    I Turned On Meta Ads Before I'd Even Built My Product [Ep 257]

    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: 50 a Day mini course: https://kyliekelly.thrivecart.com/50-a-day/Ready to grow your business without social media or burnout? 🎉 Join Email Marketing Skool here: https://www.skool.com/email-marketing-skool/about p.s - Loving the show?

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 yearsHow changing business models changes your software decisionsThe hidden cost of complexity in your businessWhy loyalty to tools isn't a strategyThe question every business owner should ask regularly: "Does this still fit?"Mentioned: Check out Kit here: CLICK HERE Check out Flodesk here: CLICK HERE * these are both my affiliate links btw.

    Your Email Platform Can Now Talk to AI (And Most People Are Missing the Real Opportunity) [Ep 253]

    AI can now connect directly to email platforms like Kit and Flodesk. And while everyone seems to be asking whether AI can write their emails, I think they're missing the much bigger opportunity. In this episode, I'm sharing why I believe the future of AI in business isn't content creation - it's interpretation. We're talking about what happens when AI can analyse your data, spot patterns, surface insights in seconds, and help you understand your audience better than ever before. But we're also diving into the trust and consent conversation that comes with these new tools - and why business owners need to think carefully about how they use AI as this technology continues to evolve. Because while AI is changing how we create content, I think the businesses that thrive over the next decade will be the ones that understand their audience best. What You'll Learn in This Episode: What it means for AI tools like Claude to connect directly to your email platformWhy I think most business owners are focusing on the wrong part of the AI conversationHow AI helped me uncover surprising insights from my own email marketingThe shift from information to interpretation - and why it mattersThe trust and consent questions every business owner should be askingWhy relationships, community, and connection are becoming more valuable in an AI-powered worldKey Takeaway The future doesn't belong to the people creating the most content. It belongs to the people who understand their audience the best.
