The most influential poster in the history of art was an ad for a play. It was designed by a broke, unknown illustrator who only got the job because he was the one stuck working over the holidays. His name was Alphonse Mucha, and that single commission — a rush job nobody else wanted — turned him into the father of Art Nouveau. He didn't sit in a studio and find his direction. A customer handed it to him. Want to join Patrick for a live webinar? He hosts one every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Register here: asf.today/webinar That's the heart of this episode: a commission isn't a compromise. It's an idea-generation machine. A client drags you somewhere you'd never have chosen on your own — and every so often, that detour becomes your entire career. It happened to Mucha. It happened to a portrait painter named George Stubbs who took a few horse commissions and ended up the greatest equine painter who ever lived. It happened to a studio photographer named Dorothea Lange the day a government assignment sent her into the migrant camps. But before we get to the good news, we have to clear out the lies. The longer you spend in this business, the more you realize the "sacred truths" of the art world are mostly nonsense — and most of them are really just hobbyist rules wearing a business suit. (If you've heard me draw the hobbyist-vs-business line before, this is where it earns its keep — same line that runs under The Long Game.) In this episode: The Christmas shift that invented Art Nouveau — how Mucha got the job nobody wanted and never looked back Six "sacred truths" of the art business that are complete nonsense — and the one thing wrong with every single one of them "You need a niche before you can start" — why you don't pick your niche; the work reveals it "Good art sells itself" — the $128 of thrift-store junk that resold for $3,612 on stories alone, a $3.5M violin that earned $32 in a subway, and the painter who went from unsold to $2.5 million without changing a brushstroke "Never discount your work" — why that rule is real, why it isn't yours, and what the galleries who preach it actually do behind closed doors The line in the sand: hobby or business? Drucker said a business has exactly one purpose — to create a customer — and in that equation, you don't get the last word. The market does. "Nobody bought it, so I'm a failure" — the lie that makes good artists quit, and why Picasso died holding roughly 45,000 of his own unsold works Why constraints beat the blank canvas — Stravinsky, and the bet that produced Green Eggs and Ham in 50 words The honest catch: when a commission becomes a cage instead of a doorway, and how to tell the difference This week's homework: take the one commission you'd normally turn down — the weird request, the subject you'd never choose, the client who wants something slightly off from your usual. Say yes to it. Then watch where it drags you. Reply or DM me what you learned — I read every single one. Resources mentioned: Art Storefronts — the storefront engine for working artists The Mucha Foundation — the Gismonda poster and the birth of Art Nouveau Significant Objects — the experiment that turned $128 of junk into $3,612 with nothing but stories Pearls Before Breakfast — the Washington Post's Pulitzer-winning Joshua Bell subway story Freakonomics: The Hidden Side of the Art Market — how art is really priced (and why prices "only go up") Related episodes: The Gallery Test — Should Artists List Prices on Their Website? The Long Game — Why Your Website Will Still Be Working in 2055 POD and Samples — What Wyland and Gray Malin Actually Do 20 Ways to Grow Your Email List as an Artist — hobbyist or business, the honest cut So here's the takeaway. If you're a hobbyist, make whatever you want, forever, and be happy — there's no shame in it. But if you want a business, stop waiting for the market to reward your purity, because it never will. Go meet it. Say yes to the commission, the weird job, the thing you'd never have chosen — because that yes creates a customer, which is the only thing that makes you a business, and it just might drag you, like it dragged Mucha off that holiday shift, straight into the work you were put here to make.

Welcome to another episode of the Marketing That Leads Podcast. Today, we delve into how I grow my email list with blog content, content repurposing, SEO, podcast marketing, evergreen marketing, and lead generation without writing from scratch. I share how to turn existing content into searchable blog posts that build trust, grow your audience, and work for you on autopilot. Here's what to expect from this episode:Why blogging does not mean starting from a blank pageHow I repurpose podcasts and content into blog postsWhat makes content discoverable through SEO and searchHow evergreen blog content supports email list growthWhy a content system works better than constant creation⁠⁠

You don't own your followers. You own your list. Every platform you're on is rented — the landlord can change the rules or close the door anytime. Your email list is the one audience nobody can take from you. The good news: it doesn't have to be huge. Three hundred of the right people is enough to run a real art business — which is exactly why you want three thousand, then thirty thousand, then three hundred thousand. This is the foundational one: why email matters, the creative ways to capture it, and the latest tradecraft. Almost no artists do this well. (We covered why the basics outlast everything in The Long Game — this is the basics, weaponized.) The unlock isn't new places. It's the places you're already standing — the booth, the bio link, the DM, the box you're shipping, the car in your driveway. Every one is a capture opportunity you're wasting. In this episode: The trifecta — phone, email, snail mail — and why email is the cheapest and easiest one to own Hobbyist or business? The honest cut, and why every opportunity is an email-capture opportunity The four online venues: your website (footer to popup to content upgrades), bio links, DMs, and comments The 11–15 second popup rule — the delay that converts at 6.45%, and why a zero-second popup kills it The Birthday Club, the new favorite opt-in: some people are birthday people, and if they are, they love it (3–4x) Just ask, then shut up — the DM play most artists never run The three offline venues: in-person events, the QR-code layer, and direct mail The clipboard and the fishbowl — $0 plays that are 150 years old and still work QR car magnets — the hero play nobody in art is running yet (about $35 a pair) Direct mail at $0.40 a piece — your art in 1,000 mailboxes around your gallery for less than a Meta ad The compounding math — how the basics become $800K–$1M over ten years Wyland and Gray Malin run this at the highest level — get on their lists and watch (see POD and Samples) This week's homework: pick three tactics. One online, one offline, and one you'd never have considered. Set them up by Friday. Then reply or DM me your three — I read every single one. Resources mentioned: Art Storefronts — the storefront engine for working artists Linktree — a bio-link service that turns your one link into a mini-website Sticker Mule car magnets — for the QR car-magnet play GotPrint — EDDM direct-mail postcards, ~$0.40 a piece Wyland and Gray Malin — get on their lists for the master class Related episodes: The Long Game — Why Your Website Will Still Be Working in 2055 POD and Samples — What Wyland and Gray Malin Actually Do The Gallery Test — Should Artists List Prices on Their Website? All Oars In — The Anatomy of a Sale So pick your three. A clipboard on the table, a real opt-in in your bio, a magnet on the car. You don't have to run every play — just start capturing in the places you're already standing. Followers are rented. The list is yours. All roads lead to email.

A lot of coaches hit a point where one-on-one work starts to feel maxed out. The client results are there, the demand is growing, but suddenly the business feels heavy. Too many DMs, too many protocols, too many moving pieces. In this episode, Kendra breaks down what it actually looks like to transition from one-on-one coaching into a scalable group program without sacrificing client experience or burning yourself out in the process.She dives into the difference between cohort-style launches versus ongoing enrollment models, why community matters so much in women's health programs, and the systems you need in place before scaling. Kendra also explains why most coaches are trying to grow too early without a real marketing foundation and how building an email list, running webinars, and leveraging paid ads can dramatically simplify client acquisition.This conversation is also a reminder that scaling isn't just about strategy. It's about mindset, boundaries, delegation, and learning how to build a business that actually supports your life instead of consuming it.In this coaching call with Marnee, Kendra discusses: The real reason health coaches plateau even when their offer is working and their close rate is solidThe three things Kendra has seen separate coaches who make it from the ones who don'tWhy persistence beats strategy every single time and what that actually looks like in practiceWhat to do when self doubt, rejection, and a bad week on social media make you want to quitThe mindset shift that turns a struggling health coaching business into a sustainable oneMarnee Dejong's Bio:Marnee DeJong is a certified health coach and former drug and alcohol counselor with a passion for helping women over 40 navigate the hormone chaos of perimenopause.

Building a physician newsletter that scales without stealing your life? It's possible.  In this episode of Bootstrap MD, host Dr. Michael Woo-Ming, builds on last week's newsletter startup advice, sharing proven strategies to reach 1,000 subscribers sustainably. He debunks ineffective tactics like daily social blasts or premature ads, emphasizing simplicity: pick 2-3 channels (LinkedIn, guest spots, content syndication) and show up consistently for 6-12 months.   Dr. Woo-Ming outlines the "three-channel method"   LinkedIn for credibility (2-3 posts/week with clinical-business-CTAs),  guest appearances for trust transfers (50-200 subs per spot),   syndication for compounding reach (repurpose emails to Medium/YouTube).   He covers leverage cascades like welcome sequences, referral prompts, and newsletter swaps to amplify growth 30-40%.   With a 6-month roadmap (setup in months 1-2, momentum in 3-4, doubling down in 5-6), this episode equips doctors to turn email into a business asset, filling webinars, validating courses, and gaining leverage, while maintaining clinical work.  Three Actionable Takeaways:   Master LinkedIn Basics: Post 2-3 times in a week with a clinical observation, business parallel, and CTA structure; pin your newsletter signup in the featured section and spend 15 mins per day commenting meaningfully to build engagement and visibility. Aim for 100-150 subscribers in the first 1-2 months. Book Guest Spots Strategically: Pitch 1-2 podcast, webinar, or medical society appearances quarterly; lead with your lead magnet and end with a signup CTA. Leverage alumni networks for easy yeses, targeting 200-800 subscribers over 6 months from trust transfers. Syndicate Smartly: Write one weekly email as core content, then repurpose to LinkedIn, Medium, YouTube monthly. Add PS referral prompts and track with custom links, expect 40-80 new subscribers per month as old content compounds, scaling passively.

Tired of shouting into the social media void? What if your email list became your most powerful tool for building authority and staying connected?  In this practical episode of Bootstrap MD, host Dr. Mike Woo-Ming draws from his experience running two newsletters to deliver a step-by-step guide on creating emails that people actually open and read. He breaks down common failure modes: writing like you're charting or only emailing when you want sales, and offers a repeatable structure for hooks, stories, and soft calls to action.  Dr. Woo-Ming covers content buckets tailored for physician entrepreneurs, ideal sending frequency, simple tools like ConvertKit or Beehiiv, and organic growth strategies. Whether you're a doctor launching a side gig or a healthcare entrepreneur nurturing leads, this episode shows how newsletters foster trust and relevance without overwhelming your schedule. Perfect for busy physicians who want to own their audience and turn emails into meaningful conversations that drive opportunities. Three Actionable Takeaways: Newsletters Build Relationships, Not Just Lists Email is the only channel without algorithms blocking you, focus on staying relevant in readers' minds through consistent, value-driven content rather than sales pitches. Avoid Common Pitfalls Like Inconsistency and Self-Focus Write conversationally, not formally; send weekly to build habits; and reframe content around what helps your audience, not announcements about yourself. Use Simple Structures and Tools for Success Hook with provocative openers, share stories or insights, and end with soft CTAs. Tools like Beehiiv simplify workflows, while lead magnets like checklists grow your list organically.   About the Show:  Bootstrap MD is the ultimate podcast for physician entrepreneurs looking to escape traditional healthcare and control their financial futures.

Think Pinterest is just for recipes and DIY projects? Think again.In this episode, Allison sits down with Nadalie Bardo—aka Your Pin Coach—to pull back the curtain on how Pinterest can become your top-of-funnel secret weapon.

You don't need a giant following to build a powerful email list—you need a clear plan, the right tool for your stage, and a freebie your audience actually wants. We walk through a practical, teacher-focused roadmap to get from “mom + 50” to thousands, with real numbers, platform trade-offs, and a system you can set up in a weekend. If you've been stuck wondering whether Flowdesk or ConvertKit fits your workflow and budget, we compare simplicity versus automation, how pricing changes impact growth, and why a generous free tier can help you reach profitability before you ever pay a bill.From there, we design a high-converting opt-in: an exclusive, classroom-ready resource tied to your best product lines, presented on a clean landing page with a single clear action. Then we craft a three-email welcome sequence that delivers the freebie, builds trust with quick implementation tips, and gently introduces related resources without feeling pushy. We also share the ten-cents-per-subscriber-per-month benchmark so you can evaluate ROI and stop second-guessing your tool costs as your list scales.Traffic doesn't have to be chaotic. We lay out steady sources that compound: product insert opt-in pages inside your resources, notes to TPT followers, a supporting blog post with Pinterest pins, and social posts that demonstrate the freebie's value in seconds. When you're ready, add strategic collaborations and freebie swaps to accelerate growth with aligned audiences. The result is a repeatable engine that moves people from discovery to trust to action—and puts you in control of your audience, not the algorithm. If this playbook helps, follow the show, share it with a TPT friend, and leave a quick review telling us your current list size and next milestone.Try Kit for FREE: https://partners.kit.com/ho7wpn6n0fo4-pricingSave 50% off Your First Year of Flodesk: https://flodesk.com/c/KTH5RZCheck Out My YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/laurenfultonMy Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laurentschappler/My Other YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LaurenATschFree Rebranded Teacher Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/749538092194115 Support the show

How do you turn Instagram engagement into subscribers who actually want to hear from you?ManyChat is more powerful than most creators are using it for. If you're only using ManyChat's “comment X to get Y” automation, then you're part of the 70% who are also missing out on the kind of connection that actually helps you grow your brand and grow your email list in a meaningful way.After attending the Instagram Summit by ManyChat in Hollywood, I walked away with two main takeaways:ONE. Automation should be used in a way to make space for real connection. TWO. Your email list is still your most valuable marketing asset—and you're underutilizing the best tools to grow your email list.So let's talk about using ManyChat strategically—as the bridge between casual Instagram engagement and real, human relationships that actually convert. This will help you grow your email list intentionally.What you'll hear in this episode:The #1 mistake creators make when using Instagram automation (and why it's hurting your list growth).What ManyChat's CEO revealed about why most DMs never get answered — and how to fix it.My three biggest takeaways from the Instagram Summit that will help you grow your email list.Practical ways to use ManyChat flows, tags, and segmenting to nurture subscribers with more intention.If you've been relying on quick automations but not seeing real conversions, this episode will show you how to build a better bridge — from Instagram follower to loyal subscriber.

Episode Summary One of the biggest frustrations I hear from health experts is this: “I'm consistent with my emails, but my list is mostly full of past and current clients. How do I actually get new potential clients on there?” In this episode of The Nourished CEO Podcast, I share a behind-the-scenes coaching call from my Nourished Business Accelerator (NBA) program. You'll hear from an incredible women's hormone health practitioner who has her lead magnets and newsletters in place—but is struggling to attract the right new subscribers. I break down why “join my newsletter” doesn't work (and never has), how to create a lead magnet that actually converts, and why messaging specificity is the key to growing your list with people who are ready to invest in your services. If your email list growth feels stagnant or you're attracting freebie-seekers who never buy, this episode will show you how to close that gap. Timeline & Highlights [00:00] – Why list growth isn't about “more subscribers”—it's about the right subscribers [02:33] – An NBA client's challenge: consistently emailing but only attracting current/past clients [04:13] – Why “join my newsletter” doesn't work and what to do instead [07:47] – The power of one strong, specific lead magnet (instead of dozens of general ones) [09:42] – Why a lead magnet on “hormone labs” won't convert as well as one tied to a specific symptom (like hair loss) [11:40] – The #1 problem holding 95% of health experts back in their marketing: lack of specificity [15:25] – A personal story: why urgent, frustrating symptoms drive buyers to take action immediately [18:26] – How to identify what your ideal client truly cares about and will pay to fix [22:20] – Why you must “sell” every step of the process—even your free lead magnets [25:24] – My weekly practice: reviewing content to ensure it speaks to actual buyers [28:35] – Why niche clarity and hyper-specific messaging are non-negotiable for growth Top 5 Quotes from This Episode “Nobody wants to be on anyone's email list unless they're getting value.” “One strong, specific lead magnet that ties into your overall methodology is all you need to grow your list.” “If somebody doesn't know they have the problem you solve—or they don't care—they will not buy. Period.” “Specificity will attract the person who's really looking for a solution, not just someone casually interested.” “Your job is to speak to what they already care about, not five steps ahead of them.” Take Action When your email marketing gets more specific, your list stops being filled with random subscribers—and starts filling up with future clients. If you're ready to attract buyers, not just browsers, this episode will show you how.

If you're not leveraging LinkedIn to grow your email list, you're leaving connections—and conversions—on the table! Here's how to turn your profile into a lead-generating powerhouse: 1️⃣ Optimize Your LinkedIn Background Banner: Your banner is prime real estate to showcase your personal brand. Use it to communicate who you are, what you offer, and how you can help your audience. A clean, professional design with your tagline and website or opt-in call-to-action can make all the difference. 2️⃣ Include a Clickable Link in Your Headline Section: LinkedIn now allows clickable links right in your profile headline! Use this to direct your audience to a lead magnet, your website, or an email opt-in page. Make it clear what they'll gain by clicking, such as “Get My Free [Resource Name] Today!” 3️⃣ Add a Lead Magnet to Your Featured Section: The “Featured Content” section is a hidden gem! Upload your lead magnet as a direct download, link to a landing page, or highlight a post that drives traffic to your email opt-in. Pro tip: Ensure it's visually appealing and offers immediate value.
