Megan chats with Josh Gale about using Facebook to unlock a powerful new revenue stream through consistent content, smart reposting, and platform specific strategy. Bio: Josh, creator of The Chef Out West, is a rapidly growing content creator with a booming social media presence. In just eight months, he has grown his audience to 325K on Instagram and 512K on Facebook, gaining thousands of new followers daily. He also runs a Substack community of 23K subscribers, built in only five months. With recent Facebook monetization generating over $10,000 in a single month from views alone, Josh brings valuable insight into high-performing content and audience growth. His platforms reached approximately 50 million views on Facebook, 44 million on Instagram, and 150K on Substack in the past month, making him a compelling voice on content strategy and growth. This episode breaks open a major opportunity most food bloggers are overlooking. Facebook is quietly paying creators for views, and the barrier to entry is lower than you think. If you are relying heavily on brand deals or struggling to scale revenue, this conversation gives you a clear path to diversify income using content you are already creating. Key Topics Discussed: - Facebook monetization is accessible with relatively low thresholds. - View based revenue can scale quickly with consistent posting. - Posting multiple times daily increases chances of viral reach. - Repurposing and re editing old content drives new growth. - Longer videos generate higher earnings per view. - Consistency matters more than perfection.

What if a year of creating content barely moved your follower count, but changed everything about how you create? In this solo episode, I share the honest story behind my year of experimenting with short-form video: the discouraging stretches, the unexpected joy, and the moment I nearly walked away. After months of publishing consistently, I had gained just 800 Instagram followers. Then, hours after I finally decided this story was worth sharing, my overnight apple oatmeal reel took off.. reaching 7 million views and counting. But the biggest lessons came before that breakthrough. I'm sharing what helped me understand why people keep watching, how I started using analytics without letting numbers dictate every creative decision, and why protecting time to experiment has mattered so much. In this episode, you'll learn: • How opening with the process (and holding back the finished result) can create curiosity. • Why a strong opening needs a series of unresolved questions to keep viewers watching. • What skip rates, shares, and saves can teach you beyond the view count. • How curiosity, emotion, utility, and connection shape the way people respond to your content. • Why creative joy and growing skills deserve consideration alongside followers and financial ROI. If you've been creating consistently and wondering whether your effort is going anywhere, this episode is for you.
