She delves into the practical lessons she learned about subscriber engagement and personal growth, providing us with valuable insights, all while her small but loyal 'Snacker' community supported her.

FITNESS APPS THAT I USE & LOVE:

1. Millionaire Hoy (also on YouTube) is my favorite fitness instructor. I’m nearly seven years in with Mill Hoy. I can’t say enough good things about his workouts and challenges. He has over 3,000 workouts on his HoyPro app and counting! Workouts include HIIT, mobility, strength, non-stop workouts, cardio yoga, and so much more!
2. KaisaFit (Just Move) & KaisaFit Mobility App | Kaisa probably has the deepest bench in the game. You'll find it on her site whether you’re looking for strength, dance, cardio, etc. Bonus! As of February 2024, you can download the stand-alone KaisaFit Mobility app. It launched with an incredible $38 annual membership offer.
3. SaraBeth Yoga | My go-to online yoga instructor. I’ve had this app for five years and highly recommend it! (Also on YouTube)

JODDIE'S FIVE TIPS FOR CONTENT CREATION: *This episode originally appeared on my SnackySays podcast. CLICK HERE to see the original substack post including images.
1. Commit to being consistent | Whatever that means to you - daily, weekly, monthly, etc. (your audience, readers, followers, etc., know what to expect, and you’ll get in the habit of putting out videos, content, podcast episodes, newsletters, etc.)

2. Start & Keep Going

3. Set yourself up for success

1. Make it easy for folks to contact you (business email (Gmail is fine IMHO)
2. Have something for sale
3. Make it easy to find your offers (link in bio, on your website, etc)
4. Make it easy to pay you (If you don’t have a website or checkout page, consider using Pensight, PayPal, Venmo, Payhip, Gumroad, etc.)
5. “Every mickle make a muckle” (…every dime you make adds up to greater sums)

4. Educate Yourself/Up-skill/Gain New Skills

1. Online courses
2. Free resources in your community and online
3. YouTube University (Whatever your interest, you will likely find some guidance on YouTube)
4. Hey, maybe even pay for certifications and/or a degree. (This, to me, is a big decision. Perhaps do your due diligence, especially if it’s a costly certification or degree regarding time and money.)

5. Expect Failure - get your lipstick ready and start kissing them frogs!

1. Mai-kee Tsang | The Sustainable Visibility Digital Thingamabob Event will be back in 2025.
2. Birte of BirdyAnd | Birte’s presentation, Supportive Systems: Setting Yourself Up in Order to Receive, during Mai-kee’s event was the catalyst for me adding my PayPal donation page (https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=CGJZ99CWL5HAY) and creating a proper Offers page.
3. Pensight is the “link in bio” site I use to sell digital products, including my Self Care Stayfit Printable/Digital Journal. Pensight brings all the tools you need to build and deliver your digital products and services in one place. You can use it even if you don’t have a website!
4. I started a micro-business diary a few weeks ago and put this Creative Courage Badge sticker from Cheery Human Studios on it for inspiration. FYI, here is the pocket notebook that I put it on.
5. If you’re starting or restarting content creation or any entrepreneurial endeavor, this Venn Diagram from Rose Han’s 6 Realistic Side Hustles You Can Do Remotely in 2024 video might help give you some direction.
