About this episode

Want to learn how to build a repeatable, manageable system to actually make socials generate big bucks for you?

We’re not talking spamming shitty AI images to boomers on Facebook or Pinterest.
We’re talking *building a real business that will survive platform changes*, unlike many of the tactics floating around these days.

In this episode, we chat with Lucy Simkins to reveal how she transformed her side hustle to a 7 figure per year business - in one of the most competitive markets - without relying on Google at all.

We break down her exact content creation process for achieving incredible reach, unique lead capturing strategies, and exactly what works (and doesn't!) in her sales funnels.
Lucy was incredibly generous with information throughout the interview, so whether you're learning how to use social to build an email list, or how to monetize it, this episode has something for you.
