Imagine making $40,000 a month from a $9 membership. Sounds impossible? Think again! In this episode, I sit down with email marketing expert Liz Wilcox, who has cracked the code on how to turn a low-cost membership into a thriving business. Liz shares the secrets behind her high-converting email strategies, why she’s anti-storytelling in emails, and how she built her business from an RV travel blog to an email marketing empire. If you’ve ever doubted that a budget-friendly membership could bring in serious revenue, this conversation will open your eyes to what’s possible.

Liz also breaks down the essential elements of effective email marketing, including how to stay top of mind, engage your audience with short and relatable messages, and build trust without overwhelming your subscribers. Plus, she shares how networking and leveraging other people's platforms (OPP) helped her grow her business - insights that any online course creator can apply today.

What if you could boost your course sales every month—without ads, new launches, or more work? In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on Relaunch Magic, the system I use to re-engage non-buyers and turn them into customers automatically.

If you’ve got an evergreen funnel and leads who didn’t convert, this strategy can help you bring them back in a way that feels natural—not pushy. I’m sharing how it works, why it’s better than live launching, and how you can set it up to run on autopilot.

Ever thought about flipping the script on online courses? What if, instead of selling your course, you gave it away for free - and still built a wildly profitable business? In this episode, I sit down with Itai Nusbaum, who has done exactly that. Itai has created 16 online courses, all available for free, and has used them as a powerful marketing engine to establish himself as the go-to expert in his field.
