Today I’m sharing the strategy of how I got those people on the list, what’s working, what you should be paying attention to, and what it means for you and your business. An email list is incredibly important to your business because it will allow you to reach your audience more consistently and it’s something that you actually own, unlike your social media followers. Email lists are a long-term strategy that adds to the stability of your business. Join The Co-op - The Membership for Online BusinessesConnect with Abagail Instagram All the Links! In the past, I have avoided talking about email lists because I worry that they can become too much of a distraction. Utilizing a list will get you sales but if you are so focused on marketing to bring people onto the list instead of focusing on actual, tangible sales. I’m pretty confident that the majority of these new email subscribers came from seven different kinds of activities that I was doing in my business to attract those leads. I’m having a significant increase this year – way more so than in 2023 because of my focus on visibility. So, let’s dig into how I managed to do it! Episode Highlights Utilizing Old Training Programs to Attract Quality Leads [0:08:40]  Keeping Up with Trends (When You Feel Inspired to!)

If you get one thing out of the pep talk I’m about to give you, it’s this. The decisions that you make today are not ones that you are marrying forever. Regardless of what you launch, you have an opportunity. Whatever you put out into the world, whether it works or it doesn’t, is an opportunity to learn. The world is going to tell you something! And you get to listen. As business owners, we often don’t slow down and listen to this nearly as often as we should. Join The Co-op - The Membership for Online BusinessesConnect with Abagail Instagram All the Links! Not everything I have done so far has worked, and I am okay with that! I often learn more from the moments that I would deem as a failure. Today, I don’t want you to focus on what could be the most shareable digital product or what would be the most trendy thing; instead, focus on how to solve a whole problem. A template, a script, a guide, or anything designed to make a real difference. The more concrete results you can get for a client, the more they will assign value to you and your business.Episode Highlights The Story of An Early Failure That You Can Learn From How I Came Back From One of the Biggest Flops Ever What You Can Learn From My First Ever Launch A One-Step-At-A-Time Approach To Doing All the Things Your Heart Desires  Thank you for listening!

Today, I want to tell you about the process that helped me create an Instagram Reel that got me 364 free leads in under 24 hours. A Reel that has since gone on to generate more than 771 leads, and counting. Even I’m still struggling to grasp how this happened!Join The Co-op - The Membership for Online BusinessesConnect with Abagail Instagram All the Links! I'm not here to claim that I've cracked some universal marketing code or boast about one simple trick that will get you unbelievable results. Yes, what I did was incredibly simple and yielded exceptional results, but it wasn’t where I started and it’s not what made this work. It took several months of strategic planning, brainstorming, and taking action before things took off the way that they did. That’s why I’m using today’s episode to tell the full story of how I got here, and how you can take the next step in building your list of dream clients.

People often believe that in order to succeed at their work, they have to be absolutely excellent at everything that they do. But what if following that path would only lead you to burnout? Today’s episode was inspired by an article I read by Morgan Smith for CNBC. She interviewed Harvard-trained Neuroscientist and Adjunct Professor Juliet Han. Han suggests a totally different approach to growth. Rather than self-examining your strengths and weaknesses, what if you focused predominantly on your job responsibilities? Join The Co-op - The Membership for Online BusinessesConnect with Abagail Instagram All the Links! Here’s the thing, though: you’re a business owner. So, as the CEO and head of your company, what is most important for you to do? What do you need to be excellent at? What tasks do you need to be good at? What tasks can be low-effort or delegated? There are a couple of things you need to focus on to make your business thrive: cash flow, sales, and messaging. In the digital product world, it’s all about driving continuous traffic to your product rather than constantly improving the offer. Every company is different! Let’s get into it.Episode Highlights What Changes When You Figure Out What Really Drives Your Company Why Asking For a Second Opinion Could Highlight What You Really Need to Change  How to Get Out of Autopilot and Put Yourself Back in the Driver’s Seat of Your Career Getting Hyper-specific About the Types of Skills You Need Most Thank you for listening!

I don't know about you, but when I’m feeling stuck, my default is to jump straight into strategy. What's the tactical plan? What steps should I take? How do I break free from this rut? Is there a book, a podcast, a process, a checklist – anything that can guide me out? Just hand me the instruction manual, and let's get moving! But if you suspect that what's holding you back is more about mindset than your previous blocks have been, then this can be a tough place to be in, especially for those of us who thrive on logic and clear steps forward.Join The Co-op - The Membership for Online BusinessesConnect with Abagail Instagram All the Links! How do we get to the root of why we are feeling so stuck? And more importantly, how do we start feeling positive about charting a new course? But I want to take it a step further. I've compiled a list of questions that I truly believe can help us dig deep and uncover what's going on beneath the surface. I don't think the questions by themselves are as helpful as seeing the process in action. So, we're going to tackle this together. I haven't prepped my answers to these questions. Instead, I'll open up about my own struggles, my mindset obstacles, and where I'm aiming to go next. Let's dive deep into these questions together!Episode Highlights: What Do You Really Want? What Is Making You Feel Stuck? What Are You Willing To Do About It? What Are You Not Willing To Do? What’s Your First Step? What Are You Willing To Commit To? How Will You Stay Focused?
