    211. Toycycle's sales have blossomed from 1 monthly marketing task

    211. Toycycle's sales have blossomed from 1 monthly marketing task

    I sat down recently to speak to Rhonda Collins, founder of ToyCycle, a resale marketplace that sells new and gently used toys and baby gear.
    Rhonda has been in the Inner Circle for over a year, but she was mostly flying under the radar, quietly doing the work. Then one day she showed up in our Facebook group with some Year-Over-Year results that completely blew my mind.
    So I knew I needed to get her on the podcast to find out how she did it.
    You’ll learn:
    🏆The one monthly marketing activity that has exploded ToyCycle’s sales
    💡 The importance of understanding your sales funnel
    😀The value of understanding your audience in maximizing ad spend
    Listen in to learn from Rhonda’s explosive year of growth.

    209. How to create profit goals

    209. How to create profit goals

    If there is ONE thing that nearly all ecommerce store owners have in common it’s this – they’re chronically underpaid and overworked.
    And on top of that, many are struggling with debt repayments that gobble up their profits and prevent them from growing. In this episode, I’m talking with Ciara Stokeland, the author of “Inventory Genius” about strategies any store owner can use to stop struggling to make ends meet, turn the ship around, and emerge debt free and profitable.
    Listen in and  learn:
    😁 How setting profit goals helps you make better business decisions
    ❌ Why more sales may NOT be the answer to your money problems
    📈 How to commit to the process and track your progress
    This game-changing method might just flip the script on your financial struggles.

    208. How to add Recurring Revenue to your Business

    208. How to add Recurring Revenue to your Business

    Way back in late 2016 I thought it would be a great idea to start a membership. I called it the Inner Circle, and it was for people like me. Ecommerce store owners who were trying to grow their sales.
    I opened the membership to about 70 people. I did it because I thought it would be the easiest way to offer support and teach them what I had learned the hard way.
    I couldn’t have been more wrong. It just about killed me, and 5 months after I started, I was ready to close the doors.
    What I know now is that a Membership is a great way to provide ongoing training and support.
    The truth is that I was doing it wrong.
    In early 2017 a friend recommended I follow Stu McLaren, because he knows how to set up a Membership program that really works for the students, and doesn’t almost kill you, lol.
    I followed Stu, joined his program, and learned how to build an amazing Membership program.
    That was almost 7 years ago. Since then, we’ve taught thousands of store owners how to grow a profitable eCommerce business, and the Inner Circle has generated millions of dollars in revenue.  We have an amazing team of 20 women. I’m so proud of how they help our members make progress, and I am thrilled to be able to pay them very well, and provide a flexible workplace.
    I’m sharing this with you because a few years ago I realized that what I have learned about memberships for services can also be applied to eCommerce stores.
    In fact, eCommerce store owners can set up memberships that generate enough revenue to pay their bills every single month.
    I’m sure you can imagine what’s possible when you have thousands of dollars of recurring revenue coming into your business every single month.
    If you’d like to learn more - click here. You can watch or listen to a conversation I had with Stu McLaren about how eCommerce store owners like you are implementing profitable Memberships right now.
    Talk soon,
    PS: Stu is running a free workshop that will show you how to create your own recurring revenue stream. “Turn What You Already Know, Love, And Do Into A Profitable Membership Business” starts on April 4th  and runs until April 12th

The best foundational business podcast

What I love about Susan and her podcast is that she really focuses on the fundamentals of building a successful business. As an entrepreneur it’s so easy to get “shiny object syndrome” and get caught up in the latest trends. She always reminds us to go back to the data and to stay focused on the work that makes the most impact.

The Best E-commerce Podcast

Susan has a no fluff, actionable podcast for e-commerce business owners. She has her own experience selling and coaches many students in the right direction. I have been listening to her podcast for over one year, and have gone back and listened to every episode to take away such valuable information. Highly recommend!
