Episode #346 – Why Your Biggest Fans Aren’t Buying (and How to Change That) What if your most loyal Instagram fans - the ones liking and commenting on every post - never actually buy from you? That changes when you stop treating Instagram like the end goal and start using it as the bridge to something more powerful and reliable: your email list.

In this episode, I’ll show you how to shift your mindset so Instagram becomes a pathway, not a destination. You’ll learn exactly how to lead followers into your inbox, nurture real relationships, and guide them toward checkout - on your terms, not the algorithm’s.

💡 You’ll learn: ✨ Why Instagram isn’t built to nurture or convert - and what to do instead ✨ The 3-part funnel that moves followers from Instagram → Inbox → Checkout ✨ Simple ways to update your bio, Stories, and offers to grow your list fast ✨ How to create an email experience that builds trust and boosts conversions ✨ Why the brands winning now are the ones who own their audience relationship

Plus, in The Gold Mine, I’m sharing a lesson I’ve taken from my lifelong love of tennis: the importance of “playing your own game” in marketing. Just like the best tennis players stand out by leaning into their unique style, your emails and SMS will resonate most when they reflect your personality - not someone else’s formula.

If you’ve been chasing followers without seeing sales - or if you’re ready to make your marketing more reliable and less dependent on social media - this episode will give you the plan (and confidence) to connect the dots from post to purchase.
