Are you ready to take your blog or content creation to the next level with dream brand partnerships? In this episode, I had the privilege of chatting with Justin Moore, founder of Creator Wizard and author of the upcoming book Sponsor Magnet. Justin specializes in helping creators like you find, negotiate, and secure brand partnerships that align with your platform and audience. If you’ve ever struggled with pricing, pitching, or finding the right brands to work with, this conversation is a goldmine of insights.
https://creativesonfirepodcast.com/episode174
Key Takeaways from the Episode 1. Shift the Power DynamicMany creators feel like they’re at the mercy of brands, but Justin flips that mindset. Brands need your audience and influence just as much as you need their support. Approach partnerships as a meeting of equals.
Tip: Avoid settling for “free product” collaborations. Your time, influence, and platform are valuable—charge accordingly.
2. The Art of NegotiationJustin emphasizes the importance of avoiding pre-set pricing in media kits. Every brand partnership is unique, so tailor your pricing based on the brand’s objectives.
Justin’s Framework:
When asked for your pricing, respond with:
“Before I provide rates, can you share your goals and what success would look like for this campaign?” Follow up with a customized proposal offering multiple packages at different price points.Pro Tip: Lean into the silence during negotiations—it’s often where the magic happens!
3. The Value of Audience InsightsYour audience is your greatest asset in pitching brands. Justin suggests conducting a psychographic survey to learn more about their preferences, habits, and challenges.
Why It Works:
It highlights brands that resonate with your audience. It positions you as the perfect partner because you can show brands exactly how your audience aligns with their target customers. 4. Create a Pitching HabitDon’t wait for brands to come to you. Justin stresses the importance of proactively pitching brands you love.
How to Start:
Dedicate time weekly to reaching out to brands and following up on previous pitches. Nurture relationships by sharing relevant articles, insights, or campaign ideas. Build a “sales pipeline” of potential opportunities to keep the income flowing. 5. Understand Brand VettingBrands do their homework before reaching out. Ensure your blog and social profiles:
Clearly show that you work with brands. Have updated contact information (include email addresses in plain text on social bios). Consistently align with your niche and brand voice. Justin’s New Book: Sponsor MagnetLaunching on January 21, 2025, Justin’s book is packed with actionable strategies to:

As the year winds down, it’s a tough time for content creators. Many are quitting, but in this episode, we’ll tackle why that’s happening and how to fix it. From refining your niche to staying consistent and avoiding content burnout, this episode is packed with actionable strategies to help you keep going strong.
https://creativesonfirepodcast.com/episode173
Key Takeaways:
Get Clear on Your Niche Lack of focus is a top reason creators quit. Having a clear niche simplifies content creation and attracts the right audience. Use the free resource, Pinpoint Your Passion, to narrow down your interests, identify your strengths, and find your field of favor. [Link in show notes.] Example: Kelly Radcliff niched down to zinnias and saw massive growth, building an Instagram following of 250,000+. Commit to Consistency Consistency builds trust and interest, two keys to audience growth. Define what consistency looks like for you—weekly blog posts, daily social media updates, or monthly newsletters. Apply consistency to your marketing strategy. Use three to five SEO keywords repeatedly across your content and branding to drive traffic and build familiarity. Avoid Content Fade Content fade, or burnout from constant content creation, is a major obstacle for creators. Focus on creating impactful content that resonates with your audience, not just churning out posts to "throw spaghetti at the wall." Don’t get lost “in the weeds” of endless editing and overthinking. Aim for "good enough" content and prioritize getting it out there.Pro Tip:
Perfect is the enemy of progress. Set limits on editing time and prioritize consistency over perfection. Your audience cares more about how you make them feel than every detail of your content.Call to Action:
Get Focused: Download Pinpoint Your Passion to find your perfect niche. Stay Connected: Leave a review on the podcast to support the show and share your thoughts. It’s Melanie’s "birthmas" wish!

In this episode, we’re joined by Pinterest expert Tony Hill, who shares insider tips on how bloggers can use Pinterest to drive traffic, boost revenue, and stay ahead of the ever-changing online landscape. Whether you’re new to Pinterest or looking to level up, Tony Hill’s insights in this rare interview are invaluable!
https://creativesonfirepodcast.com/episode171
Key Takeaways:
Why Pinterest is a Goldmine for Bloggers: Pinterest offers higher ad RPMs compared to Google traffic, meaning you can earn more with less traffic. The platform allows multiple opportunities for exposure compared to Google’s rigid rankings. Pinterest appeals to users looking for inspiration and ideas, making it an ideal platform for bloggers in DIY, food, and lifestyle niches. Practical Tips for Pinterest Success: Understand the Platform: Spend time using Pinterest as a user to see trends, pin designs, and popular topics. Create Inspiring Content: Focus on topics that inspire action—like recipes, home projects, or visual ideas. Use Tools like Pinclicks: Tony’s tool helps identify trending keywords and top-performing pin designs in your niche. Strategies for Bloggers Pivoting to Pinterest: Consider adding Pinterest-specific content to your current blog rather than starting a new one. Use a no-index strategy for posts targeted at Pinterest to protect your Google rankings. Embrace AI for content creation, but focus on making visually engaging, actionable posts that resonate with Pinterest’s audience. The Future of Pinterest: Pinterest’s user base continues to grow, especially among younger audiences like Gen Z. Its focus on inspiration and planning makes it a sustainable platform for bloggers looking to diversify traffic sources.Links Mentioned in the Episode:

In this quick episode, I'm exploring why you should focus on writing blog posts for your readers instead of just for Google or Pinterest. Here’s why this shift is so important:
https://creativesonfirepodcast.com/episode167
Connect with Your Ideal Reader:
Writing for your readers builds loyalty and engagement. Focus on their challenges, interests, and questions to make your content valuable. Loyal readers are more likely to share your posts, driving organic growth.Try a Balanced Approach:
If you publish often, experiment with different types of posts: one for Google, one for Pinterest, and one for your ideal reader. See what performs best and adjust your strategy based on what resonates.Use a Conversational Tone:
Start posts like you’re writing an email to a friend, making your content feel more personal. Share stories and experiences to build a deeper connection with your audience.Why It Works:
Writing for real people creates better engagement, which helps improve your SEO over time too!

This week, we’re talking about a topic that often gets overlooked but is crucial for your blog’s success—the Sidebar. But before we jump into optimizing that little widget on the right-hand side of your blog, let’s talk briefly about some big news in the digital world. Google recently lost a significant lawsuit declaring them to be a monopoly, which could bring about major changes in the online landscape over the next few years.
While the exact impact on our blog traffic remains to be seen, this shakeup could create new opportunities for other search engines like Search GPT, Bing, and DuckDuckGo to gain traction. This could mean more eyeballs on your posts and more chances to be discovered.
Why Your Sidebar Matters More Than You ThinkNow, let’s shift our focus to something more within our control—your blog’s Sidebar. If you’re like me, you might not have paid much attention to it since you first installed your latest theme.
However, the Sidebar is a critical part of your blog’s user experience and can greatly impact your site’s performance.
I used to have an author box, an email opt-in, and even my Pinterest feed over there, thinking it was a good way to engage readers. But after learning from experts like Brandon Gailey from the Blogging Millionaire Podcast, I realized I was making some big mistakes.
The Sidebar should be optimized for performance and conversions. First, make sure your Sidebar is on the right-hand side of your blog—this is crucial for user navigation and site speed.
Avoid cluttering it with social media plugins that slow down your page. Instead, focus on your lowest hanging fruit: your email opt-in or freebie offer, followed by a widget displaying your latest 10 to 15 posts.
This setup not only improves user engagement but also helps with internal linking, which can boost your Google rankings.
Key Takeaways for a Clean and Effective SidebarTo sum it up, your Sidebar should be clean, concise, and strategically designed to promote your content and products.
Start with your most important opt-ins at the top, followed by recent posts, and finish with higher-ticket items like courses or memberships.
If you don’t have your own products yet, consider placing affiliate links—but remember to keep images minimal and optimized to avoid slowing down your site.
A well-optimized Sidebar can make a huge difference in how visitors interact with your blog and how search engines rank your site.
I hope these tips help you rethink and revamp your Sidebar. It’s a small part of your blog, but when done right, it can have a big impact.
