In this episode, I sit down with Anabel Otero — yoga, pilates, and meditation teacher turned digital entrepreneur — to break down how she went from posting free content on YouTube to building a loyal audience of 1.3 million subscribers and a thriving paid membership business.

Anabel shares her exact journey, including:

• • How she used free challenges to convert viewers into paying members
  • Why she left Patreon and migrated her community to her own app

• • The simple promotion strategy she uses that never feels “salesy”

    Her mindset around pricing, scarcity, and creating long-term value

  • The lessons she’s learned about building a sustainable creator business

  
  

  Whether you’re a creator just getting started or a seasoned entrepreneur trying to scale, this conversation is loaded with practical, real-world insights.
