But too often? It’s a PDF graveyard.
Another half-baked checklist.
A glorified opt-in box that screams, “I made this because someone on Instagram told me I had to.”

The Problem With “Try This!” Marketing Advice (And What to Do Instead)

You ask for help in your mastermind, coaching call, or group chat. You’ve hit a snag in your marketing strategy, and you’re genuinely looking for clarity.

Instead? You get a firehose of ideas.

“Have you tried a webinar funnel?”
“Oh! I just saw someone launch with a live challenge—maybe that?”
