On Your Terms®
Sam Vander Wielen
A podcast for online business owners who refuse to choose between revenue and a real life. Most business advice tells you to hustle harder, post more, and "always be on." I'm here to tell you that's BS—and I have the multi-seven-figure business to prove it. I'm Sam Vander Wielen, and I've built a thriving online business while protecting my mornings, unplugging at night, and actually living the life I built my business for.
Every week, I share the marketing strategies, legal foundations, and lifestyle boundaries that keep my business profitable without stealing my peace. Whether you're building your first six figures or scaling past seven, this show will help you grow your revenue without sacrificing your presence, your sleep, or your sanity.
Because success isn't just about how much you make—it's about having the freedom to actually enjoy your life.
New to my world?
I’m a lawyer-turned-entrepreneur who built an 7-figure digital product business helping thousands of founders legally protect and grow their online businesses. These days, I’m here to share not just the legal clarity but the lessons, stories, and strategies that make business and life more fulfilling. I'm the author of the best-selling book, When I Start My Business, I'll Be Happy, and a weekly newsletter called Sam's Sidebar. Originally a proud Philly girl, I now live ON Long Island with my husband, Ryan, and bernedoodle/velcrodog, Hudson.

65. How to Build an Email List (with & without freebies!)
List building advice is everywhere these days—from putting pop-ups on your website to creating “opt-ins” that give people a reason to sign up—but most of them don’t actually help you figure out how to get people to give you their email address. People often give us these individually dialed-in tactics without providing the actual high-level strategies necessary to make email marketing work for your business.In the first of a two-part series on email lists, we’re going to talk all about easy email list-building strategies that I’ve personally tried or seen with many others. The next part will be all about what to do once you have those emails and what you should send them.In this episode, you’ll hear…04:38 - Considering whether email is right for your business11:04 - How my email list journey started17:59 - The two roads to collect emails for your list20:41 - How to position your email newsletter as inherently valuable28:20 - Using freebies to attract newsletter subscribers37:21 - Where people go wrong with freebies41:08 - Actually getting people to your list43:06 - Q&A from Ultimate Bundle® membersThank you to ReadingBard for leaving a review on Apple Podcasts!

59. How to Be a Great Stage Speaker (+ speaking tips from Guest Mike Pacchione!)
At the ConvertKit Craft + Commerce conference—which was full of mind-blowing moments for me—I attended a workshop hosted by the mega-talented speaking coach Mike Pacchione and it was so helpful. Public speaking is such an important skill to learn, and it can be a huge advantage in your business if you do it well. He gave tips and tactics I’ve never heard before such as using your body language effectively, pausing between sentences to let the audience absorb what you said, and being strategic about where you stand on stage. We talk about why speaking well is important, what makes a speaker good or bad, and whether it’s possible for a bad speaker to become great. We also talked about the areas most speakers need to improve upon (and how they can do it), three tangible things to make your speaking more entertaining, and so much more.In this episode, you’ll hear…08:58 - How Mike got into speaking17:43 - Why public speaking is so important24:29 - The qualities that make a good speaker—and a bad one34:38 - Three areas that most speakers need to improve upon41:18 - Tips for using your physical presence51:06 - How to get speaking opportunities01:00:20 - The minivan test01:04:36 - Mike answers your questionsIf you’d like a shoutout (and a chance to win a $20 gift card), just leave a review on Apple Podcasts and send a screenshot of it to me on Instagram via DMs!Click here to find the full show notes and transcript for this episode.RESOURCES:miketalks.cobestspeech.coAdam Driver’s TED TalkEpisode 54.
