  • FBU 616: The 5 Content Types I'm Using in my 30-Day Reels Challenge

    Every June, Jill runs a 30-day Reels challenge on Instagram. Today, she's sharing how she plans her content for the month using a framework she calls the "Five R's." The five content types are Reach (polarizing or opinionated content designed to attract new followers), Relatable (storytelling, memes, and day-in-the-life content that builds connection with your ideal audience), Results (educational, solution-based content that showcases your expertise), Revenue (direct sales content including testimonials, calls to action, and offer promotion), and Repurposed (recycled or podcast-clipped content for lower-effort days). Jill walks through how she maps out her monthly content calendar using a simple notes app, reverse-engineering around launches, scheduled events, and a weekly cadence of one post per content type. By embracing imperfection and consistency over perfection, you can get faster at content creation, overcome perfectionism, and stay visible even on low-energy days.

  • FBU 615: James Wedmore on AI, a Trust Recession + How to Stand Out Online

    In this episode, Jill sits down with her business mentor, James Wedmore, for a wide-ranging conversation about what it really takes to build a sustainable online business. James challenges listeners to stop identifying as "just a coach" and start thinking like a true business owner—one who asks not only what they want from their business, but what the business needs from them. He shares his origin story of launching Business by Design from a simple beta program with 25 people, now 60+ million dollars in sales later, and breaks down his three-phase approach to business growth anchored around a tested, irresistible offer. James also shares his opinion on the role of AI in business, raising concerns about entrepreneurs outsourcing both their voice and their strategic thinking to tools like ChatGPT, creating what he calls "the great average." The real opportunity lies in doubling down on human skills, particularly direct-response copywriting and authentic self-expression. For more reasons than just one, this moment in the internet space is a massive opening for anyone willing to do the hard, meaningful work.

  • FBU 614: Are We in a Trust Recession?

    There's a growing skepticism toward online coaches and internet marketers, so in order to run a successful online business, we have to overcome this. These feelings of distrust come from a combination of factors: low barriers to entry in the online coaching space leading to uneven coach quality, an oversaturated content landscape with contradictory information, widespread disillusionment with institutions like government and medicine, and rising suspicion around AI-generated content. Trust ultimately comes down to three pillars: competency, relatability, and consistency. So, rather than fearing the moment we're in, lean in to it. If you're doing genuine, high-quality work, a trust recession isn't a threat, it's an opportunity to stand out by calling out the problem openly, educating your audience on what to look for in a coach, and letting your track record speak for itself.

  • FBU 613: 3 Non-Negotiables to Build a Profitable SLO

    In this episode, Jill breaks down the self-liquidating offer—a paid traffic sales system where ads send cold audiences directly to a low-ticket checkout page—and shares the three must-haves for making one convert. A successful SLO comes down to: (1) an irresistible offer that solves a problem people are actively searching for, backed by a strong price anchor; (2) hyper-specific, resonant messaging that speaks directly to the ideal client's frustrations in concrete, tangible terms; and (3) social proof in the form of testimonials or case studies, even if they're from other offers, to quickly establish credibility with an audience that has zero prior relationship with you.

  • FBU 612: Why Having a Personal Brand is Now Non-Negotiable in 2026

    Personal branding is more essential than ever in 2026, especially as AI lowers the barrier to entry for online coaching and floods the space with homogenized content. Neither ads nor AI can replicate the human connection that drives long-term customer loyalty and lifetime value. As a coach, you need to lean into your authentic personality, show up face-to-camera consistently, and share the behind-the-scenes "knowables" that make you genuinely distinct. The coaches who will stand out won't be the most credentialed or the most polished, they'll be the ones their audience feels like they actually know.

  • FBU 611: 4 Tweaks I've Made to My Email Marketing to Accommodate Shorter Attention Spans

    Today, Jill shares four practical tweaks she's been making to her email marketing strategy to adapt to shorter attention spans and busier inboxes: keeping emails shorter overall (especially promotional ones), limiting paragraphs to no more than three lines, using more direct language with less backstory and context, and including a clear call to action in every email to "train the click." While longer, story-driven emails still have a place, the majority of emails, particularly those driving people to opt-in or sales pages, should be short, punchy, and to the point.

  • FBU 610: Should You Follow Back People Who Follow You On Social Media?

    Should follow back people who follow you on social media? While there's no obligation to do so, there might be real strategic value in following back accounts that look like potential ideal clients—especially if you're in the early stages of building your client roster. Rather than immediately sliding into a follower's DMs, try quietly consuming their content and waiting for a natural moment to engage, like replying to a story in a genuine way. Relationship-building takes time and forced shortcuts tend to backfire, so your goal should be to accumulate authentic touch points that eventually convert into sales on their own timeline.

  • FBU 609: 3 Sales Mechanisms Working for High-Ticket Right Now

    There are plenty of ways to sell your high-ticket coaching offers, but not every method will work for every person. Today, Jill shares 3 sales mechanisms her clients have been using to great success. While all 3 clients tried something different, he real differentiator across all three approaches isn't the mechanism itself, but the messaging behind it, and in 2026, simply "checking the box" with a webinar or funnel is no longer enough to drive sales.

  • FBU 608: Make These 2 Counterintuitive Energetic Shifts to Close More Sales

    If you're ready to up your sales technique, there are two energetic shifts you need to try. The first is adopting an "interview energy"—approaching sales conversations from a place of confidence and selectivity, where the potential client feels they need to earn their spot rather than the you feeling desperate for the sale. The second is simply assuming people already have the money for your services, which leads to showing up more confident, convicted, and abundant in any sales context. You could also raise your prices, because higher prices signal higher value, which can attract easier clients. In any case, a well-rounded offer suite should serve buyers at every level rather than defaulting to a race to the bottom on price.

  • FBU 607: How to Handle Clients Not Getting Results or Even Leaving Your Containers Angry or Disappointed

    It's uncomfortable but inevitable—some clients will leave your coaching container feeling disappointed or unfulfilled, even when you've delivered on every promise. As your business scales and you work with more clients across more programs, it becomes just a numbers game rather than a reflection of your failure. Today, Jill walks through practical ways to minimize client dissatisfaction, including setting clear expectations on sales pages, enforcing communication boundaries, creating logistical systems like reminder emails to keep clients engaged, and fostering open dialogue so clients feel safe voicing concerns before they disengage. At the same time, don't let the fear of disappointing someone hold you back from scaling. Defaulting to "I'm not doing enough" is a deeply human tendency that, left unchecked, becomes a barrier to your growth.
