Why Selling Your Own Stuff is SO Hard (And How to Fix It)
|
Howdy Reader! Selling stinks. When I worked for other people, I had no problem selling our services. I love recommending great products and services from brands and influencers that I know, like, and trust. So why is it so hard to actually sell our OWN products and services? Listen, I’ve heard all the sales tropes like, “you sell the sizzle, not the steak.” Or, “go after the low-hanging fruit.” And even “this is a win-win situation for both of us!” Now, if I had a tree with low-hanging sizzling steaks, THAT would be a win-win. I’d never leave the yard! Seriously though, selling is hard and not something that comes naturally to a lot of people. That’s why I’m really excited to shine the spotlight on selling on today’s show. I was blown away when I saw Conor Brown speak on the art of selling at Momentum this past year. (Don’t tell him that; I’d never hear the end of it.) He helped everyone who listened become more confident in selling their products and services, and I know he can help you, too. So join us today at 10 am central and ask your questions on selling that you’ve always been afraid to ask. See ya there, -Jeff Are you looking for powerful features without sticker shock?

Howdy Reader! My friend Lou Mongello left a career in law to build a business around something he genuinely loves. Not as a side hustle.Not as a hobby.As a real company. Through his WDW Radio podcast and community, he’s built events, books, live experiences, and multiple revenue streams, inside a very specific niche. That didn’t happen by accident. This Friday on Creator News Live, Lou joins us to talk about what actually turns content into income. We’ll dig into: How to think about...
Howdy Reader! Listen, I know it’s weird to promote another person’s podcast in your own email…BUTThis is an exception I think you’ll thank me for. My friend Paul Gowder of PowWows.com and PaulGowder.com was just featured on Social Media Examiner’s podcast. They must have figured out what we’ve known for a long time…Paul is a master when it comes to email. We’ve had Paul on quite a bit on Creator News Live, and he’s always delivered, so I wanted to make sure you didn’t miss this episode since...
Howdy Reader! Have you ever looked at your email list and thought… “I should be further along by now.” More subscribers. More replies. More revenue. But growth feels inconsistent. Or flat.

She’s analyzed hundreds of newsletter growth strategies and built her own list to more than 40,000 subscribers. We’re not chasing random tactics.
