  • How to Build a Free Link in Bio Store (Step by Step)

    Watch this episode on YouTube: How to Build a Free Link in Bio Store (Step by Step)

    Create your free MiloTree link-in-bio storefront Get the free Link in Bio Money Map AI prompt

    Your link in bio should do more than display a list of links. It should make one next step obvious: grab a useful freebie and join your email list.

    In this episode of The Blogger Genius Podcast, MiloTree co-founder Jillian Leslie explains how to turn Instagram followers and social media visitors into email subscribers and potential customers with a free link-in-bio store. Learn how to connect your content, bio, featured freebie, and small paid offer into a simple digital product sales funnel without a website.

    For the on-screen walkthrough of the MiloTree setup, watch the YouTube version linked above.

    In this episode, you will learn:

    • Why a cluttered link-in-bio page makes the next step harder to find.
    • How to write a benefit-focused bio line that points visitors toward your freebie.
    • How to connect your social content to your email opt-in and thank-you page.
    • How to use the MiloTree AI Product Finder and Product Roadmap to plan your freebie and paid product.
    • How to offer a $9 to $27 tripwire immediately after someone signs up for your freebie.
    • How to feature your freebie at the top of your storefront while keeping your other products and links below.

    Your next step

    Choose one useful freebie that solves a specific problem. Then pair it with a small paid product that helps the same person take the next step. Use the free Link in Bio Money Map prompt to clarify your bio copy and connect the journey.

    MiloTree Free and Grow

    MiloTree Free includes a link-in-bio storefront, up to three digital products, and up to three freebies with tripwires. There is no monthly charge, and MiloTree charges a 5% fee when you make a sale.

  • How to Sell a Digital Product Without an Audience ($1,200)

    Want to see the demos? This episode has screen-share walkthroughs. Watch the full video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/6jvrMl9VhUM?si=msksiy9rQeE0aD8h

    If you are wondering how to sell a digital product without an audience, Dana's story is the place to start.

    Dana was a brand-new college counselor with zero followers, no Instagram audience, and no email list. But she turned what she knew into a simple $29 roadmap for stressed-out parents and made $1,200 in her first month.

    She did not go viral. She did not run ads. She did not post every day and hope the algorithm noticed her.

    She started with people. First, the people who already knew her. Then communities filled with the people she could help. Then a few creators who already had access to her ideal buyers.

    If you have a digital product but no buyers yet, this is the strategy to copy. You do not need traffic first. You need the right people, one ring at a time.

    If you are still deciding what to sell, start with these easy digital downloads to sell now so you are promoting a small, specific product people can understand quickly.

  • Sell What You Know: These 3 AI Prompts Turn a $47 Guide Into $6,000/Month

    Watch the episode on YouTube so you can see Jillian generate 3 product ideas optimized to sell.

      One of the biggest mistakes creators make is thinking they need to be famous before anyone will buy from them.

      But a digital product business does not require you to be a guru, a huge content creator, or a polished expert with a massive audience. It requires you to be useful.

      And most people are already useful. Every job, business, hobby, and life experience gives you knowledge someone else wants because they are a few steps behind you.

      The question is not, "Am I expert enough?" The better question is, "What problem can I help someone solve faster than they could solve it alone?" This is the same idea Jillian teaches in how to turn your personal experience into income with AI. Your experience becomes valuable when you package it around a specific result.

      In this episode, Jillian show how to figure out what to sell from your own experience, how to price it correctly, and how MiloTree's AI Product Finder and AI Product Roadmap can help you go from "I have no idea what to sell" to a product ready to launch.

      Jillian also created a free PDF called Three AI Prompts to Find and Launch Your Digital Product Before Your Competition Does. The prompts walk you through the exact thinking process behind this episode.

      Prompt 1 finds your product idea using a before-and-after transformation. This helps you stop selling a topic and start selling the result your buyer wants.

      Prompt 2 identifies the dominant buying trigger. Is your product helping someone make money, save money, save time, reduce pain, move toward happiness, or raise status?

      Prompt 3 locks in the price, format, and product scope. This keeps you from turning a simple product into a six-month project.

      The goal is not to build something huge. The goal is to build something clear enough to finish and useful enough to sell.

        Watch the video on YouTube to see the demo. Get the 3 prompts here for product ideas people will buy.

        ChatGPT can build you a digital product in minutes. It can make it look polished. It can write the guide, outline the template, and even help you create a sales page.

        But here is the problem: ChatGPT does not automatically know if your product is positioned correctly, priced correctly, or tied to a transformation people actually want to buy.

        That is why so many creators end up with beautiful digital products that nobody buys.

        In this episode, Jillian shares three AI prompts that fix the parts ChatGPT usually misses: the transformation, the purchasing trigger, and the price plus product scope. These are the pieces that can turn a generic idea into a product someone understands, wants, and is willing to pay for.

        The $7,582/Month Example

        In the video, Jill walks through a simple example: a coach who helps women navigate a midlife career change.

        Her first product is a $47 offer called The Midlife Career Reset: Find Your Next Move in 30 Days.

        That name works because it does not just describe the topic. It describes the buyer's future. She is not buying "career advice." She is buying clarity, relief, and a next step.

        Here is the math Jill shares:

        • 110 sales of a $47 product = $5,170
        • 40 buyers add a $19 transferable skills worksheet order bump = $836
        • 8 buyers add a $197 private 90-minute career strategy session = $1,576

        Total: $7,582/month.

        This is not magic. It is a product ladder. The first product solves an immediate problem. The order bump adds a useful next tool. The upsell gives buyers access to the creator's personal help.

        If you want to build this kind of structure, read how to create a digital product stack that turns one offer into a bigger business.

        Why MiloTree Makes This Easier

        You can run these prompts in ChatGPT. They will help you think more strategically before you build.

        But if you want the easier version, MiloTree has this functionality built in for free.

        Inside MiloTree, the AI Product Finder asks you three questions and gives you three product ideas fully spec'd out:

        • product name,
        • suggested price,
        • what is included,
        • who it is for,
        • the transformation, and
        • how long it should take to build.

        Then you pick the product you like best and it loads into your MiloTree dashboard, set up and ready to sell.

        You still need to create the product and upload it, but MiloTree helps there too. The Product Roadmap gives you a step-by-step plan for building it, with AI prompts to help you create it faster and personalization prompts so it does not sound like generic AI.

        CTA: Start with a free MiloTree account to test your first product, freebie, or social pop-up. If you want unlimited products, unlimited freebies, order bumps, upsells, and funnels, upgrade to a paid MiloTree plan.

        Your Action Plan

        Here is what Jill wants you to do next:

        1. Copy the first prompt.
        2. Run it in ChatGPT.
        3. Look for the product idea with the clearest transformation.
        4. Use the second prompt to find the strongest purchasing trigger.
        5. Use the third prompt to price it and shrink the scope so you can finish it.
        6. Set it up in MiloTree and start testing.

        You were probably not stuck because you could not create a digital product. You were stuck because you were guessing.

        The guessing is what changes today.

        I've watched thousands of creators sell digital products. The ones selling ebooks and how-to guides? It used to work. They could make thousands. But now they're struggling.

        There's a small group doing something completely different — and they're making $2,000 to $7,000 a month. Nobody's talking about what they changed. Today I am.

        Shift 1: Stop Selling Information — Start Selling a Transformation

        An information product that used to work: "The Complete Guide to Meal Planning." 40 pages, $17.

        The transformation product: "The 7-Day Meal Prep Jumpstart: Overwhelmed to a Full Freezer in One Weekend." $27.

        Same topic. Totally different product.

        The guide says "here's what to know." The jumpstart says "here's where you'll be in 7 days."

        When someone buys a guide, they're buying a book. When someone buys a jumpstart, they're buying a version of themselves — the version who has it together, who has a full freezer, who isn't scrambling at 6 p.m.

        You're not selling a product. You're selling your customer their future self. And AI can't give that away for free.

        More examples:

        • Before: How to Grow Your Instagram → Now: 1,000 Followers in 30 Days
        • Before: How to Start a Budget → Now: The Debt-Free in 90 Days Playbook

        See the pattern? A specific result, a specific timeframe, a clear starting point.

        The Transformation Product AI Prompt

        "I have experience in [add your niche]. My audience struggles with [add the problem]. Give me five digital product ideas that promise a specific transformation, not just information. Each one should include: 1) A product name that states the result and timeframe, 2) Where the customer starts (their pain point), 3) Where they end up (the specific outcome), 4) Why someone would pay $27 to $47 for this instead of just Googling it or using AI. Make them specific, achievable, and something I could create in one afternoon."

        Shift 2: Don't Write an Ebook — Build a System

        The ebook: "How to Plan Your Content Calendar." 50 pages. The customer has to read it, figure it out, apply it. Most never finish.

        The system: "The 30-Day Content Calendar Framework." Fill in five blanks, follow the decision tree, done-for-them calendar in 20 minutes.

        One makes the customer do the work. The other does it for them. And systems are actually easier to create. You don't need 50 pages — you need a framework.

        A system can be:

        • A fillable PDF workbook
        • A template they can customize
        • A checklist or decision tree
        • A spreadsheet
        • A swipe file with fill-in-the-blank frameworks

        The System Builder AI Prompt

        "I'm creating a digital product called [add your product name]. Instead of writing an ebook, help me design it as a fill-in-the-blank system. Include: 1) What the customer fills in about their specific situation (3-5 inputs), 2) What the system gives them back (the personalized output), 3) The step-by-step framework — what does each page or section do?, 4) How the customer gets to the promised result without reading more than two pages. Keep it simple enough that I can build it in a Google Doc or Canva template in one afternoon."

        Shift 3: AI Can't Be You

        This is the one nobody talks about.

        AI can write an ebook. AI can build a template. AI can create a framework. But AI cannot be you.

        AI can't look at someone's business and say "skip that, do this." AI can't bring your years of experience to their problem. AI can't make someone feel seen.

        That's what people pay the most for — not your product, you.

        Put yourself in everything you sell. And if AI scares you, here's the flip: once you make this shift, AI becomes your accelerator. It builds your templates faster, your frameworks in an afternoon, your sales pages in minutes. AI does the heavy lifting. You focus on being you.

        How to Set Up and Sell Your Product in 15 Minutes

        Everyone wants to make $10,000 a month selling digital products. But most people haven't made their first sale yet.

        So before we talk about $10K months, let's talk about five AI prompts that build a real digital product business from scratch — no audience, no email list, no products needed to start.

        Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/9aG8F9Y9JlM?si=SsXbeLmhOuCbGBxj

        But first, the most important thing: this is not about being perfect. It's about being fast. The creators who make money test faster. They put something out, see what works, double down on the winners, and kill what doesn't. Your first product might flop — and that's not failure. That's data.

        AI lets you test five ideas in the time it used to take to build one. So stop overthinking. Start testing.

        Everyone on YouTube is telling you to use AI to slap together a digital product and start making money overnight. I'm going to be honest with you — most of those people are selling you a fantasy.

        I'm not saying AI isn't powerful. It is. But the way most people are using it, they're setting themselves up to fail. And I can prove it because I've watched it happen hundreds of times.

        In this post, I'll show you the simple AI strategy that took one creator from a $27 product to $11,000/month — and break down exactly how you can do the same.

        Test Fast With MiloTree

        You're not just creating any AI product — you're creating a specific product for a specific person that hits a specific trigger. And you can test this incredibly fast.

        In my MiloTree dashboard, I click "digital product," give it a name, a price, and a short description. With the press of a button, MiloTree generates an AI sales page for me.

        I can tweak a few things and I'm done. Live sales page, ready to share. 15 minutes, start to finish. No website, no complicated tech.

        If it sells, great — build on it. If it doesn't, no problem. Tweak it or try another idea. The speed of testing is everything when you're starting out.

        If you're a blogger watching your ad revenue plummet after Google updates and AI disruptions, you're not alone. Traffic losses of 50-70% have become the new normal, leaving thousands of creators wondering if their years of hard work were for nothing.

        In my newest video, I shared the incredible story of Melanie, a registered dietitian and low-carb food blogger who transformed her dying blog into a thriving digital product business. In just 90 days, she went from $700/month in ad revenue to $6,500/month. Ten months later, she's now making $12,500/month—nearly three times her pre-crash income.

        The best part? She used the same expertise, the same email list, and the same audience she already had. She just changed her business model.

        In this post, I'll walk you through Melanie's exact week-by-week strategy so you can replicate her success, even if your traffic has tanked and your ad revenue has disappeared.

Let's say they make a hundred sales in a month. Great job! But next month, they start all over, hunting for those same $27 customers again.

        But what if that same customer became worth $2,000 to your business? Same effort to acquire them, but 235 times more profitable.

        The $27 Trap: Why Most Creators Are Leaving Money on the Table

        Here's what most of us do: We create that one product, price it at $27, and pour all our energy into getting new people to buy it. We're constantly putting up Instagram posts, Pinterest pins, writing blog posts, sending emails, running ads.

        And even when it works, the math is terrible.

        Let's say you get 100 new customers at $27 each. That's $2,700. Sounds good, right?

        But next month, you need 100 more new customers to make that same $2,700. It never ends. You're always hustling for new people.

        Meanwhile, those 100 customers you already have? They trusted you enough to buy once—but you're ignoring them while you chase strangers.

        That's where most creators are leaving thousands of dollars on the table and burning out.

        If you're feeling this exhaustion, you're not alone. In my post on why people won't pay for information anymore, I talk about how the old model of selling one product isn't working in 2026. The solution isn't more hustle—it's a smarter business model.

        What Is a Digital Product Ladder?

        Here's what smart creators do instead. They build what I call a digital product ladder, and it completely changes the economics of your business.

        Instead of selling one thing and moving on, you create a journey for your customer:

        The 6 Rungs of a Product Ladder

        1. Freebie/Lead Magnet – This is how you earn their trust. They end up on your email list.
        2. Tripwire Product ($27) – Something small that goes deeper at solving their problem. They buy it, get results, and now trust you even more.
        3. Product Bundle ($97) – A comprehensive solution combining multiple resources.
        4. Course or Coaching ($297) – Premium transformation and deeper support.
        5. Membership (Recurring) – They're paying you every month for ongoing value and community.
        6. Mastermind/High-Touch Program – For serious implementers who want direct access to you.

        Same customers. One acquisition cost. But instead of making $27, you're making over $2,000 over time from that same person.

        And here's the beautiful part: Each sale after the first one costs you almost nothing. They already know you. They already trust you. They are easier to sell to than a complete stranger.

        This is exactly why I teach the upsell and order bump strategy inside MiloTree—it's the fastest way to increase your customer lifetime value without finding new customers.

        If you're a creator, blogger, coach, or online entrepreneur, you've probably felt it already:

        AI has changed everything.

        The old playbook—creating an ebook, checklist, or guide filled with information—just isn't enough anymore. When someone can ask ChatGPT a question and get an answer in 30 seconds, why would they pay $27 for a static PDF?

        That's the uncomfortable truth most creators are avoiding.

        But here's the good news: this shift is actually opening the door to more income, not less.

        In my newest video, I break down the five products creators will rely on to make $10,000, $20,000, even $50,000 per month in 2026—and why these offers work because of AI, not in spite of it.

        Let's dig in.

        The Big Shift: Information Is Free — You Are the Product

        AI can generate content. AI can summarize ideas. AI can outline frameworks.

        What AI can't do?

        • Look at someone's specific situation
        • Give personalized guidance
        • Create accountability
        • Build community
        • Deliver transformation

        That's why the creators winning in 2026 aren't selling information.

        They're selling access, guidance, experience, and connection.

        And AI? It becomes your accelerator—helping you create faster while you deliver the value.

        The 5 Products Dominating Creator Income in 2026

        1. One-on-One Coaching

        Coaching is the fastest path to cash for creators right now.

        Why? Because people don't want generic advice—they want someone to look at their situation and tell them exactly what to do.

        One productivity coach charging $300 per session and booking just 12 sessions a month is already making $3,600/month. No ads. No massive audience. Just expertise and trust.

        You don't need a complicated setup either:

        • Payments
        • A scheduling link
        • Zoom

        That's it.

        2. Live Workshops

        Workshops let you scale your time without losing the human element.

        One MiloTree customer ran a 90-minute live workshop for $97. 45 people showed up. That's $4,365 in under two hours.

        Same expertise as coaching—just delivered to more people at once. Plus, live workshops create urgency and energy that pre-recorded content never can.

        3. Mini Courses with Live Q&A

        This is where things get really smart.

        Creators are taking workshops they already ran and turning them into:

        • Short, focused mini courses
        • Broken into simple modules
        • Paired with weekly live Q&A calls

        One nutrition coach sold 38 copies at $147—over $5,500 from content she had already created.

        Evergreen content + live access = the best of both worlds.

        4. Group Coaching Programs

        Group coaching hits the sweet spot between leverage and connection.

        Think:

        • A defined outcome
        • A clear timeline (8–12 weeks)
        • Weekly group calls
        • A private community

        One business coach runs a 12-week program at $497 and enrolls 18 people at a time—nearly $9,000 per cohort, twice a year.

        Same expertise. Same calls. Way more impact.

        5. Memberships (The Real Long-Term Play)

        If you want predictable, recurring revenue, memberships are where creators are building real wealth.

        One creator helping Etsy sellers launched a $67/month membership and grew it to 227 members—over $15,000/month recurring.

        Why memberships work so well:

        • Community is the value
        • Members support each other
        • You're the guide, not the bottleneck
        • Income stacks month after month

        AI can give advice. It can't create belonging.

        Why MiloTree Is Built for This New Era

        Here's the part most creators don't realize: you don't need five different tools to sell these products.

        With MiloTree, you can sell:

        • Coaching sessions
        • Workshops
        • Mini courses with live calls
        • Group programs
        • Memberships
        • Digital downloads

        All in one place.

        No Kajabi. No Teachable. No ThriveCart. No bloated platforms that take hours (or weeks) to figure out.

        MiloTree handles:

        • Payments
        • Digital delivery
        • Scheduling
        • AI-generated sales pages

        And yes—you can start for free, no credit card required, to test which product your audience actually wants.

        Not Sure Which Product to Start With? I Made This for You

        To make this even easier, I created a free AI prompt called:

        The 2026 Product Selector AI Prompt

        You tell it:

        • Your niche
        • Your expertise
        • Your audience size
        • How much time you have

        And it tells you:

        • Which of the five products to launch first
        • Why it fits your situation
        • Five clear action steps to get moving immediately

        No overthinking. No endless planning. Just momentum.

        👉 Grab the free prompt and sign up for your free MiloTree account.

        Final Takeaway

        Here's the truth creators need to hear:

        AI didn't kill creator businesses. It killed generic content.

        The creators thriving in 2026 are the ones who:

        • Lean into their personality
        • Share their lived experience
        • Guide people through real transformation

        Use AI to build faster. Use MiloTree to sell easier.

        And remember this part—it matters most:

        You are the product. And that's what people will happily pay for.
