    The Entire JillFit Ads Strategy Broken Down for You

    Ads always work—it's just a matter of whether or not you've dialed in your messaging, targeting, and offer. In this episode, Jill shares a 30,000ft view of the entire JillFit ad strategy, outlining her evergreen approach—lead magnet ads with standalone value, two self-liquidating offers that recoup ad spend through low-ticket sales, a live webinar funnel, podcast-growth ads, and periodic wait-list ads for FBA—alongside launch-specific tactics, which lean heavily on lead generation for a free challenge or workshop, with retargeting ads reserved only for people already on a wait list or launch list rather than cold traffic. But you don't need to run a 7-figure business to use ads. There are practical starting points for different budget levels, from a $5/day lead magnet to hiring a $2,000-5,000/month ads manager. If you want to scale, you want to use ads.   Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Join Ads with Andy!    Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

    6 Ways to Refresh a Signature Program to Make It (Still) Feel Exciting and Compelling for New Clients

    How do you refresh your signature program so it feels new and compelling, instead of starting from scratch every launch? Today, Jill outlines six practical strategies: adding a timely theme, building in accountability or gamification, bringing in guest speakers or hosting roundtable hot seats, offering live meetups or unstructured Zoom accountability sessions, introducing VIP or higher-priced tiers for more one-on-one access, and launching a challenge within the program to drive fast, concentrated action. But most importantly, any new addition to a signature offer only works if you talk about it consistently and explain why you added it. That's what makes an audience excited rather than indifferent.   Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

    6 Signs You Have a Strong Personal Brand

    Building a personal brand is the best foundation for a sustainable online business because strong personal brand creates safety, certainty, and anti-fragility for your business. Today, Jill walks through six signs you've built one: people like your posts without reading them, they reference your story when sharing their own, they repeat your proprietary terms and frameworks back to you, they send you memes and content that remind them of you, they buy from you simply because it's you, and you know with confidence that any launch will generate sales.    Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

    How to Clean Up Your Email List to Boost Your Open Rates + Deliverability Score

    Today, Jill explains how and why to regularly clean out your email list, sharing the practical steps she uses at JillFit: deleting unsubscribes so you're not paying for dead contacts, running reports to find subscribers who haven't opened an email in six months, and using a "re-enrollment campaign" with a curiosity-driven subject line and a free gift to win back lapsed subscribers before cutting them loose. List cleaning is essential for keeping email deliverability and spam scores healthy, lowering software costs, and boosting open rates. But above all, try not to take unsubscribes or unopened emails personally—it's simply part of running a permission-based marketing system.    Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

    Angle vs. Intervention: Why You're Not Selling More Coaching Packages

    Do you know the difference between angle and intention in your marketing? The idea comes from the fact that the best-practice fundamentals (the intention) that actually deliver client results are rarely what convinces someone to buy a coaching package, while a flashy, curiosity-driven "angle" is what captures attention and gets people to raise their hands. You don't need to feel dishonest by leading with a niched, novel hook rather than the basics, as long as you trust yourself to deliver the full, responsible coaching experience once a client is signed on.   Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

    Summertime Sleepy Season + How to Prep Now for Fall Promotions

    Summer is historically the slowest season for business promotions. Your potential clients are distracted by vacations, kids being out of school, and a general "out of office" mode makes it harder to sell things that require routine or commitment. Rather than panicking about low engagement now, use this quieter period to build your "launch narrative" for fall promotions: consistently talking about your upcoming offers, mentioning their names repeatedly to build familiarity, and use lead magnets, interest lists, or content series to corral attention so that when doors officially open, your audience is already warmed up and no time is wasted on education. Successful launches in 2026 depend less on the size of an audience and more on consistent, story-driven messaging, so that by the time consumer attention naturally sharpens at the end of summer, your business is already positioned and ready to convert.   Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

    The "Second Sell" and Why You Need to Be Using It in Your Coaching Containers

    Today, Jill explores the concept of the "second sell"—the often-overlooked practice of re-selling customers and leads on actually consuming or actioning what they've already opted into or purchased. The reality is that most people's excitement fades quickly after signing up for a freebie or paid program. So to keep your distracted clients excited, you should build in reminders and curiosity loops, and lower barriers to entry in order to boost engagement. This episode has concrete tactics from Jill's own programs, including a three-email follow-up sequence for freebies, kickoff calls that future pace client disengagement before it happens, reverse-engineering the path from login to result to design better email prompts, and a seven-day onboarding sequence designed to get membership members a fast, meaningful win. Retention and results don't happen automatically after a sale. They require ongoing, intentional marketing to your own customers to keep them showing up and getting value.   Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

    6 Ways to Build Trust *Faster* and Make More Sales

    Trust-building is essential, as the online space enters into what Jill calls the current "trust recession." Trust typically takes at least 18-24 months of consistent effort to develop, but there are ways to accelerate the process. Today, Jill shares those 6 strategies for speeding up the trust process. They include increasing touch points with your audience; using storytelling to build genuine connection; "going against your pitch" by being brutally honest even when it costs you a sale; exposing an "us versus them" dynamic by calling out problematic industry practices; creating "model of the world" content that positions you as an authority; and adopting an "abundance sell" mindset that signals you don't desperately need the sale.    Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.
