    126: How to Pick the Right Email Platform (Without Getting Paralyzed by Options)

    If you've spent the last three weeks with seventeen browser tabs open comparing ConvertKit, Flodesk, and MailChimp — and you still haven't picked one — this episode is for you. A listener asked the question so many of us get stuck on: "How do I choose?" And the honest answer isn't a longer feature comparison. It's three simple questions that cut through the noise, plus one mistake that's quietly costing undecided business owners real money every week they wait. In this episode, you'll learn: The only three questions you actually need to answer before picking an email platformA plain, no-fluff comparison of Kit (formerly ConvertKit), Flodesk, and MailChimp — including where each one falls shortThe one mistake that costs you money when you wait too long to decideWhat's coming for Flodesk users that might close one of its current gapsYour simple Collab Task to get unstuck this week Episode Highlights: [00:00] The listener question everyone gets stuck on: ConvertKit vs. Flodesk vs. MailChimp[01:15] The only three questions that actually matter before you choose a platform[03:30] Kit (formerly ConvertKit): built for automation and selling, lighter on design[04:45] Flodesk: design-first, flat-rate pricing, and where it's historically been weaker[06:50] What's coming for Flodesk — a beta integration and a first look at Flodesk Studio[08:00] The real mistake: it's not picking wrong, it's picking nothing[09:30] This week's Collab Task (Timestamps are estimates based on the script — adjust to match final recorded/edited audio.) Key Takeaway: "The cost isn't picking the 'wrong' platform. The cost is picking no platform."Resources Mentioned: Kit (formerly ConvertKit) — kit.comFlodesk — JanTouchberry.com/emailMailChimp — mailchimp.com This Week's Collab Task: Pick your platform using the three questions from this episode, then create a free account — this week, not this month.

    125: How to Price Your Products and Services for Real ROI — with Andee Hart (Part 2)

    You already know what you offer is worth it. So why does it feel so hard to actually charge that number? In Part 2 of this conversation, Jan sits back down with Andee Hart — sales strategist, wholesale business expert, and host of She Sells Differently — to tackle one of the most emotionally loaded topics in entrepreneurship: pricing. Not the spreadsheet version. The version where guilt, fear of rejection, people-pleasing, and a deep desire to serve all collide at the checkout page. Whether you sell physical products, coaching, courses, or creative services, this episode will challenge the way you've been calculating your prices — and give you a practical framework for backing into what you should actually be charging. In this episode you'll learn: Why women entrepreneurs consistently underprice themselves — and the caregiving instinct that's often behind itHow to shift from cost-based pricing to ROI-based pricing (and why it might raise your price by $1,000 or more)Why knowing your ideal client's transformation is the foundation of every pricing decisionThe real reason discounting hurts your business — and what to offer instead in a slower economyHow your brand visuals directly affect what price people are willing to pay (the $45 hat story is one you'll remember)What an ROI calculator is, why Andee uses one on her sales page, and how she built it using AI tools without codingHow people-pleasing and the need to control client outcomes can silently keep you underchargingAndee's top pricing tip: why your first price doesn't have to be your forever price Episode Highlights[00:00] Jan introduces Part 2 and frames the topic: pricing, guilt, and the fear of thinking too much of yourself [02:14] Why women struggle with pricing more than men — and Proverbs 31 as a biblical foundation for charging what you're worth [04:04] The pricing framework Andee uses with product makers: start with cost of goods, then layer in labor, time, and — most importantly — the buyer's ROI [05:55] Jan gets real: she knows she's underpricing her web design and branding services, and shares the mindset shift she's working through right now [07:10] The critical mistake entrepreneurs make in sales copy — leading with features instead of the transformation — and how to fix it [08:00] Andee's wholesale course example: how she built an ROI calculator into her sales page and why it became a game-changer for conversions [09:40] Why one client avatar isn't enough — and how going deeper into who you serve at each stage of the customer journey changes how you price [11:06] The $45 hat story: how one perfectly branded coffee shop in Franklin, Tennessee made Jan open her wallet immediately — and what that means for your pricing power [13:20] Product makers and packaging: why homemade-looking branding keeps wholesalers off retail shelves, and how branding does the selling when you're not in the room [14:13] The scary investment conversation — why stepping into a big God-given vision requires being brave enough to pay people who can get you there [15:38] Cost vs. worth: the mindset difference between what something costs you and what it's worth to your buyer [17:20] The people-pleasing pricing trap: Andee gets personal about wanting to control client outcomes — and how that tendency quietly caps her prices [18:07] Jan's honest confession about spending thousands on courses she didn't finish — and why the ROI is always on the student, not the creator [20:40] How Andee built her ROI calculator using Canva AI first, then vibe coding tools like Lovable and Base44 — no coding required [23:07] Jan's lightbulb moment: using an ROI calculator as a client-facing tool inside web design projects [25:16] Andee's best pricing tip: don't be afraid to pivot. Survey your clients, raise your rates, and stop treating your launch price as permanent [25:55] Instead of discounting in a tough economy — add payment plans. Don't devalue your work; just make it more accessible [26:51] "You don't want to be Dollar Tree." Why discounting trains your audience to expect discount pricing forever Key Takeaway"When I am not charging what I'm worth, I am not able to use the gifts that the Lord has given me — because let's be real, it's all a gift from Him — to go do other things that make a kingdom impact." — Andee Hart Resources Mentioned🧮 ROI Calculator approach — Andee started in Canva AI, then moved to vibe coding tools like Lovable and Base44 to build full sales landing pages with built-in calculators (no coding experience required)📚 Jonathan Mast's AI landing page course — a low-cost course (~$20) that walks you through using a custom GPT to generate sales page prompts; includes a deliverable prompt you can drop into Lovable or Base44📖 Proverbs 31 — the Andee's go-to scripture for reframing pricing as an act of stewardship, not self-promotion🎙️ She Sells Differently — Andee Hart's podcast on counter-cultural sales strategy for female entrepreneurs; includes a recent episode on the entrepreneurship side of Proverbs 31 Connect with Andee Hart🌐 Website: andeehart.com📱 Andee's Instagram: @andeehart🎨 Hart Design Co Instagram: @hartdesignco🛠️ Free resource: Andee's Sales Tools for Entrepreneurs — her curated list of favorite tools for selling with more ease and less anxiety Missed Part 1?Hop back one episode to catch the first half of this conversation — Jan and Andee dig into scarcity mindset, playing small, what the Bible actually says about money, and the 10X Is Easier Than 2X framework that's reshaping how both of them think about their businesses.

    124: Scarcity Mindset, Playing Small, and What God Says About Money — with Andee Hart (Part 1)

    If you've ever undercharged a client because you needed the money, over-delivered on an offer out of guilt, or held back a product launch because it wasn't quite perfect yet — this episode is for you. In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, Jan sits down with her friend and peer mastermind member Andee Hart — sales strategist, mentor, podcast host, and the woman behind She Sells Differently. What started as a candid chat between two Christian women entrepreneurs turned into one of those conversations you have to stop and take notes on. They dig into the scarcity mindset — not as a buzzword, but as something both of them are actively working through in their businesses right now. You'll hear Jan and Andee get honest about the fears that keep women playing small, what the Bible actually says about money and calling, and what it looks like to ruthlessly focus on the work you were made to do instead of the work you can just do. In this episode you'll learn: Why accepting every client at every price point is actually a scarcity decision — and what it costs you long-termHow over-delivering and underpricing can rob your clients of real investment and ownership in their growthWhat Lydia (yes, the Lydia from Acts) can teach us about building wealth as a Christian womanThe 10X vs. 2X framework from 10X Is Easier Than 2X by Dan Sullivan & Benjamin Hardy — and why doing less is often the path to growing moreHow perfectionism and distraction are two of the enemy's biggest tools against women entrepreneursWhy being in a room with people further along than you is one of the highest-leverage things you can do for your business Episode Highlights[00:00] Jan introduces Andee Hart and the concept of peer mastermind relationships among Christian women entrepreneurs [02:36] The conversation begins — Andee opens with a question about scarcity mindset and Jan's real experience of taking every low-ticket client just to survive [04:08] Why doing "everything you can do" isn't the same as doing what you should do — and the difference between capacity and calling [09:51] How scarcity mindset shows up specifically for Christian women: underpricing, over-giving, and the fear of charging what you're worth [10:29] Jan gets personal — losing both parents in four years and how grief clarified her sense of calling and stopped her from playing small [11:55] The theological case for not playing small: when we hide our gifts, we rob others of what God intended to serve them through us [13:07] Money, ministry, and the women who funded Jesus' work — a biblical reframe for Christian entrepreneurs who feel guilty about profit [14:13] Lydia, purple dye, and what would have happened if she'd diminished her gifts [16:24] The difference between showing up with excellence and over-delivering — and how to sit with the Lord before you build your offers [19:36] The overthinking loop, the enemy's strategy, and how perfectionism causes inaction for recovering perfectionists (relatable!) [22:04] Jan shares her own current business evolution — letting go of steady retainer income to trust God with the 20% she's truly called to [23:11] Andee recommends 10X Is Easier Than 2X and explains the core idea: ruthlessly eliminate the 80% to do the 20% that actually scales your business [27:32] Being in the room with women further along — why playing up raises your game (the tennis analogy is good) [30:19] Teaser for Part 2: next week, Andee and Jan go deep on pricing — don't miss it Key Takeaway"When we make little of the gifts that God has given us, we rob others of getting to experience a beautiful gift — a way the Lord has designed to serve them through us. You can still charge someone and serve them well."

    122: Behind the Scenes: How I Grew My Email List With a Low-Lift Collaborative Event

    You've heard of summits. You've heard of bundles. But what if there's a simpler, lower-lift way to collaborate that still delivers real email list growth — without the two-day video marathon or the elaborate launch plan? That's exactly what the Workflow Exchange was. And in this episode — recorded live at the Grow Without Social online event hosted by Gabe Cox — I'm pulling back the curtain on how it worked, what surprised me, and how you can model something similar in your own business. In this episode you'll learn: What the Workflow Exchange actually is and why it's different from a traditional summit or bundleHow I organized it, automated it, and kept my own involvement to 10–15 hours totalThe opt-in strategy I used so every contributor gained email subscribers (not just the ones attendees selected)Why I was so intentional about who I invited — and how that directly impacted the resultsHow to start small if 10 collaborators feels like too much (hint: three business besties is a completely valid starting point)What I'd do the same — and what I'd simplify — if I ran it again Episode Timestamps: [00:00] Introduction from Gabe Cox — what the Workflow Exchange is and why this conversation matters[02:15] My social media journey — from waiting for my Facebook invite to getting completely off the algorithm treadmill[06:00] The Workflow Exchange explained — the idea behind it, the format, and why I built it this way[10:45] Results: ~200 new email subscribers per contributor, roughly 10–15 hours of total work[14:30] The opt-in strategy that made the email growth work — and why I chose it over the traditional "select who you want" model[17:00] What I'd keep the same vs. what I'd simplify next time (spoiler: my Google Drive folder system got a little out of hand)[20:30] Turning it evergreen — what that looks like and why simple wins[23:00] First steps if you want to try something like this in your own business[26:00] The Visibility Vault — what it is and how to grab it Key Takeaway: "Find your core and then expand out as it feels right. You don't have to go big. Find three of your business besties who have businesses that complement each other and launch it that way."

    121: Is AI making you (and your website) boring?

    You've landed on a website and felt nothing — not turned off, just... nothing. Forgettable copy, a professional tone, and zero sense of who was actually behind it. Here's the uncomfortable question: could someone say the same thing about yours? In a market flooded with AI-generated sameness, the businesses breaking through aren't the loudest or the most polished. They're the ones that feel most human. This episode is about how to be one of them. What you'll learn: Why AI tools are flattening the internet — and what that means for your brand right nowThe "you're my person" question every website visitor is secretly askingThree specific places your personality has to show up on your websiteWhat "uniquely you" actually means in practice (it's more specific than authentic)Why your website and email list are the best home for a human brandYour Collab Task: a two-part website audit you can do in under ten minutes Key takeaway / quotable: "Your website is not a brochure. It's the place where someone who has been looking for their person finally finds out if that's you."

    120: How I Grew My Email List 200% Without a Single Social Post

    You've heard "grow your email list" a hundred times. But nobody tells you how to actually do it without posting every day and praying the algorithm cooperates. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on exactly how I grew my email list by over 200% in 75 days — and not a single bit of it came from social media. It came from something older and more powerful than any platform: relationships. I walk you through the four collaboration types I used, which one drove the most growth (and why), and the unexpected referral chain that led me from my own hosted event straight to a paid sponsorship opportunity I never saw coming. Plus the one thing I now believe is more important to your long-term business growth than any funnel, any content calendar, or any algorithm hack. In this episode: Why podcast guesting alone wasn't moving the needle — and what I did differentlyWhat the Workflow Exchange was, how I built it, and why it outperformed everything elseThe real reason a summit sponsorship converts better than a social ad (hint: it's about trust)How to evaluate a bundle before you say yes — because not every one is worth your timeWhy building relationships might be the single most important business investment you can make EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS[00:00] The result first: 200% email list growth in 75 days, no social media involved [02:00] The honest starting point — where my list actually was at the end of February [05:00] Why podcast guesting builds credibility but has limits as a list-growth strategy [08:00] The Workflow Exchange: what it was, how I built it, and why ten women's audiences became mine [12:00] The referral that changed everything — and how one relationship led to another [15:00] Summit sponsorship vs. social ads: why borrowed trust converts at a different rate [18:00] Bundles: the most accessible collaboration type and how to know if one is right for you [21:00] The big idea: relationships aren't just a nice-to-have — they're the strategy [24:00] What this means for your list right now, and your one action step this week KEY TAKEAWAY"List-building isn't a solo project. It's a community project. The relationships bring people to your door — your website has to open it."

    If you've ever poured yourself into a post, hit publish, and then spent the next hour nervously checking to see if anyone cared — this episode is for you. Marketing Without Social is officially here. And this first episode is all about why — why the strategy works, why now is exactly the right time, and why building your business on social media is costing you more than you realize. In this episode, you'll learn: Why the "if I stop posting, I'll stop existing" fear is a lie worth dismantling — and what to believe insteadWhat social media platforms are literally designed to do to your brain (it's not connection — it's compulsion)The validated stats every entrepreneur needs to hear about organic reach and time spent onlineThe four owned-media pillars that form the foundation of a social-free marketing strategyWhy this approach is especially powerful for Christian women entrepreneurs who need their business to work even in their busiest seasons Key Takeaway"There is a difference between choosing to use a tool and feeling like you cannot survive without it. For too many Christian women entrepreneurs, social media has gone from tool to tyrant."

About

Marketing Without Social is the podcast for Christian women entrepreneurs who are done depending on Instagram, Facebook, and the algorithm — and ready to build a business that grows even when you're not online. Hosted by Jan, web designer and brand strategist for Christian women entrepreneurs, this show proves that owned media — your website, your email list, your podcast — is the most sustainable, faith-aligned marketing strategy available to you. Jan built her own client base without social media, and every episode shows you exactly how to do the same. Each week you'll learn how to: Get clients without posting on Instagram or Facebook Build an email list from scratch — even starting at zero Make your website your hardest-working business tool Use SEO to get found without paid ads or daily content Create marketing that keeps working when life and seasons demand your attention If you're asking any of these questions, this podcast is for you: Can I actually get clients without being on social media? Is email marketing really worth it? How do I get found online if I'm not posting? How do other Christian women grow their business without burning out? New episodes every Wednesday. This is marketing that fits your actual life — and your faith.
