“If you want to monetize [a blog], digital products are kind of where it’s at these days… the key is finding a niche category.”
— Whitney English
What if you could crack the code of getting your child to LOVE vegetables?
Dieticians Whitney English and Alex Caspero have. Whitney and Alex are the founders of Plant-Based Juniors (AKA PBJ), an online community for parents looking for evidence-based resources and advice for adopting safe, healthy, plant-based diets for their kids and during pregnancy. They’re also the authors of The Plant-Based Baby and Toddler, among other books devoted to plant-based prenatal and pediatric nutrition.
The PBJ community isn’t just for vegans — it’s for anyone looking to get more vegetables on their plates!
The market responded strongly to the launch of PBJ, which has been featured in Women’s Health, Eating Well, and The Bump. Together, Alex and Whitney have successfully grown PBJ into a thriving, profitable community — despite living in different states and time zones!
In this conversation, we discuss the popularity of plant-based products, how they monetized PBJ, and how they got a book deal.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
✔ How they dealt with the challenge of launching PBJ while running multiple businesses
✔ The strategy they used to expand their range of digital products
✔ Whether the new wave of processed plant-based alternatives are actually healthy
