Hey friends! Along with content ideas and IG tips, I also share monetization advice. If you're new here, I started my online business in content creation many years ago, which branched out to consulting 1000s upon 1000s of small businesses and entrepreneurs over the last 3-5 years. One of my largest sources of income to this day is brand partnerships. I've secured close to $30k for 2026 so far in brand partnerships. I just got this email yesterday for another $5k. If you're interested in getting into brand partnerships or even UGC (where you create videos and content for the brand's social platforms), I teach how to get started in both with all my pro tips in my Digital Biz Academy. You can grab it right now for just $37 HERE: DIGITAL BIZ ACADEMY Here are some beginner tips for brand partnerships: *Follow any and all brands/restaurants/etc you'd like to work with *Post content about those brands incorporated in your everyday content and TAG them, trust me, they are watching. *Start creating videos even if you don't post them because you can use them to pitch later. *Stay consistent on your page no matter your niche, this gives brands confidence you're treating your page like a business. Hope these help! Here's to monetizing 2026! Cheers, Hols

Hi Friends, I wish I didn't have to write these words but on 11/20 my husband, Adam, was diagnosed with Hepatocellular Carcinoma, liver cancer. As you can imagine, my entire world turned upside down in 24 hours. We've reached the point of acceptance and have an incredible team at The Univ Of Chicago to get us through this. I always focus on the positives so it's important to note that he's very young (only 43), he's very healthy otherwise, the cancer is primary to the liver and has not spread to other organs, just a few nearby lymph nodes. Because of all of these, the doctors feel he can beat this and so do I in my heart. What does this mean for me and my business? Well, thankfully 75% of my business is passive and I'm going to ramp up ads for my courses and such. All my PR firm & brand partnerships are extremely supportive and understanding in giving me more home based work and extensions when I need them. Honestly in this really shitty situation, I have the best situation with community support, family, and friends. With all that, I'm someone who likes to work as it gives me an escape and we will need me to continue to work with mounting medical bills, etc., so I will still be active in sharing all the things in this page it just might not be every day. So many friends have asked me what they can do to help, and honestly, I don't even know how to answer that question at this point but if you see a post of mine you can engage, share, save, comment, etc. If you're interested in growing your business or need the extra training, all my resources I've personally built are in the classroom section. I'm also working on an app to help write all your content with ease, with audio and all, but it won't be available until after the new year now. These are the little ways and mostly free ways to support me should you feel like you want to do something to help :) <3. I won't announce anything publicly until after we tell our boys. We wanted them to have a "normal" holiday season and get through some birthdays so they don't attach this time of year with their dad getting cancer.

Wondering about how these help your content? I explained it all here! HASHTAGS & KEYWORDS

As all of you know, I'm a FT content creator for major brands for 10+ years. This is the content strategy I follow with every post! CONTENT STRATEGY Happy weekend!

Here are 10 of my favorite viral negative hooks I use and SEE being very successful in the algorithm. You’ll want to save these: The worst decision I ever made in my business was _.” “Am I the only one who cringes every time I see _?” “These are the myths you still believe about _.” “Let’s bust this _ myth once and for all.” “Unpopular truth: (new trend) might not be right for you.” “If you’re struggling with _, this could be why.” “Still believing the myth that _? Here’s what’s actually true…” “STOP doing this one thing if you want to grow faster.” “This might be my most unpopular opinion yet, but _.” “Why your _ strategy isn’t working (and how to fix it).” Happy creating!
