If I Needed to Make an Extra $1,000, Here's What I'd Do [Ep 271]

→ Borrow My Podcast: https://takethemic.kyliekelly.com When we want to make more money, our first instinct is often to create another offer. A workshop, a mini course, a template, a new service… and before we know it, we've spent weeks building something without actually making any sales. But what if there's a simpler way? In this episode of The Email Growth Show , I'm sharing exactly where I'd look if I wanted to generate an extra $1,000 in my business this month, without creating a brand-new product. What You'll Learn in This Episode: How to find opportunities to make more sales from products and services you already have Why unused capacity in your calendar could be a revenue opportunity How to repurpose existing workshops, trainings and resources into something people can buy Why your audience, email list, podcast and community are valuable business assets How to work backwards from a $1,000 revenue goal to figure out what you actually need to sell Why protecting your time, energy and audience trust matters when creating additional revenue The new Borrow My Podcast experiment I'm testing inside my own business Plus, I'm giving you a simple challenge: If you weren't allowed to create anything new for the next 30 days, how would you make an extra $1,000?

Before You Add Anything Else to Your Q4 Plan… [Ep 270]

In this episode of The Email Growth Show, I'm sharing why I think the advice to "just be consistent" is missing something REALLY important, how I'm approaching Q4 after a busy September, and the three areas I'd look at before deciding where to focus your time and energy. Because you can be incredibly consistent and still not grow your business… if you're consistently working on the wrong things. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why "just be consistent" isn't actually a business strategy How to stop treating every new month or quarter like a fresh start Why your business should have a memory (and what that actually means!) The three areas to assess before planning Q4: Discovery → Relationship → Revenue How to identify the real bottleneck that's stopping your business from growing How to focus your consistency on the activities that genuinely move your business forward Plus, I'm sharing a little behind the scenes of my own September, including launching Black Friday Made Simple and Find CoLab, and why I'm heading into the final quarter of the year focused on making what I've already built work harder.

Your Subscribers Like Your Emails… So Why Don't They Buy? [Ep 269]

In this episode of The Email Growth Show , we're talking about the gap between having an engaged email list and having an email list that actually generates sales. Because being great at nurturing isn't automatically the same as being great at selling - and if you've spent so much time trying not to annoy your subscribers that you rarely tell them what they can actually buy from you, that might be the missing piece. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why an engaged email list doesn't automatically equal a buying email list How we can accidentally overcorrect on nurturing and barely sell at all The difference between mentioning an offer and actually making an offer The simple Friday sales email rhythm I'm building into my own business What to check before assuming you need a new offer, bigger list or completely different strategy A simple four-week email audit to see whether you're actually giving subscribers enough opportunities to buy Because if your subscribers love your emails but aren't becoming customers, it doesn't necessarily mean you have the wrong audience or the wrong offer. You might simply be giving them plenty of reasons to read - and not enough reasons to buy. → Full show notes and takeaways: https://kyliekelly.com/podcast/episodes/your-subscribers-like-your-emails-so-why-dont-they-buy/ -------------------------------------------------------- Want to grow your email list with collaborations?

Mara Riopel and I have never had a catch-up where one of us wasn't walking through something hard. So when we sat down to record this one for both of our podcasts, we went straight to the real stuff.

The Black Friday That Made The Least $$ (and Grew My List the Most) [Ep 267]

This episode almost stayed tucked away inside a much smaller series. I recorded it as the opening episode of The Black Friday Case Files, a run of interviews I did with other business owners about their real Black Friday sales, wins and flops included. But listening back to it, I realised it didn't belong somewhere only a small group of people would ever hear it. So here it is on the main show. I walk through three real years of my own Black Friday, three completely different strategies, and the honest numbers behind each one, including the year I made the least money and somehow grew my email list more than any other year I've run. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Three different Black Friday approaches I've actually run, not theory Why the year with the worst sales numbers did the most for my list What I'd tell myself if I were starting this year's Black Friday from scratch Links mentioned: Black Friday Made Simple: https://bfms.kyliekelly.com → Full show notes and takeaways: https://kyliekelly.com/podcast/episodes/the-black-friday-that-made-the-least-and-grew-my-list-the-most/ -------------------------------------------------------- Want to grow your email list with collaborations?

The 3-Day Launch Strategy I'm Using to Create More Revenue [Ep 266]

In this episode of The Email Growth Show, I'm pulling back the curtain on why I'm launching more often (but for less time), how I'm using these small promotional windows to create injections of revenue, and why Black Friday might be the perfect opportunity to sell something you already have rather than rushing to create something new. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why a launch doesn't have to mean launching something new How I'm using simple three-day launches in my own business Why your audience probably hasn't seen your offer as much as you think they have What I'd send during a simple three-day promotional window Different ways to create urgency without automatically discounting Why Black Friday is a reason to sell, not necessarily a reason to create Because before you create another course, workshop, template or offer... Maybe you just need to sell the thing you've already made.

The Low-Lift Way I'm Growing My List Right Now [Ep 265]

I ran my first audio pop-up event in years last month, and today I'm giving you the real numbers - including the part that flopped. Back in 2022, these tiny audio pop-ups grew my list by 100–150 people at a time. I brought them back this year as a monthly, low-lift growth engine instead of another giant summit. This episode is the full debrief: what worked, what didn't, and why I'm still calling it a win. What you'll learn in this episode: Why I chose scrappy Voxer-style audio interviews over a big polished summit The real August numbers - 303 signups, 370+ downloads, and just one $97 season pass sale Why a "failed" launch metric doesn't mean the event failed How much the event actually warmed people up for my Break Up With Instagram launch (and what that told me) Exactly how I find new collaborators without cold-pitching strangers Links mentioned: → Join the Black Friday Case Files waitlist (Sept 14–18): https://listen.kyliekelly.com → Full show notes and takeaways: https://kyliekelly.com/low-lift-email-list-growth/ -------------------------------------------------------- Want to grow your email list with collaborations?
