Back in 1998, starting a dance business meant shelling out $5K for a website and figuring everything out the hard way. Now? It’s noisy—but the tools are all there (many for free).

In this episode, I’m breaking down what I wish I had known when I started—and what I’d do differently today to grow an audience and build a list of paying students.

You’ll learn:

* Why niching down is your superpower

* The simple (but essential) freebie strategy to build trust fast

* How to create a no-frills opt-in page that actually converts

* Why an email list is more powerful than your follower count

* And the big one: don’t forget to follow up

This episode is a must if you’re just getting started or feel stuck in your marketing. Tune in and learn how to build smart from the start.
