The Smart Passive Income Online Business and Blogging Podcast

MM #003 When you find your niche and everything clicks, even if it's by accident, it's time to double down! And that's all about working on yourself and being ready to shine when you finally get your big chance! I can't think of anyone who embodies this mindset more than my friend Tevin Davis. We met as contestants on Survivor and, as you'll hear in today's episode, sleeping in the dirt next to someone definitely creates a special bond! But what I love most about Tevin is the authenticity he's built a living on! And we'll hear more about his inspiring creator business today. Tevin shares why brands have him on retainer as a creator, how to post (pretty much) daily without burning out, the top-performing platforms right now, and why it's vital to charge your worth even if it makes you uncomfortable. This is one of my favorite interviews so far, so listen in! Show notes and more at SmartPassiveIncome.com/mm003.

AL #020 We all want to automate ourselves out of the day-to-day of running a business. I get that. But trust is the one thing we never want to sacrifice for efficiency. Every single one of our sales depends on it! So is it possible to build real trust through an automated email sequence? That's what I'm helping Paulina Cossette with on today's AskLiz episode! I'll share the exact emails I'd send out, how I'd sequence them, how I'd avoid coming off as salesy, and the extra content I'd create to flesh out this strategy. But I'll also steer some of you away from applying anything like this just yet. If you tune in, you'll be able to gauge whether your business is ready for this level of automation. And if it's not, you'll get an idea of how to get there! Enjoy, and please keep sending your business questions in at SpeakPipe.com/LizWilcox! Show notes and more at SmartPassiveIncome.com/al020.

#951 When I took over SPI, Pat told me that one of the secrets to his success was staying curious. And that's actually a great approach to entrepreneurship! With "play" as my word of the year for 2026, curiosity keeps things interesting. But it does a lot more than that when you use it to fuel business experimentation. Like, $500,000 more, as you'll hear in today's awesome session with Sam Vander Wielen! She's built an incredible brand around her legal expertise and is now the go-to resource for entrepreneurs looking to protect their businesses. Sam not only shares essential insights on setting up your business for legal peace of mind, but also gives us a behind-the-scenes look at how webinars are transforming her launches! You definitely don't want to miss this one if you're anything like me. Because y'all, someone was already threatening to sue us within the first two months of me buying SPI! So listen in and sign up for Sam's free webinar to avoid these risks yourself! Show notes and more at SmartPassiveIncome.com/session951.

If you're like many of us, that's how you found your way to online entrepreneurship! But how do you go from a dream of building your own thing to "making it" for real? To explore this question, I knew my friend Nadalie Bardo would have to join me. She's just the best! Nadalie has absolutely been one of the most consistent and resilient people I've met in the online business space over the last ten years, even though it hasn't always been smooth sailing for her! Today, you'll learn more about Nadalie's journey from a PR job to becoming the go-to Pinterest marketing expert.

Al #019 If you lean into having fun running your business, you'll see results. That's why "playful" has been my word of the year for 2026. And maybe one of the best examples of how I've applied this mindset is my Christmas in July sale. While this is something I do every year over on LizWilcox.com, I knew I wanted to try something new and different this time around. And it all started with a waitlist, which is the part people ask me about the most. If you listen in on today's session, you'll hear how limiting access to this flash sale actually helped me reach my goals faster. In fact, the bulk of the purchases I was looking for came in before the sale itself even went live! So join me for this episode to get in on the fun and make more sales. And please keep sending your business questions in at SpeakPipe.com/LizWilcox! Show notes and more at SmartPassiveIncome.com/al019.
