Jute and Olive: A Detoxified Living Journey - From Anxiety to Exponential Growth

In a world filled with social media channels, blogs, and influencers, Jute and Olive stands out as a beacon for detoxified living. Meet Desi, the visionary behind this lifestyle brand, who has been on a remarkable journey of self-discovery and growth.

With a mission to inspire individuals to live healthier and more fulfilling lives, Desi has created a space that emphasizes eliminating toxic elements from various aspects of life.

The Philosophy of Detoxifying

At the core of Jute and Olive’s philosophy is the belief in detoxifying the mind, body, home, and relationships. Desi explains, “My struggle with anxiety and panic attacks led me to identify this niche. I knew that there were many others out there who could benefit from the same transformative journey towards detoxification.”

Driven by this purpose, Desi initially wanted to create a home and garden lifestyle vlog focusing on a home renovation called The Cobblewood Project. However, life had other plans, and her experiences during the pandemic led to a shift in focus.

Post Pandemic Reboot

Desi candidly shares, “During the pandemic, my panic worsened to the point of being debilitating. It was a turning point that strengthened my passion for detoxified living. I wanted to share my journey and provide valuable resources for others facing similar challenges.”

The evolution of Jute and Olive’s content has been inspirational. “I’ve come to look at the lifestyle niche with a holistic view,” Desi says. “It’s not just about modern farmhouses and furniture; it’s about creating an environment that nurtures the mind, body, and soul. That’s what I aim to provide through my content.”

Niche Branding

Building an online presence and establishing a niche market presented its challenges. “My biggest challenge was niching down and expressing everything that encompasses my brand in one niche,” Desi admits. But dedication and persistence paid off, and now there is a growing audience of females aged 25-44.

Desi has employed paid and organic approaches to growing the audience and engagement, including collaboration with brands like Sperry and future plans to partner with names like RH and Williams Sonoma.

“Exponential growth has been a constant in the journey of Jute and Olive,” Desi proudly reveals. “My followers and page hits are increasing by 20% or more monthly.”

Consistent Growth

However, with growth comes new challenges. Desi is focused on overcoming the consistency hurdle and reaching the $100 threshold on YouTube to receive a first payout. Learning from past experiences, she now recognizes the importance of having an ad budget to fuel consistent growth and traffic.

Desi says, “I’ve learned that putting out a mass amount of content for organic growth doesn’t work for me. Having an ad budget is essential to consistent growth and traffic. Virality is great, but understanding how and why it happens can be elusive.”

While Desi continues to learn and adapt, she remains dedicated to engaging with followers and building a solid community. “I love feedback,” she says. “It allows me to double down on what’s working and adjust what isn’t. My content is for the audience, and their input is invaluable.”

An Uplifting Future

Looking towards the future, Desi envisions Jute and Olive branching out into physical products and nurturing productive partnerships with brands like Hers, Hims, and Calmigo. The aim is to increase traffic to the blog and YouTube channel, building the valuation of both libraries.

As Desi concludes, “Jute and Olive is not just a brand; it’s a journey of detoxified living. I hope it continues inspiring and uplifting others, just as it has done for me.”
