  • Your List Lasts Even if Social Media Disappears Tomorrow

    Your List Lasts Even if Social Media Disappears Tomorrow
    Jul 7 2025
    In this episode of Creatives on Fire, we’re diving into one of the most powerful (yet often overlooked) tools in your business: your email list. If you’re building an online brand, trying to launch a product, or just want a stronger connection with your audience—this is for you. This week, I’m breaking down a few highlights from Chapter Three of my book Creatives on Fire: 71 Secrets to Making Money Online to help you get serious about email marketing. https://creativesonfirepodcast.com/episode203 Why Email Is the Key to a Thriving Business If you’ve ever built a business on social media (like I did in the early days), you know how risky it is to rely entirely on a platform you don’t own. One day I woke up and had lost access to everything—my page, my people, and my peace of mind. Lesson learned: an email list is not optional. It’s essential. And building one doesn’t have to be complicated. The 3 Simple Steps to Get Started with Email Marketing These aren’t fancy tactics or high-tech automations. Just real, doable steps that can make a huge difference: Step 1: Create a Freebie That Solves a Tiny Problem You don’t need a 10-module course. You need something quick and valuable—think: A checklistA printableA one-page guide The key? Solve a specific and tiny problem that makes your audience say, “I need that!” Need ideas? Just ask ChatGPT or grab my free guide: 👉 7 Ways to Share Your Freebie and Grow Your List Step 2: Make It Impossible to Miss Put your freebie everywhere your audience is: Your blogYour Instagram bioYour Pinterest pinsYour YouTube video descriptionsYour podcast show notes (like this one!) The goal is to make signing up a no-brainer. Step 3: Set Up a Welcome Series (Even Just One Email) Don’t overthink this. A welcome series is just your way of saying: Here’s who I amHere’s why I careHere’s how I can help you If nothing else, send a single welcome email that thanks them and invites them to stick around. I've linked a few helpful resources below for welcome email examples. YouTube Alert: New Email Marketing Tutorials Playlist! Yes, I’m revamping the Creatives on Fire YouTube channel! 🎉 And there’s a new Email Marketing Tutorials playlist waiting for you.

    This Step Is the One That Changes Everything
    Jun 30 2025
    This Creatives on Fire episode is extra special because I’m sharing Secret #1 from my brand-new book Creatives on Fire: 71 Secrets to Making Money Online. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by all the options for starting or growing your business online, today’s episode is the clarity you’ve been waiting for. Because no matter what platform or product you use, everything starts with knowing your niche. https://creativesonfirepodcast.com/episode202 A Personal Confession (That Might Sound Familiar) I shared a little story in this episode about my college days — when I spent over five years in school without a clear plan. I bounced around from English to Criminal Justice before finally asking a counselor: “What’s the fastest way out of here?” The truth? I just needed a roadmap. That same lack of clarity is something many creatives face in the online space. There are so many shiny objects, strategies, and promises of instant success that it's easy to stall before you ever get started. But the problem isn’t usually effort — it’s direction Secret #1: Finding Your Niche Whether you're brand new or ready to pivot in your business, nailing down your niche is the foundation for everything else. Your niche is that magical sweet spot where your passion meets a real need in the market. The goal is to find the overlap between: What you love to doWhat problems you can solveWhat your audience is actually searching (and willing to pay) for Action Step From the Book At the end of every chapter in Creatives on Fire, you’ll find a clear action step you can take. For Secret #1, here’s what I want you to do: ✅ Make a list of your top skills, interests, and the problems you enjoy solving ✅ Use tools like ChatGPT, Google Trends, Pinterest Trends, or Ubersuggest to research what people are actively searching for ✅ Look for overlap between your list and trending topics that show strong demand Need help getting started? Grab my free mini course: Pinpoint Your Passion Every Expert Started Where You Are Every six-figure blogger, successful influencer, or creative coach you admire once stood exactly where you’re standing now. Confused. Curious. Hopeful. Looking for that one right step to move forward. The good news? You can take that first step today. And that’s the entire reason I wrote this book. Creatives on Fire: 71 Secrets to Making Money Online is designed to be your personal roadmap — the guide I wish I had when I started.
