Most people build a funnel first and then try to find traffic. But that's completely backward! In this episode, I share why your number one focus should be gathering an audience long before your funnel launches. I'll break down the exact strategies I've used to dominate in marketing. Whether it's building ClickFunnels into the category leader or creating products that people are already lined up to buy. If you're struggling to get momentum, this episode is for you. Key Highlights: Dig your well before you're thirsty - If you wait until your funnel is live to build an audience, you've already lost. The two paths to traffic - Working your way in (free strategies) vs. buying your way in (paid ads). You need both, but I'll tell you where to start. The power of relationships - Most successful marketers don't rely on ads alone. I'll show you how connecting with the right influencers can send a flood of traffic your way. Why publishing content is non-negotiable - You can't just build an offer and hope people show up. I'll explain why consistent content is the secret to long-term success. How I've used these strategies to dominate competitors - From beating Leadpages to taking on GHL, I'll share the mindset and tactics that keep ClickFunnels ahead. If you're serious about selling online, you can't afford to wait until launch day to find your audience. The second you decide to start a business, you need to start gathering the many. In this episode, I'll break down exactly how to do that, so when your funnel is ready, you've already got a crowd waiting to buy! https://sellingonline.com/podcast https://clickfunnels.com/podcast Special thanks to our sponsors: Northwest Registered Agent: Go to northwestregisteredagent.com/marketingsecrets to start your business with Northwest Registered Agent.

When I tell you we hung off every word Vanessa L. Torres had to say I tell no lie! We were so lucky to have this truly magical human on the show and can't wait for you all to tune in! But first, here's more about Vanessa: Vanessa L. Torres is a Mexican American author, an adventure seeker, and a mom to a flashlight-under-the-covers-reader. She is a thirty-year veteran of the fire service and is equally proud to call her herself an author. Her debut young adult novel, The Turning Pointe, released in 2022. When she's not writing, she balances her time between anything outdoors, and spending time with her family close to home in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Vanessas latest book ON THE WINGS OF LA NOCHE is out now! About ON THE WINGS OF LA NOCHE: Death waits for Noche Villanueva. In her human form, she is a lone science girl, grieving the tragic accidental drowning of her girlfriend, Dante Fuentes. In her other reality, Noche is shapeshifter, an ethereal jet-black owl called a Lechuza, an escort for the dead to the mystery of the ever after. It is her legacy, her duty, one she now refuses to honor for Dante because she can't fathom letting her go, even though every moment Dante's spirit roams the earth, the more she fades into the unknown to be lost forever.Then, a new kid comes to town, Jax. They connect in a way Noche can't ignore, her heart beating like it hasn't since before Dante died. Noche begins to imagine a life without the ghost of her first love, until Jax reveals his own precarious mortality, which leaves Noche questioning her inherited purpose and everything she's ever believed in.

Message by Chris Brown on February 1, 2025. Does Christianity have to be the only way for all people to get to Heaven? What about other religions filled with good people who are doing good things, or those who live in places where the Bible isn't being taught? Can we believe in Jesus without having to make it necessary for everyone else to have to believe in Jesus? Today is our best shot at answering these questions and many others like them.

THE WINNER—Clang! Clink! Bang! Hear that? It's the sound of all the hardware that Jake Silverstein's New York Times Magazine has racked up in his almost eleven years at its helm: Pulitzers and ASMEs are heavy, people!When we were preparing to speak to Jake, we reached out to a handful of editors who have loyally worked with him for years to find out what makes him tick. They describe an incredible and notably drama-free editor who fosters an amazing vibe and a lover of both literary essay and enterprise reporting who holds both an MA and an MFA. As one New York Times Mag story editor put it, Jake's superpower is his “vigorous and institutionally-shrewd support of skilled reporters with strong voices pursuing projects that were just a little beyond the paper's ordinary comfort zone.” Here's a theory we set out to test in this interview—one that we've floated in our newsletter, The Spread, for years now: Is The New York Times Magazine the best women's magazine out there? Yes, we're talking about the stories they produce under Jake, like Susan Dominus's ASME-winning, game-changing story about menopause and hormone replacement therapy, and Linda Villarosa's feature shining a light on the Black maternal health crisis. But we're also talking about the woman-loaded top of the Times Mag masthead, on which Gail Bichler, Jessica Lustig, Sasha Weiss, Ilena Silverman, and Adrienne Greene reign supreme—and seriously outnumber their male counterparts. And we could spend all day name checking favorite writers, like Dominus and Villarosa, but also Emily Bazelon, Danyel Smith, Taffy Brodesser-Akner, Irina Aleksander, Jordan Kisner, Azmat Khan, Pam Colloff, Nikole Hannah-Jones, J Wortham, Wesley Morris. We could go on and on—you get the idea! So, did Jake agree with our women's mag theory? And what is it like to have the deep resources it takes to make these kinds of stories these days? You'll have to listen to find out.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Commercial Type and Freeport Press. Print Is Dead (Long Live Print!) is a production of Magazeum LLC ©2021–2025

In this week's podcast episode, we're diving into a topic that's just as important to a photographer as mastering your camera settings: your mental health. Being a photographer isn't just about creating beautiful images—it's also about navigating the challenges that come with life, whether photography is your hobby or a job. From the pressures of running a business to dealing with creative burnout, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. My guest, Tyson Martin from the Life of Phys podcast, and I discuss the unique mental health struggles photographers face, like solitude, imposter syndrome, and the constant hustle to stay relevant in a competitive industry. More importantly, we share strategies to manage stress, set boundaries, and prioritize your well-being so you can thrive both creatively and personally. Whether you're juggling deadlines or just feeling the weight of comparison on social media, this episode is a reminder that you're not alone—and that taking care of your mental health isn't just important; it's essential. Tune in for practical advice, personal stories, and a little inspiration to help you focus on what matters most: you.

Last week we talked about how some recipes deceive you into thinking they're easier than they are. This week we look at what makes a great recipe.

Agency book writing and publishing can seem like a daunting mountain to climb. But with the right people to help you through the process, it can be one of the best things you can do to uplevel your thought leadership efforts. That's why this week, I invited Shadley Grei, an agency book publishing expert and newer member of AMI, onto the show to share how agency owners can start thinking about writing their first (or next) book with the help of a ghostwriter. He shares how his agency helps other agency owners discover if their ideas are ready to become a full-fledged book, and how to start compiling it all to collaborate with a ghostwriter. As the visionaries of the agency, we need to be always looking for the new, unspoken angles of things in the work we do, and Shadley helps agency owners share their perspectives without the pressure of having to do it alone. If you think you might be ready to finally get your idea or vision out in writing in 2025, this episode has all the info you need to start turning that idea into reality.
