Episode 180: Automate Your Lead Generation with our FREE online course: https://go.digitaltrailblazer.com/auto-leads-course-freeMany online business owners waste time chasing viral social media growth through "algorithm hacks" and automation tools, only to see their accounts shadow-banned or their content buried.

Drawing from his experience building Instagram automation tools and later designing social media algorithms, he explains what social media platforms allow and tolerate, what activities can help you grow, which are harmful, and how platforms detect automated behavior.Most importantly, he reveals why focusing on your core business craft - rather than social media tricks - is the key to long-term success.About Tim O'Hearn: Tim wrote Framed: A Villain's Perspective on Social Media.  - #1 New Release and #1 Bestseller in "Social Aspects of the Internet" - $500k earned in his social media growth side hustle - 8+ years spent as a software engineer in quant finance - Designed feed, push notifications, and recommendations at a social media startup - 200+ books read and reviewed 2016-2020, one of the top non-fiction reviewers on Goodreads - Sports journalist and gonzo writer, published on FanSided, FloTrack, and LetsRun.

Ready to transform your seasonal TPT resources from potential time-wasters into profitable assets? This episode reveals the strategic difference between seasonal products that generate substantial income and those that simply drain your valuable time.As teacher-entrepreneurs, we face a unique challenge with seasonal resources - a short window to capitalize on seasonal traffic and limited time to optimize underperforming products. I'm sharing three data-driven strategies that eliminate guesswork and maximize your earnings during these critical selling periods.You'll discover how to leverage the same keywords across different product types to identify what buyers truly want, how testing different keyword sets can reveal hidden traffic opportunities, and how using template variations across topics can dramatically increase your efficiency while pinpointing exactly which skills teachers need most. These practical approaches transform each seasonal release into both a revenue generator and a market research opportunity.The real magic happens when you apply what you learn to build cohesive product lines that can be bundled for upcoming seasons. By focusing your limited creation time on proven winners, you'll develop the confidence to know exactly which products to prioritize for maximum impact.Whether you're just starting your TPT journey or looking to optimize an established store, these strategies will help you make smarter decisions about where to invest your time and creative energy.

He breaks down the critical concept of direct delivery margin, explains how to calculate your true costs including future hiring needs, and shares his value-versus-risk quadrant for choosing the right pricing model.Marcel also reveals when it's time to raise prices and how to replace low-margin clients with higher-paying ones to scale profitably.About Marcel Petitpas: Marcel Petitpas is the CEO & Co-Founder of Parakeeto, a company dedicated to helping agencies measure and improve their profitability. In his work as a speaker, podcast host, and consultant, specializing in Agency Profitability Optimization, he's helped thousands of agencies, consultancies, and professional services firms worldwide measure the right metrics and improve their profitability. He's on a mission to help firms break free of the outdated management silos between finance, operations & new business, and master their profitability through Parakeeto's Integrated Profit Management System.In addition to his work at Parakeeto, Marcel is also a bestselling author, weightlifting and biohacking enthusiast and a part-time beekeeper.Download Marcel's Profit Toolkit here: https://parakeeto.com/toolkitConnect with Marcel:https://marcelpetitpas.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcelpetitpas https://www.instagram.com/marcel.petitpas/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkq1Fcy_x3ZcNjMZEaSvSpw https://parakeeto.com/Want to SCALE your online business bigger and faster without the endless hustle of networking, referrals, and pumping out content that nobody sees?Grab our Ultimate Ad Script for Coaches, Agencies, and Course Creators.Learn the exact 5-step script we teach our clients that allows them to generate targeted, high-quality leads at ultra-low cost, so you can land paying customers and clients without breaking the bank on ad spend.

Ever feel paralyzed when you get conflicting advice from different business experts? You're not alone.If you've ever found yourself asking multiple coaches the same question, getting different answers, and feeling more confused than when you started, this episode will change everything for you.The truth is, every time you seek external validation for your business decisions without checking in with yourself first, you're rewiring your brain to believe that everyone else knows better than you. This creates a dependency that keeps you stuck in decision paralysis instead of building the self-trust muscle you need to create a business that actually aligns with who you are.In this episode, I'm sharing why copy-paste strategies rarely work for most people, how your brain's need for certainty keeps you seeking external validation, and the exact framework I use with my clients to help them make decisions from a place of alignment rather than anxiety.You'll also hear a real-time example from my Foundations to Flow group where a client had to choose between two conflicting strategies - and why her decision surprised me (but made me so proud).Key Points Covered:✨ Why asking multiple experts the same question leaves you more confused✨ The neurological reason your brain craves external validation over self-trust✨ How copy-paste strategies ignore your unique strengths and values✨ The difference between receiving advice from inner knowing vs. inner panic✨ Questions to ask yourself when evaluating conflicting business advice✨ Why "everything works" but not everything will work for YOUIf you're tired of endlessly scrolling for the "right" strategy or feeling dependent on others for your business decisions, this episode will help you start rebuilding trust in your own intuition and business instincts.

Ready to revolutionize your approach to TPT success? This eye-opening episode challenges the common misconception that creating more products is the only path to growth. Instead, Lauren Fulton reveals the powerful strategy of "creating for views" – an algorithmic approach that helps your resources work smarter, not harder.Discover three game-changing tactics that can transform your product creation process. First, learn how combining two resource types into one product (like task cards activities instead of just task cards) targets multiple keyword sets simultaneously, doubling your visibility with minimal extra effort. Next, explore how creating complementary products that teachers naturally search for together builds valuable keyword traction and opens the door to higher-ticket sales. Finally, master the art of creating leveled versions of your resources to appeal to multiple grade levels while gathering crucial market data.What makes these strategies particularly powerful is their efficiency – you're essentially casting a wide net instead of a single line, creating multiple opportunities for buyers to discover your work without significantly increasing your workload. For new sellers, this approach provides invaluable insights into which niches and grade levels respond best to your content, allowing you to make data-driven decisions about where to focus your efforts.Whether you're just starting your TPT journey or looking to scale an established store, these practical, actionable strategies will help you build a purposeful and sustainable business.

This week on Sounds Like a Cult, Reese and Amanda take a scroll through the beige world of the cult of Digital Marketing and all of its malicious tactics, from emojis to emotional manipulation. Follow us as we ask: do these courses actually teach anything useful? WTF even is a digital asset? Are these just MLMs in trendy Gen-Z clothing? If you couldn't tell, we aren't exactly ~math experts~ over here, so joining us to help debunk some of the hashtaggable rhetoric of digital marketing are Maggie Patterson (@bsfreebusiness) and Michelle Mazur (@drmichellemazur), cohosts of Duped: The Dark Side of Online Business.
