What To Do In The 48 Hours After A Podcast Interview
Three things are true at once in that window, and they're never true together again:
The host just spent an hour enjoying your company and thinks well of you right now, specifically. Their audience, if the episode is live, is at peak curiosity about you. And you still remember exactly what you said, which matters more than it sounds like it should.
Why Summit Leads Don't Buy (And What To Do Instead)
That last group is your people. The rest are guests in someone else's house who happened to walk past your door.
Your Email List Is Growing. Your Sales Aren't. Here's Why.
A growing email list without matching sales usually means you have a conversion problem, not a traffic problem. More visibility won't fix it.
I know. That's the sentence that ruins your Monday. Take a breath. Let's actually look at it.
Marketing in the Age of AI: Why the Prompt Isn't the Problem
And yes, AI makes all of this easier. It's lightning fast at taking one thought and turning it into bits and pieces that work across a bunch of different platforms. One idea, stretched into an email, a few social posts, a note for the podcast, before lunch. I love that part of it. Genuinely.
But there's a lot of prompting snake oil out there too.
Yes, Put Your Seasonal Offer in Your Email Signature (Here's Why)
Should I add an offer I only launch seasonally — the one that isn't always open — to my standing offer signature?"
Short answer: maybe.
Likely answer: yes.
The Real Reason Your "Work With Me" P.S. Isn't Selling
A menu of offers is roughly 10% of what most readers actually need to make a buying decision. The other 90% is everything that turns a curious reader into someone who clicks and buys.
Build an Email List That Actually Buys: Start With This One Email
And no, I'm not talking about "training your audience to buy." Barf. They're whole humans. They don't need to be trained. They need to feel welcome and connected.
So let's talk about one of my favorite ways to start shifting the tide to an email list that actually buys from you.
Why Marketing Feels So Damn Hard
After years of helping established business owners untangle their marketing, I've watched the same two gaps show up again and again. They're not flashy. They're not new. But fixing them changes everything about how the rest of your marketing performs.
Why Your Collaborations Feel Like a Lot of Work for Not Enough Return
You can't be strategic about collaborations if you don't have a strategy to be strategic against. You need a plan of your own to measure every incoming ask against. Goals for the quarter. A content thread you're actually committed to. Offers you're warming people up to buy. A clear picture of who you want more of on your list and what you want them to do when they get there.
What to Do After Visibility: Why Being Seen Doesn’t Automatically Lead to Sales
Visibility is a moment.
What happens after that moment is what determines whether it actually helps your business grow.
That is the part people skip.
They pour energy into getting seen, but not nearly enough into what someone is supposed to do once they arrive.
Collaborations Are Not Automatically a Strategy
Because a collaboration is not a strategy just because your face was on someone else’s screen.
And if you have ever said yes to something that looked amazing on paper but did absolutely nothing useful for your business afterward, you already know this.
How to Build Systems That Feel Human (And Still Scale)
You can build systems.
You should build systems.
But if your systems are designed to remove you instead of support you?
That’s when the quiet resentment creeps in.
And resentment is not a growth strategy.
Why Urgency Marketing Doesn’t Work Like It Used To (And What To Do Instead)
They are seasoned.
They are high-intent.
And they are protective of their time, energy, and nervous systems.
When you compress their decision window aggressively, they don’t think:
“Ooo, exciting.”
They think:
“Why are you rushing me?”
Buyer Readiness: The Missing Middle Most Marketing Ignores
Experienced buyers hesitate more — not less.
Because they understand ripple effects.
And if your marketing mislabels that as resistance?
You start solving the wrong problem.
Why Buyer Hesitation Isn’t About Price or Confidence
If you’ve ever wondered why people hesitate to buy—especially when the offer is good, the price is fair, and the messaging is clear—you’re not alone. And the answer isn’t what most marketing advice would have you believe.
Because buyer hesitation isn’t about price.
And it’s rarely about confidence.
Why Some Marketing Converts, and Some Just Feels… Meh
If Booth and Brennan were marketing?
I’d be reading the social posts thinking, Why does this feel slightly off?
Then I’d keep scrolling.
And Googling.
And clicking on someone else.
But Ross and Rachel?
I’m in.
Hospitality-Driven Marketing: The Algorithm-Proof Strategy That Never Goes Out of Style
At its core, hospitality-driven marketing is about folding genuine, thoughtful, relationship-centered care into every touchpoint of your marketing.
Not in a performative way.
Not in a “let me fake warmth so you’ll buy” way.
But in a very real, very human way.
It’s the shift from:
“Look at me!”
to “I see you.”
The Marketing Platform I Actually Use in My Own Business (Not Just Recommend)
This search made me realize how much I desperately love Enji, the marketing software this marketer folds into my own business.
This isn’t some “I played with a free trial for three days, and now I’m an expert” review.
This is: I use Enji. I pay for Enji, and have since mid-2024. I build my marketing life inside Enji.
So let’s talk about why.
Unreasonable Hospitality: The Missing Strategy in Your Copy, Marketing, and Online Business
As a copywriter and strategist, I’ve been exploring what “unreasonable hospitality” means beyond food and service industries.
Here’s what it looks like in online business:
Should You Even Do a Black Friday Sale? A Spicy Guide to Strategy, Pricing & Copy that Doesn’t Backfire
What is the actual job of this Black Friday promotion?
Some real, solid answers might be:
“I want a quick cash injection before year-end.”
“I want more people in my world—email list, community, low-ticket ecosystem.”
“I want more book sales so I can boost my rankings and reviews. Best seller here I come!”
“I want to do something special for my existing audience as a thank-you.”
Those are all valid. Strategy loves clarity.
