10/14/2025
Send us a text!

163. Are You Stuck in Creator Mode When Your Business Needs a CEO?

10/7/2025
Send us a text! (Your number stays private) Have you ever poured your heart into cranking out product after product, only to watch your sales drop instead of soar? I’ve been there, and it turns out, I was stuck in what I call “creator mode.” In this episode, I’m sharing how I learned (the hard way) that sometimes what your business really needs isn’t another new thing to sell, but for you to step up and put on your CEO hat! Trust me, getting out of my comfort zone as a creator and actually leading my business has made all the difference, and I’m breaking down exactly why. We’ll dive into what creator mode really looks like for digital product sellers. Think dreaming up new ideas, designing, tweaking, and all the fun stuff we love. But then there’s CEO mode, which, let’s be honest, probably feels a lot less exciting: reviewing data, analyzing your numbers, and making strategic decisions that actually move your business forward. I’ll talk you through the big mindset shift I had to make, and why hustling in creator mode without direction can leave you feeling burned out and discouraged, even if you’re busy every single day. Most importantly, I’ll walk you through the practical systems I use now, like my monthly CEO days and simple time blocking tricks, to make sure I’m not just creating into the void. You’ll hear why both roles matter, how to balance them, and some gentle but firm encouragement to look at your own calendar. If you haven’t given yourself CEO time lately, this is your nudge to finally make it happen. Your business, and your sanity, will thank you! 00:18 – The danger of staying stuck in creator mode 01:42 – What creator mode actually looks like 03:18 – Why CEO mode matters for business growth 06:21 – How I use time blocking for CEO and creator tasks 08:40 – Simple steps to start your monthly and weekly CEO habit Links & Resources: Episode 161, I Said Yes When My Gut Said NoFollow me on Instagram @kristendoyle.co Check out my Everything Page: a one-stop shop for savvy selling!The Savvy Seller CollectiveJoin my private Facebook community: Savvy Teacher SellersMore resources for growing your TPT businessRate & review The Savvy Teacher Seller on Apple PodcastsShow Notes: https://kristendoyle.co/episode163 Feeling overwhelmed by all the things you think you need to do to grow your digital product business?

BONUS. Should You Switch Email Marketing Platforms Right Now?

9/10/2025
Send us a text! (Your number stays private) I've been watching everyone panic about switching email platforms lately - Flodesk ending flat rate pricing, Kit raising prices, Mailerlite making changes. But here's what's making me cringe: almost every post I see is driven by one thing - price. And as someone who's switched platforms 5+ times (embarrassing, I know), I had to share why not the way you should be making this decision. Your email platform is one of the most important pieces of your business. Before you jump ship to save a few bucks, there are hidden costs and better alternatives you need to consider.

Send us a text! (Your number stays private) You know that feeling when you open your WordPress dashboard and see a plugin list a mile long—some you don’t even remember installing?

In this episode, I’m sharing the five plugins I always install and why they’re non-negotiable for things like security, SEO, performance, and overall peace of mind.

158. 3 Ways I Actually Use AI (That You Probably Haven’t Tried)

7/29/2025
Send us a text! (Your number stays private) If you're only using AI to crank out social media captions or email copy, you're leaving a ton of its power on the table. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on three creative ways to use AI in your business, none of which involve sounding like a robot or churning out cookie-cutter content. These are time-saving strategies that keep your voice and help you stand out in a sea of sameness. I’ll walk you through how I use AI to turn messy voice memo brain dumps into organized, unique content plans, including the exact process I used to create this very episode! Plus, I’m sharing how my team builds streamlined SOPs using nothing more than a Loom video and an AI-generated checklist, and how I’m using AI to analyze customer feedback and uncover hidden gems that drive my content, product updates, and marketing. Spoiler alert: It’s like hiring a really smart assistant who never sleeps. And because business and life aren’t separate, I wrap things up with a few fun personal uses too, like diagnosing my sad-looking plants, generating hotel gym workouts, and even planning family travel. Whether you're brand new to AI or already dabbling, this episode will give you a fresh perspective and inspire you to try some truly creative ways to use AI in your business. 02:15 - AI for content organization (do this if you want to stand out!) 05:18 - How to easily create SOPs with AI 07:50 - Using AI to analyze customer feedback 10:11 - Fun ways I’m using AI in my personal life Links & Resources: The Savvy Seller Collective Episode 157, Are You Making These Expensive AI Mistakes?Follow me on Instagram @kristendoyle.co Check out my Everything Page: a one-stop shop for savvy selling!Join my private Facebook community: Savvy Teacher SellersMore resources for growing your TPT businessRate & review The Savvy Teacher Seller on Apple PodcastsShow Notes: https://kristendoyle.co/episode158 Tired of constantly hustling to sell your digital products?

157. Are You Making These Expensive AI Mistakes?

7/22/2025
Send us a text! (Your number stays private) AI is everywhere these days, and while it can be an amazing tool, it's also becoming a minefield of costly AI mistakes for business owners. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on some of the most common missteps I’m seeing digital product sellers make when using AI. From letting AI tools write your legal policies (please don’t!) to blindly trusting AI-generated website code, these mistakes might seem small but can lead to big problems with your credibility, performance, or even legal compliance. I walk you through why you should never use AI for things like privacy policies or contracts, and why AI code (though convenient) can easily break your site if you don’t fully understand what it’s doing. I even share a behind-the-scenes example of how my own excitement about an AI-built automation backfired. The bottom line? If you’re not double-checking AI’s output or editing it to reflect your actual brand voice, you could be hurting your business more than helping it. This episode isn’t anti-AI - far from it! I use it all the time. But we need to be savvy about how we’re using it. So if you’ve been tempted to copy-paste AI copy, take its “facts” at face value, or let it take the reins on your tech without oversight, this is your nudge to pause and rethink your approach. Tune in to hear what to avoid today, and come back next week for the creative, strategic ways I do recommend using AI in your business. 01:24 - Using AI for legal content like privacy policies or contracts 04:00 - Letting AI generate website code without understanding it 06:52 - Trusting AI-generated “facts” without verifying 08:34 - Copy-pasting AI-generated copy without editing for brand voice Links & Resources: TermageddonWordPress Care PlanEpisode 148, The 15-Minute Weekly Plan: How AI Helped Me Stop Wasting My Best Brain HoursFollow me on Instagram @kristendoyle.co Check out my Everything Page: a one-stop shop for savvy selling!The Savvy Seller CollectiveJoin my private Facebook community: Savvy Teacher SellersMore resources for growing your TPT businessRate & review The Savvy Teacher Seller on Apple PodcastsShow Notes: https://kristendoyle.co/episode157 Tired of constantly hustling to sell your digital products?

156. The Candy Crush Rule for Social Media Success with Kate Gilbert

7/15/2025
Send us a text! (Your number stays private) Social media has never been my favorite part of business. Like many of you, I’ve spent more time than I’d like to admit spiraling over what to post and how it might be received. But this episode with Kate Gilbert flipped my mindset entirely. Kate is a business coach with a unique blend of tough love and grace, and she’s on a mission to help entrepreneurs ditch the pressure and show up online with authenticity. Kate isn’t here for hustle culture or the pressure to post daily. Instead, she brings a refreshingly compassionate perspective—one that treats social media more like a casual kitchen party than a constant performance. Her signature “Candy Crush rule” helped me reframe the algorithm not as a judge, but as just a system. What really matters is showing up with intention, on your own terms. In a world where AI-generated everything is the norm, Kate reminds us that being real is actually our greatest asset. She shares powerful stories of entrepreneurs who built trust and connection by showing up as their imperfect selves—moldy fridges and all. If social media has ever made you doubt yourself, this episode will help you see it as a tool for connection, not perfection! 03:30 - Overcoming feelings of social media anxiety 11:10 - What is the candy crush rule for social media success? 16:49 - Vanity metrics don’t equal business success (and what we SHOULD be focusing on instead) 21:46 - Social media as an important touchpoint, even for introverts 24:51 - Authenticity trumps perfection in our current low-trust environment Links & Resources: Follow me on Instagram @kristendoyle.coKate's Free "YIKES!

153. What Nobody Tells You About Sales Funnels

6/24/2025
Send us a text! (Your number stays private) Do you view sales funnels as some kind of sleazy marketing trap, or think they’re way too complicated to even attempt? That’s exactly why I recorded this episode. I’m breaking down what nobody tells you about sales funnels: that they can actually be simple, ethical, and—dare I say it—kind of fun to build.

151. Stop Making Your Website a Vanity Project

6/10/2025
Send us a text! (Your number stays private) You poured time and money into a beautiful new website - sleek fonts, perfect colors, and brand photos you’re proud of - but somehow, your sales haven’t moved an inch. Sound familiar? In this episode, I’m diving into one of the biggest myths I see in the online business space: that a polished, pretty website is the key to more conversions. If you’ve been tempted to tweak your colors and fonts (again) instead of digging into the real issues, it’s time to rethink your website conversion strategy. I’m sharing the top mistake I see digital product creators make on their homepage, why design alone won’t drive sales, and what actually turns browsers into buyers. Think of it this way: a stunning boutique without a checkout counter won’t sell a thing…and neither will a website without a strategy! Don’t worry, I’m not against good design. I want your website to look amazing—but only after your strategy is in place. If you’re ready to create a website that actually converts, this episode will give you the clarity you need. And if you’re craving personalized support, book a free Website Gameplan call to map out exactly how your site can work smarter to get more sales. 02:12 - Why pretty doesn’t equal profit 04:46 - The biggest mistake I see people make on their website 06:00 - Getting clear on your website conversion strategy before tackling the design 09:05 - Three quick things to check to determine if your website needs updates Links & Resources: Book your free Website Gameplan call!Follow me on Instagram @kristendoyle.co Check out my Everything Page: a one-stop shop for savvy selling!The Savvy Seller CollectiveJoin my private Facebook community: Savvy Teacher SellersMore resources for growing your TPT businessRate & review The Savvy Teacher Seller on Apple PodcastsShow Notes: https://kristendoyle.co/episode151 Tired of constantly hustling to sell your digital products?
