A few weeks ago, I started noticing comments on my ads asking, "Is this class actually free?"

At first I was confused. Then I realized: people have been burned so many times by things that were advertised as free and weren't, that they felt like they had to ask.
And I just sat with that for a minute. Because that's where we are now.

Buyers aren't being difficult. They're being careful. They've seen a lot of overpromising and underdelivering, and they've learned to protect themselves. The skepticism coming into your funnel right now isn't personal. It's earned, just not by you.

The good news is that trust, once built, is incredibly powerful. And in episode 293 of On Your Terms®, I talk about how to build it in a way that actually converts, even in a market that's more guarded than ever.

Wondering if digital products are still worth selling in 2026? Sam shares her honest take after 10 years and $9M in digital product sales, including why buyer skepticism is rising and the 6 things your product needs to succeed today.

06/16/2026

I remember sitting at my desk in 2016, working more hours than I ever did as a lawyer, and watching other people online talk about how easy all of this was.

"Work from anywhere." "Make money while you sleep." "Build it once and let it run."
And I'm thinking... is that what's happening? Because I am absolutely grinding over here.

That gap between what was being sold and what was actually true caught up with the industry. Buyers got burned. Trust eroded. And now the market looks a lot different than it did back then.

I've had to adapt a lot over the past decade to stay ahead of those changes. And in episode 293 of On Your Terms®, I'm walking you through exactly what's shifted and what I think it actually takes to build a digital product that sells in today's world.

No fluff, no hype. Just what I've learned after doing this for 10 years.

Everywhere I go lately, people are talking to me like they're attending my business's funeral.

"How are... things?" 👀

And I'm standing there like... things are great? My business keeps growing. But I get why people are asking.

There is so much noise right now about how digital products are dead, courses are dead, the whole online business thing is over. And I'll be honest: the market HAS shifted. It IS harder than it used to be. I've felt it firsthand after 10 years and $9M in digital product sales.

But harder is not the same as dead.

In this week's episode of On Your Terms®, I'm sharing exactly what's changed, why buyer skepticism is at an all-time high, and the six things your digital product needs to actually sell in 2026.

If you have a course, program, or digital product and you've been feeling the shift, this one is for you.

I'll be honest, I used to think reels were optional. Like, a nice-to-have if you had extra time and energy. And then I got a book deal, and I realized the audience I'd built through video content was the whole reason it happened.

I know reels can feel like a lot. The editing, the hooks, the algorithms, the pressure to make something people actually watch. But I genuinely believe there is a way to use Instagram that doesn't require you to be on your phone around the clock or turn yourself into someone you're not.

That's what I'm talking about in episode 292 of On Your Terms®. The real, practical, business-owner version of making reels, not the influencer version.

When it comes to Instagram Reels, which of these sounds most like you?

1️⃣ I've been meaning to start but I can't figure out where to even get ideas
2️⃣ I film them and never post them
3️⃣ I post them but they never seem to do anything
4️⃣ I've just decided reels aren't for me

Let me know in the comments!

Because no matter which one you picked, I recorded episode 292 of On Your Terms® for you. I'm breaking down the exact process I use to go from blank ideas list to a full month of batched, filmed, and scheduled reels, without living on my phone.

Filming day at my house is A Whole Entire Event. 😂

We're talking hair. Nails. The full Sandra Bullock in Miss Congeniality situation. And I genuinely dread it every time... until I remember that if I just get it done in one shot, I'm free.

That's the whole secret to making reels consistently without losing your mind: you batch everything. Ideation day. Scripting day. Filming day. Three separate days, three separate tasks, and suddenly you have a month's worth of content without ever feeling like Instagram has taken over your life.

I walk through exactly how I do it in episode 292 of On Your Terms®. If you've been avoiding reels because the whole thing feels like too much, this one's for you.

Real talk: if your reels aren't working, it might not be the video itself. It might be what you're doing at the very end.

I had a friend send me a reel asking why it wasn't getting any engagement. I watched it and thought, "This is actually good." But when it ended, she just... stopped talking. No ask. No direction. Nothing.

Here's the thing: people are busy. They are constantly being hit with the next piece of content. If you don't tell them what to do next, they will just scroll on by.

Every reel needs a clear call to action. Every single one.

In this week's episode of On Your Terms®, I break down the full framework I use to script, film, and batch reels as a real business owner, including what a call to action should actually sound like (hint: it's simpler than you think).

You've sat down to film a reel. You pressed record. You hated how you looked. You deleted it. You told yourself you'd try again next week.

Next week came and went.

I've been there. Most business owners have. And honestly? I think the reason it feels so hard isn't that you're bad at video. It's that the advice you've been given was never meant for you in the first place.

Most reels content out there is aimed at people who want to become influencers, not people who are running real businesses and just need Instagram to bring in clients.

That's exactly why I recorded this week's episode of On Your Terms®. I'm walking you through the whole thing: how I find ideas, how I structure and script a reel, how I film it, and how I batch everything so I'm not starting from scratch every single week.

No dances. No pressure to go viral. Just what actually works.

To every entrepreneur who has ever felt behind because you're not doing all the things...

This episode is for you. ❤️

I recorded Episode 291 of On Your Terms® specifically to show you what building a seven-figure business actually looks like behind the scenes. Not the polished highlight reel. The real version.

Including the stuff I'm a little embarrassed to admit. Like not knowing what some of my business tools cost per month. (My friend Nathan Barry, CEO of Kit, grilled me about this in front of a whole room of people. Still recovering.) 😂

But here's what I know: the habits that look messy from the outside are sometimes the ones doing the most work.

Go listen and let me know which one hits closest to home. 🎧

Sam built a multi-seven-figure business doing a lot of things every marketing guru tells me not to do. Here are 11 "bad habits" — the stuff she skips, ignores, or refuses to fix — that actually built it.

06/04/2026

Hot take: everything they're telling you to do might be what's actually keeping you stuck.

The constant hustle. The perfectly engineered morning routine. The six-month content calendar. The pressure to be on every single platform the moment it launches.

What if that's not what success actually looks like?

I've been running a seven-figure online business for years, and I can tell you with full confidence: I don't do most of what the internet says I'm supposed to do.
And I think that's a big part of why it works.

Episode 291 of On Your Terms® is my most behind-the-scenes episode yet. I'm sharing all 11 of my "bad habits" and why I think each one has contributed more to my success than any productivity hack ever could.
