Join Mediavine for Modern Monetization for Creators, a Virtual Tastemaker Conference live session where we’ll break down the strategies that separate high-earning sites from the rest, including RPM optimization without sacrificing user experience, income streams beyond display ads, seasonal planning, and how to turn your highest-traffic posts into your highest-revenue assets. If you’re ready for a sharper approach to what your site can earn, this session is built for you.

As AI reshapes search, traffic, and income for bloggers and influencers, many creators are afraid their businesses won’t survive the shift. In this practical, grounding session, fiduciary financial advisor and Wealth Manager for Creative Entrepreneurs, Shannon Avery, AAMS®, will show you how to protect your business, your earning power, and your long‑term financial future in an AI‑driven world.

You’ll learn how creators who treat their blogs like true media companies can still thrive, even as algorithms and tools change, and how to shore up the vulnerable parts of your business model. Shannon will walk you through clear strategies to stabilize cash flow, build a stronger safety net, and turn today’s income into lasting wealth, so you’re not at the mercy of any single platform or technology trend.

You’ll leave with a simple framework for evaluating your own risk and resilience, plus concrete next steps to “AI‑proof” both your business and personal finances. This session is designed for content creators at every stage who want confidence that their financial future can stay solid, no matter how the tools evolve.

Google search traffic is drying up, and waiting for it to come back isn’t a strategy. In this session, Christie Vanover shares the exact system she built after watching her own six-figure blog lose search clicks despite doing everything “right.” You’ll learn how to take content you’ve already published and turn it into steady, repeatable traffic on Facebook, Pinterest, and email using simple AI tools. No new content ideas required, no daily scrambling, and no reliance on an algorithm you don’t control. This isn’t a hack. It’s a repeatable system that put Facebook ahead of Google as a traffic source in just 60 days.

Got a website problem, technical question, or something you’ve always wondered about but never knew who to ask? NerdPress is opening the floor for an interactive AMA built entirely around creator questions.

You didn’t start creating so you could spend your days buried in emails, approvals, endless to-do lists, and a business that can’t function without you. Yet that’s exactly where many successful creators end up. In this session, Kelli Quinn shares the biggest mindset shifts and practical systems that separate creators who own their businesses from those who are owned by them. You’ll learn how to identify where you’ve become the bottleneck, make better decisions about what deserves your time, and build simple systems that create more freedom without sacrificing growth, creativity, or ambition.

What if AI isn’t actually destroying your business, but exposing which parts of it were vulnerable in the first place? As search traffic and ad revenue continue to decline, the creators who thrive won’t be the ones producing more content; they’ll be the ones building something that can’t be summarized, scraped, or generated. The same expertise that made you a successful creator can become the foundation of knowledge, identity, & experiences that AI can’t replicate – and that audiences will happily pay for. In this session, you’ll explore a practical framework for transforming the expertise you already have into premium learning experiences, communities, and high-value offerings that deepen audience loyalty while creating revenue beyond pageviews. You’ll leave with concrete, immediately actionable ideas for designing content and experiences that audiences don’t just consume – they’re proud to belong to.
