In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Meredith Marsh, who went from hobby blogger to a thriving YouTube creator. Her journey is nothing short of inspiring! We dive into the rollercoaster of monetization, the magic of simplifying business decisions, and how she's mastered creating passive income with YouTube funnels. Meredith gets real about tackling invalid traffic issues (ugh, the struggle), while also dropping gems on the power of SEO and blogging to boost visibility. We also chat about the ins and outs of sponsorships and affiliate marketing—what works, what doesn't, and how to make it all flow. Meredith even teases her future plans to grow her content and revenue streams, leaving me and, I’m sure, you totally motivated. This convo is a must-listen for anyone looking to turn their passion into profits!
