterest assets for each post. Aim for Mediavine or Raptive thresholds to unlock ad revenue. Phase 4. Accelerate through collaboration Join large, relevant Facebook groups. Contribute substantial answers that stand on their own. Start tasteful email list collaborations for quick, qualified traffic. Phase 5. Layer monetization Add an easy digital product that solves a specific use case. Test a simple membership once engagement is strong. Pitch sponsors when you can quantify your audience's fit and value.

But here's what most agency owners don't realize: niching also raises the stakes. When you plant your flag in a vertical, you're no longer one of many. You become the [...] The post Why Retention is the Secret to Winning Your Agency's Niche appeared first on Seven Figure Agency.
