Why your followers aren't paying you (yet)


Howdy Reader!

Ever feel like you're shouting into the void on social media?

That's why I'm super excited to have membership expert Vincent Pugliese joining us on the show. Vincent has built some incredible communities, including his Unconference for Entrepreneurs, and he knows what it takes to turn casual followers into committed members.

On today's show, we'll dive into:

  • How to build a paid community that actually sticks around
  • Smart ways to keep engagement high (even as tech keeps changing)
  • Creating multiple income streams without burning yourself out

This is going to be a practical, no-fluff conversation that'll give you real strategies you can use right away to grow your community in 2025.

Join us LIVE today at 10 am Central and bring all your community-building questions!

See ya there!

Like watching Elaine from Seinfeld try to dance - there's movement happening, but something's definitely... off? 😅 I get it. We've all been there, copying and pasting prompts from YouTube videos, hoping they'll magically transform our workflow. (Spoiler alert: they usually don't!) That's why I'm SUPER excited to have my old friend Mike Allton on the show this week. Fun fact: Mike was actually there when I...

Howdy Reader! You know what's funny about conferences? Just when you think you've got everything figured out, our AI overlords throw you a curveball that makes your slide deck about as relevant as My Space templates.
