Why Some People Get Invited to Everything (And Others Don't) [Ep 272]
Episode 272
Show notes
>> SPONSORED BY FIND COLAB - findcolab.com - the collaboration directory where you discover the bundles, podcast slots and partnerships you didn't know existed, and where you keep every one of them on track once you're in. <<
In this episode I'm sharing five things that make someone an incredible collaboration partner, and why building genuine relationships might be one of the most underrated audience growth strategies out there.
Because collaborations aren't just about getting in front of someone else's audience. They're about building relationships with the people who already HAVE those audiences - and when you get that right? One collaboration can lead to opportunities you never even knew existed.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
• How to make it ridiculously easy for people to say YES to collaborating with you
• Why following through on your commitments matters more than you might realise
• How genuinely supporting your collaboration partners can lead to more opportunities
• The biggest mistake people make AFTER a collaboration ends
• Why being intentional about your collaborations is better than saying yes to everything
• How one collaboration can turn into multiple opportunities for audience growthPlus, I'm giving you a simple challenge to try this week that could help you reconnect with someone already in your network.
Remember: The collaboration might have an end date. The relationship doesn't have to.

If I Needed to Make an Extra $1,000, Here's What I'd Do [Ep 271]
Episode 271
Show notes
When we want to make more money, our first instinct is often to create another offer. A workshop, a mini course, a template, a new service… and before we know it, we've spent weeks building something without actually making any sales.
But what if there's a simpler way?
In this episode of The Email Growth Show, I'm sharing exactly where I'd look if I wanted to generate an extra $1,000 in my business this month, without creating a brand-new product.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
• How to find opportunities to make more sales from products and services you already have
• Why unused capacity in your calendar could be a revenue opportunity
• How to repurpose existing workshops, trainings and resources into something people can buy
• Why your audience, email list, podcast and community are valuable business assets
• How to work backwards from a $1,000 revenue goal to figure out what you actually need to sell
• Why protecting your time, energy and audience trust matters when creating additional revenue
• The new Borrow My Podcast experiment I'm testing inside my own businessPlus, I'm giving you a simple challenge: If you weren't allowed to create anything new for the next 30 days, how would you make an extra $1,000?

Before You Add Anything Else to Your Q4 Plan… [Ep 270]
Episode 270
Show notes
In this episode of The Email Growth Show, I'm sharing why I think the advice to "just be consistent" is missing something REALLY important, how I'm approaching Q4 after a busy September, and the three areas I'd look at before deciding where to focus your time and energy.
Because you can be incredibly consistent and still not grow your business… if you're consistently working on the wrong things.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
• Why "just be consistent" isn't actually a business strategy
• How to stop treating every new month or quarter like a fresh start
• Why your business should have a memory (and what that actually means!)
• The three areas to assess before planning Q4: Discovery → Relationship → Revenue
• How to identify the real bottleneck that's stopping your business from growing
• How to focus your consistency on the activities that genuinely move your business forwardPlus, I'm sharing a little behind the scenes of my own September, including launching Black Friday Made Simple and Find CoLab, and why I'm heading into the final quarter of the year focused on making what I've already built work harder.

Your Subscribers Like Your Emails… So Why Don't They Buy? [Ep 269]
Episode 269
Show notes
In this episode of The Email Growth Show, we're talking about the gap between having an engaged email list and having an email list that actually generates sales.
Because being great at nurturing isn't automatically the same as being great at selling - and if you've spent so much time trying not to annoy your subscribers that you rarely tell them what they can actually buy from you, that might be the missing piece.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
• Why an engaged email list doesn't automatically equal a buying email list
• How we can accidentally overcorrect on nurturing and barely sell at all
• The difference between mentioning an offer and actually making an offer
• The simple Friday sales email rhythm I'm building into my own business
• What to check before assuming you need a new offer, bigger list or completely different strategy
• A simple four-week email audit to see whether you're actually giving subscribers enough opportunities to buyBecause if your subscribers love your emails but aren't becoming customers, it doesn't necessarily mean you have the wrong audience or the wrong offer.
You might simply be giving them plenty of reasons to read - and not enough reasons to buy.

Episode 268
Show notes
Mara Riopel and I have never had a catch-up where one of us wasn't walking through something hard. So when we sat down to record this one for both of our podcasts, we went straight to the real stuff.
We talk about how to keep building through heavy seasons, why visibility and traffic are two different jobs, how to pick a traffic strategy that fits your actual capacity, and what to do when the program you paid for doesn't give you what you hoped.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
• Why your business can be your anchor (and your escape) in a hard season
• Pivoting your business model when your capacity changes
• Visibility vs traffic, and the simple filter I use for every task
• Mara's $23,000 mastermind lesson and what "coach hurt" really looks like

The Black Friday That Made The Least $$ (and Grew My List the Most) [Ep 267]
Episode 267
Show notes
This episode almost stayed tucked away inside a much smaller series. I recorded it as the opening episode of The Black Friday Case Files, a run of interviews I did with other business owners about their real Black Friday sales, wins and flops included. But listening back to it, I realised it didn't belong somewhere only a small group of people would ever hear it.
So here it is on the main show.
I walk through three real years of my own Black Friday, three completely different strategies, and the honest numbers behind each one, including the year I made the least money and somehow grew my email list more than any other year I've run.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
• Three different Black Friday approaches I've actually run, not theory
• Why the year with the worst sales numbers did the most for my list
• What I'd tell myself if I were starting this year's Black Friday from scratchLinks mentioned:

The 3-Day Launch Strategy I'm Using to Create More Revenue [Ep 266]
Episode 266
Show notes
In this episode of The Email Growth Show, I'm pulling back the curtain on why I'm launching more often (but for less time), how I'm using these small promotional windows to create injections of revenue, and why Black Friday might be the perfect opportunity to sell something you already have rather than rushing to create something new.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
• Why a launch doesn't have to mean launching something new
• How I'm using simple three-day launches in my own business
• Why your audience probably hasn't seen your offer as much as you think they have
• What I'd send during a simple three-day promotional window
• Different ways to create urgency without automatically discounting
• Why Black Friday is a reason to sell, not necessarily a reason to createBecause before you create another course, workshop, template or offer...
Maybe you just need to sell the thing you've already made.Links mentioned in this episode:

The Low-Lift Way I'm Growing My List Right Now [Ep 265]
Episode 265
Show notes
I ran my first audio pop-up event in years last month, and today I'm giving you the real numbers - including the part that flopped.
Back in 2022, these tiny audio pop-ups grew my list by 100–150 people at a time. I brought them back this year as a monthly, low-lift growth engine instead of another giant summit. This episode is the full debrief: what worked, what didn't, and why I'm still calling it a win.
What you'll learn in this episode:
• Why I chose scrappy Voxer-style audio interviews over a big polished summit
• The real August numbers - 303 signups, 370+ downloads, and just one $97 season pass sale
• Why a "failed" launch metric doesn't mean the event failed
• How much the event actually warmed people up for my Break Up With Instagram launch (and what that told me)
• Exactly how I find new collaborators without cold-pitching strangersLinks mentioned:

Claude vs Claude Code vs the Chrome Extension - with Anita Mac [Ep 264]
Episode 264
Show notes
I thought I was already pretty good at using AI - custom ChatGPT bots, strategic prompts, the whole thing. Then my biz bestie Anita Mac, AI strategist and founder of Biz Bestie Club, showed me what Claude could actually do, and it broke my brain a little.
This week Anita joins me to break down the real difference between Claude, Claude Code, and the Chrome extension, why she never lets AI output go out the door without humanising it first, and how she built an entire membership sales page - copy, design and all - in under two hours.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
• The "human-AI sandwich" - why you should never just copy-paste AI output
• The real difference between Claude.ai, Claude Code, and the Chrome extension
• Why Projects are the one Claude feature most people skip (and shouldn't)
• The small habits that stop your Claude account running out of tokens
• How Anita built a full sales page - copy, design and all - in under two hoursLinks Mentioned:

Your Audience Isn't Too Small - You Need More Ways to Be Discovered [Ep 263]
Episode 263
Show notes
>> Audience Growth Pop-Up (Aug 24-28, free): https://listen.kyliekelly.com/ <<
In this episode, I'm breaking down why "audience size" and "audience security" are two completely different things - and why the fix for a launch that flopped is almost never a new offer. It's my "doors" framework for building a business with more than one way for the right people to find you.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
• Why "no one wants this" is usually a discovery problem, not an offer problem
• The difference between audience size and audience security
• My "doors" analogy for building an ecosystem instead of one giant audience
• Why one touchpoint was never meant to create one sale on its own
• Why email is where the relationship continues - not where discovery happens
• The exact action step: how to audit your doors and build just one moreMentioned in this episode:

This week I'm joined by Katherine Mackenzie-Smith - business coach and strategist for introverts and highly sensitive entrepreneurs, and creator of the Cozy Business framework - to talk about giving yourself permission to build a business that actually fits your energy, and how to plan the rest of the year without burning out trying to catch up.

Note [added after recording]: Since recording this episode, my Meta Ads account was unexpectedly disabled while under review. The results and numbers shared in this episode were accurate at the time of recording. If anything, the experience reinforced one of the biggest lessons you'll hear in this episode: don't rely on a single traffic source. Diversifying how people discover your business isn't just smart marketing - it's good business.
Over the past couple of weeks, I've been running a little experiment that honestly made me question everything - in the best possible way. I launched Meta ads to complete strangers before I'd even finished creating my brand-new digital product. Yep… slightly unhinged, but surprisingly effective.
But this episode isn't really about Meta ads.
It's about what happened when I put my work in front of people who didn't already know, like and trust me - and why it reminded me that most business owners don't have an offer problem.
They have a traffic problem.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
• Why selling to cold traffic triggered a whole new level of imposter syndrome.
• The surprising numbers from my first Meta ads experiment.
• Why traffic is often the missing piece behind slow sales.
• How I'm building a business around systems instead of constant launching.
• Why diversifying your traffic sources is one of the smartest moves you can make.Mentioned in this episode:

Why I Moved From Kit to Flodesk - & Why This Isn't Really About Email Software [Ep 256]
Episode 256
Show notes
I recently made a business decision that surprised a lot of people… I moved my entire email list from Kit to Flodesk. But this isn't a "Kit vs Flodesk" episode.
It's a conversation about something much bigger: how your business evolves, how your priorities shift, and why the tools that got you here aren't always the tools that will get you there.
In this episode, I'm sharing why I made the move, what changed in my business, and the questions every business owner should be asking as they grow.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
• Why I moved from Kit to Flodesk after four years
• How changing business models changes your software decisions
• The hidden cost of complexity in your business
• Why loyalty to tools isn't a strategy
• The question every business owner should ask regularly: "Does this still fit?"Mentioned:
