Not every SaaS success story starts with a multi-million-dollar seed round. While flashy headlines highlight startups raising big in Silicon Valley, most founders are left asking a far more practical question: Should I bootstrap, or go after funding? In this episode, we're joined by Denise Edwards, the founder of SaaS Launch, a platform that helps early-stage SaaS founders secure the right kind of capital and avoid the wrong kind of investor. We dive into the different types of funding available to SaaS founders and explain the real trade-offs between raising capital vs bootstrapping. Denise breaks down dilutive vs non-dilutive funding and what those terms actually mean for your business long-term. But it's not just about money. Denise highlights the intangible value investors can offer, like mentorship, industry connections, and strategic insights, that often outweigh the dollar signs. We also tackle some of the biggest myths and misconceptions founders believe about fundraising. Finally, Denise walks us through the anatomy of a great pitch, what to say, what to avoid, and how to stand out from the crowd. Whether you're scaling with your own savings or prepping for your first round, this episode will give you the tools and insight to make smarter funding decisions for your SaaS startup. Topics Discussed in this episode: How Denise went from working in SaaS to starting SaaS Launch(01:56) The different types of funding available to SaaS founders (06:30) The pros and cons of raising funding vs bootstrapping (09:00) Dilutive vs non-dilutive funding options (11:27) The intangible benefits that investors bring to the table (17:00) Common myths and misconceptions founders have about fundraising (20:00) The KPIs and metrics that investors look at (24:20) The biggest mistakes founders make when pitching investors (30:23) The anatomy of a great pitch (37:33) Mentions: Empire Flippers Podcasts Empire Flippers Marketplace Create an Empire Flippers account Subscribe to our weekly newsletter SaaS Launch Denise's LinkedIn Sit back, grab a coffee, and learn how to take the next step in your SaaS journey with confidence.
Hey there, friends! In this episode, I'm diving deep into a critical question: Are you giving up right before your breakthrough? I share a powerful story about the "Three Feet From Gold" narrative, which perfectly illustrates how close we often are to success when we're tempted to quit. Resistance isn't a stop sign - it's actually a signal that you're on the right path and growth is imminent. Drawing from my personal experiences and work with clients in Simplify, I explore how our mindset plays a crucial role in achieving goals. Many of us interpret challenges as reasons to give up, when in reality, they're opportunities for expansion. I use a relatable TikTok example of a 30-day health challenge to demonstrate how transformation takes time and commitment. The key message? Stay persistent. Your breakthrough might be just around the corner. Whether you're working on a business goal, personal development, or any significant challenge, remember: don't surrender when things get tough. You're likely much closer to your goal than you realize. Want more? Check out my free mini-course at simplifywithAmandaB.com/mini-course to supercharge your productivity. Keep pushing forward!

SEO Visibility for Better Business Structure with SEO Expert, Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MSIn this SEO visibility episode, Favour emphasizes the crucial role of strategic business structure and SEO visibility tactics for online success. The core idea revolves around distributing content across various digital platforms, asserting that a strong online presence necessitates more than just social media. The discussion extends to the importance of keyword research, content pillars, and analytical tools like Google Search Console and SEO Gets, all aimed at optimizing a business's digital footprint for long-term growth and effective customer engagement.FAQs1. What is the fundamental principle for improving business visibility online?The core principle for improving online business visibility is having a strong business structure. Just as a soccer player needs to be in the right physical position to make a shot, a business needs to be in the right online position to make sales. 2. How does an effective website contribute to business visibility and customer retention?An effective website serves as a central hub for your online presence. To stay relevant in 2025 and beyond, a website must consistently create valuable content that encourages visitors to return. This is likened to a restaurant serving good food: if customers love it, they'll come back, tell their friends, and promote it.The more questions a website answers, the more useful and visible it becomes, leading to increased traffic and customer loyalty.3. What is a key SEO visibility tactic discussed, and why is it effective?Podcasting is highlighted as a highly effective SEO visibility tactic. The speaker's own podcast, "We Don't PLAY" has achieved significant global ranking, demonstrating its power. Podcasting is effective because, as a host, you become the author and controller of the content. Listeners learn from you, connect with your message, and are likely to return, share, and subscribe. 4. What is the significance of a business's "online location" and underlying internet infrastructure?Even without a physical "brick and mortar" location, a business has an online "location" rooted in its website and underlying internet infrastructure. This includes its domain name, which is managed by entities like ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) and translated by DNS (Domain Name System) into an IP address, connecting users to the desired website. Just as a physical business is registered within a state, an online business has its digital "address." Understanding this infrastructure, including elements like DNS records and mail exchange records for business emails, is crucial for maintaining operational stability, ensuring proper email function, and effectively distributing a business's online presence globally.Access to Resources ⬇️Need SEO Services?>> Join our club community for exclusive information

As Benjamin Franklin famously said, “In this world, nothing is certain except death and taxes.” But for online business owners, taxes aren't always so certain, especially when it comes to sales tax. In this episode, we're joined by Jessica Rhoads. Jessica is an internationally experienced CPA and self-confessed “dumpster fire accountant” who specializes in helping business owners untangle messy tax situations.

Ready for your most strategic summer yet? As teacher-sellers, our summer break offers the perfect opportunity to grow our TPT businesses—not necessarily because we have more time, but because we have more flexibility to focus on impactful strategies that set us up for success when the classroom chaos returns.This episode breaks down a four-pillar approach to summer TPT growth that won't leave you overwhelmed or burnt out. Rather than attempting to implement every possible strategy, I guide you through selecting just one focus from each essential category: product creation, marketing, back-to-school preparation, and business expansion.For product creation, discover how batching seasonal resources, updating best-sellers, or creating mini-product lines can maximize your efforts. Learn why summer is the perfect moment to capture authentic marketing content while you're deep in creation mode, and how to leverage low-effort engagement strategies that build relationships when both you and teachers have more bandwidth to connect.The most successful teacher-sellers prepare strategically for back-to-school season, creating freebie funnels that lead to their best products and preparing all sale assets before the rush begins. Summer also provides the rare opportunity to tackle those significant business projects you've postponed—whether implementing email marketing, mastering SEO, or building systems that will save you countless hours throughout the school year.Set yourself up for sustainable success by creating reasonable time budgets for both summer and the upcoming school year. The goal isn't productivity at all costs—it's purposeful growth that allows you to return to your classroom feeling accomplished and prepared, knowing your business is positioned to thrive even during your busiest teaching periods.What summer strategy will make the biggest difference in your TPT business this year?

In dieser Folge zeige ich dir genau, wie mein viraler Post mit über 270.000 Aufrufen entstanden ist – und vor allem:
Ever feel like you're the assistant in your own business instead of the CEO? You're not alone.In this deeply personal episode, I'm sharing my journey from scattered OBM to soul-aligned coach, and the exact moment I realized that my "successful" business was actually running me instead of the other way around.If you've ever felt stretched thin by client work, stuck reacting to everyone else's priorities, or wondered how your business started controlling your life instead of supporting it, this episode will resonate deeply. I'm pulling back the curtain on what "success" really looked like behind the scenes and the breaking point that changed everything.The truth is, most service providers accidentally become assistants in their own businesses. We think flexibility and constant availability make us valuable, but they often lead to chaos, burnout, and loss of direction. When you're operating inside everyone else's business instead of your own, it's impossible to build something truly scalable and fulfilling.In this episode, I share the mindset shift that transformed everything: moving from "What do my clients need?" to "What actually lights me up?" This isn't just about feeling good (although you will) — building around your unique magic is the smartest business strategy you can implement.Key Points Covered:✨ Why being "fully booked" can actually mean you're losing control of your business✨ The daily reality behind a "successful" OBM business (spoiler: it was chaotic)✨ The breaking point that made me question everything✨ How I reclaimed my voice and rebuilt around my strengths✨ What true business alignment actually feels like✨ Why your unique magic isn't just nice-to-have — it's your competitive advantageIf you're ready to stop being the assistant in your own business and start leading something extraordinary, this episode will show you exactly how to make that shift.
Episode 161: Grab the Ultimate Ad Script right HERE - https://join.digitaltrailblazer.com/ultimate-ad-scriptMany online business owners feel trapped in a marketing arms race, believing they must make outrageous promises and manipulative tactics to compete. This leads to high refund rates, difficult clients, and burnout.In this episode, Jason Moss teaches us how to build a profitable business through authentic marketing that actually attracts better clients and generates higher returns. He reveals his "Marketing Flywheel" framework and how stepping out of the competition mindset and focusing on becoming a "category of one" through a longer-term, relationship-based approach not only feels better but is actually more profitable than short-cycle funnels, often producing dramatically higher returns on ad spend while building a business you can be proud of.About Jason Moss: Jason is a multi-six-figure business coach who helps online business owners scale with ethical, high-integrity marketing strategies. Starting his coaching business in 2016 with just $4,728 in revenue, he spent years refining what truly works.Now, he leads a thriving global community, has helped over 1,000 clients, and has scaled his own business to $500K+ per year.Passionate about sustainable growth, Jason empowers entrepreneurs to build profitable businesses that feel good and create lasting impact.

The golden age of affiliate sites may be behind us, but can affiliate sites still make good money? And are websites in general still a good investment? In this episode, Greg speaks with Nathan Hamilton, a former equity analyst who shifted into buying and growing online businesses. Nathan recently acquired dividend.watch, a dividend investing platform that helps users discover stocks, track income, and manage their portfolios in one place. Nathan explains how Google's algorithm updates and the rise of AI have reshaped the affiliate landscape. While many content sites have struggled, he shares which strategies still work and what kinds of online businesses are best positioned for success today. He also walks through his acquisition process, what he looks for in a deal, how he evaluates growth potential, and why he moved away from affiliate sites in favor of more product-driven platforms. As a non-technical buyer, Nathan offers helpful lessons on managing a tech-heavy site without technical expertise. Drawing from his financial background, Nathan compares investing in online businesses to buying stocks, weighing the risks, rewards, and potential ROI of each. Finally, Nathan flips the script on Greg, asking how he's seeing affiliate site owners adapt to today's SEO challenges and what strategies successful operators are using to diversify their traffic and revenue streams. If you're wondering whether content sites still have a future, or you're a would-be investor trying to choose between stocks and digital businesses, this episode is packed with firsthand insight you won't want to miss. Topics Discussed in this episode: Nathan's background and how he ended up flipping sites (02:19) What Nathan looks for in an acquisition (05:47) How the algorithm updates affected Nathan's sites and how to thrive moving forward (07:32) Nathan's growth plan for his newly acquired business (12:35) The best online business models to invest in right now (21:10) Nathan's experience taking over an existing business (22:36) Nathan's advice for non-technical buyers looking to acquire a business (24:28) The ROI of buying digital businesses vs buying stocks(27:12) Nathan's Questions for Greg How is Greg seeing affiliate sites manage the current SEO and AI environment (30:42) What strategies are people using to diversify beyond SEO?

In this episode, I dive deep into how overwhelm is actually a safety mechanism for our brain. I explore why we default to feeling overwhelmed when facing challenges or stepping outside our comfort zone. The key insights include understanding that overwhelm is our brain's primitive way of protecting us from perceived danger, which can prevent us from taking action. I share strategies to break through overwhelm, such as:Recognizing it as a defense mechanismBreaking tasks into manageable stepsPrioritizing what matters mostSetting boundariesCreating space for rest and recoveryThe episode provides practical advice for business owners on managing multiple roles, avoiding burnout, and reframing overwhelm as a signal of growth. My goal is to help listeners transform overwhelm from a roadblock into an opportunity for personal and professional development.Want more?
