    Episode 097 | How I Made £7,788 in 10 Minutes From One Style Email (And the Exact Structure I Used)

    🎧 Episode Show Notes How I Made £7,788 in 10 Minutes From One Style Email (And the Exact Structure I Used) What if one email could make £7,788 in ten minutes of work? In this episode, I’m breaking down the exact structure I used and how it all started from simply documenting what I was already doing inside Platinum. And before you switch off because you “don’t have a list yet”… I didn’t have one for the first seven years of my business either. This isn’t about clever copy. It’s about clarity. Ownership. And using email properly. Why I built a business for 7 years without an email list The realisation that changed how I use email What a “Dual Email” is (and why it works so well) The simple 3-part structure I use every time The exact follow-up email that brought in £7,788 in 10 minutes Why documenting what you’re already doing converts better than “sales emails” How email creates stability instead of random revenue I’m teaching this properly inside my free live masterclass: 🗓 Tuesday 24th February at 8pm And if you show up live, you’ll get my full printable, tickable business roadmap checklist. If you’ve ever thought, “I just need someone to show me what to focus on first and next every step of the way…” This is it. 👉 Join here: www.emmacooperonline.com/ideatoincome Come live.

    Episode 096| Retiring your partner - Good Or Bad Decision? A deeply personal episode.

    🎧 Episode Show Notes The Quiet Truth About “Retiring Your Husband” (No One Talks About This Part) We hear it all the time in the online space: “I retired my husband.” “I built a business so my partner doesn’t have to work.” But… what actually happens after that moment? In this really personal episode, I’m sharing the honest reality of what it looked like for us when I built my first business while pregnant, left the police, became the main earner and Shaun stepped away from his police career to support our family and businesses. Just the truth about identity, resentment, purpose, power shifts, and what really keeps a relationship healthy long-term (i'm not an expert it's just real shares.) Why “retiring your partner” sounds empowering… but can get complicated fast The identity shift no one prepares you (or them) for How resentment creeps in quietly and why it’s not actually about money What changed in our relationship when Sean built something of his own Why purpose matters just as much as income The conversations couples need to have before (and after) big business decisions You’re building a business alongside a partner You’ve thought about making one of you the main earner You’ve already “retired” your partner and something feels… off You want success without  losing respect, attraction, or connection You’re tired of polished freedom stories that skip the human cost Don’t retire purpose. Retire a job. And remember... what works for a season doesn’t have to work forever. Things change and that's okay! If this episode resonated, I’d love you to: Share it with someone who needs to hear the real side of this conversation Leave a review (I give away a £50 Amazon voucher every month to one reviewer 💌) Thanks for being here .. and for being okay with honest conversations like this.

    Episode 092 | How I Sell Daily in a Low-Trust Online World

    Be honest…Have you felt like selling online has started to feel heavier? Not because people don’t want results.Not because they don’t have problems to solve.But because trust online just isn’t what it used to be. In today’s episode, I’m talking honestly about what many business owners are thinking but not saying out loud.. we’re in a trust recession. And instead of fighting it, I want to show you how I’ve built a business that actually thrives because of it. This is a no-fluff, grown-up conversation about what selling really looks like now and why pushing harder is no longer the answer. Why selling online feels harder even though demand hasn’t disappeared What the “trust recession” really means for coaches and course creators Why sceptical buyers aren’t a problem they’re a sign the market is maturing The shift from convincing people to demonstrating your expertise Why louder marketing often backfires in a low-trust world How people actually decide who they trust online (hint: it’s not sales pages) Why free value alone doesn’t build enough trust anymore The real role of tiny offers in helping people experience you without pressure How low-ticket entry points remove resistance and build belief What it means to build an ecosystem instead of relying on one big selling moment Why selling daily becomes easier when trust is designed into your business What serious, sustainable businesses are doing differently right now The hard truth about why some business models are starting to crack How structure replaces stress when trust is built over time Selling in today’s online world isn’t about trying harder.It’s about building trust on purpose. The businesses that are thriving right now aren’t the shoutiest… they’re the clearest.They don’t rely on pressure or persuasion.They let people experience how they think, teach, and solve problems. And when trust comes first, sales become a natural outcome not something you have to force. If this episode made you realise you’ve been trying to sell without the right foundations, I want to help you fix that properly. Inside Grow Sell Scale, we build: an audience growth system a trust-led sales ecosystem daily sales without pressure and launches that work because everything else is already in place 👉 Join Grow Sell Scale here:www.emmacooperonline.com/3 You don’t need louder marketing.You need a smarter system. And once trust is built by design, selling stops feeling heavy. I’ll see you in the next episode, my friend.Emma x

Why low ticket buyers are not “less serious” — and how they often become your best high-ticket clients The real pros and cons of selling high ticket vs low ticket (no fluff, no hype) Why relying only on high ticket sales can actually slow your growth How the current “trust recession” is changing buyer behaviour online Why easy entry points into your world matter more than ever How to decide whether you should go low ticket, high ticket  or (most powerfully) a mix of both How an ecosystem model creates consistent sales, stability, and scale Emma also explains why: Trust is now the most valuable currency in online business Email lists and buyer journeys outperform “post more content” strategies Businesses that sell only one way are often the most fragile Low ticket isn’t small thinking.High ticket isn’t the only answer.
