Is chasing traffic and viral content actually hurting your business?

In this episode, I share a story from my early days as a blogger—when I drove hundreds of thousands of visitors to my site and made exactly $0—and the huge lessons learned that still shape how I create content and build businesses today.

Here’s what I cover:

• The “Bulletproof Coffee” mistake that got me traffic but zero customers
• Why my “Double Unders” article brought fewer views but 100x more sales
• The danger of chasing vanity metrics and viral trends
• Why revenue is the only real metric that matters
• How to make sure your content aligns directly with your offer

💡 Key Lessons:

• Vanity metrics don’t pay the bills: Traffic and views mean nothing if they don’t convert to customers.
• Entertainment vs. education: Know the difference. A viral video may go nowhere if it doesn’t tie to what you sell.
• Revenue is king: If your content doesn’t lead to sales, it’s just an expensive hobby.
• Always start with your offer: Build content backward from what you’re actually trying to sell.

✅ The Takeaway: Stop creating content hoping it might work. Instead, reverse engineer your messaging from your actual offer. Solve real pain points that lead people directly into becoming customers.
