What is and what isn't working in online business in 2026
The online business world has changed. A lot. The strategies that worked during peak course-era and post-COVID online growth just don’t hit the same anymore. Buyer behavior has shifted. AI is everywhere. Attention is fragmented. And many creators are quietly pivoting. So what’s actually working now? And more importantly, what will still work in 2026 and beyond? In this episode, I’m breaking down: Why digital courses aren’t as easy to sell as they once were Why people are craving connection more than content dumps The rise of community-based offers, both online and offline The ongoing importance of content and how to monetize it strategically Why done-for-you services and freelancing remain underrated income paths If you’ve been wondering whether you should still create a course… pivot to community… focus on content… or explore service-based offers instead, this episode will help you zoom out and think long term. Digital products are not dead. But the way we sell, package, and support them has evolved. This is about building something sustainable in a landscape that no longer rewards quick, generic offers. It’s about leaning into connection, positioning, and offers that reflect where the market is actually heading. And if you need a reminder that sometimes even switching your desk around can unlock new creative energy… you’ll get that too. Tune in and let’s talk about building smarter for 2026.
