In this episode, Paul Dio sits down with Jason Bagley, founder of Growth Experts, joining all the way from Cape Town, South Africa. Jason's story is a study in what happens when a marketer stops selling deliverables and starts selling outcomes. He started as a software developer, moved into web design at the exact moment Squarespace and Wix turned it into a race to the bottom, pivoted to a newsletter-only business, sold that during COVID, and eventually landed on the model he's running today — an all-you-can-eat growth marketing agency where the team doesn't just write the thing, they get the thing live. The heart of the conversation is a single insight Jason had with his very first Copy Check client. He'd written a newsletter and expected feedback on the copy. What he got back was a question about MailChimp. That's when the penny dropped. Clients don't want the newsletter written. They want the newsletter sent. They want the landing page built and live. They want the LinkedIn post published. Jason built Growth Experts around that reframe and it's changed how his agency shows up for every client since. Jason and Paul dig into what actually makes a newsletter worth reading in 2026 (spoiler — content, not cadence), how AI is changing what a small team can ship, and why he keeps telling his team to stop asking for sign-off on the work that isn't mission critical. He also gets honest about the mid-growth phase of his own business — the part nobody puts on LinkedIn — where the challenges get harder even as the numbers get better. The episode closes on attention and legacy. Jason's read on where audience attention is moving is simple. It's moving toward honest people doing real things and showing the mistakes. And his legacy is smaller and more personal than most guests give — his wife first, his kids second because of that, and the entrepreneurs he mentors through EO, planting seeds that go on to change worlds he'll never see.

Unsere freien Stellen: https://join.com/companies/broes-media In dieser Folge des Onlineshop Geflüster Podcasts geht es um eine Sache, die ich bei vielen Shopbetreibern beobachte und auch bei mir selbst kenne: die endlose To-Do-Liste, die nie leer wird, und der Satz "ich komme nicht zu den strategischen Themen, ich muss erst das Operative in den Griff kriegen". Das ist in den meisten Fällen eine Ausrede. Die Liste ist real, aber das Problem ist, dass abgepackte Päckchen, beantwortete Support-Nachrichten und der nächste Social Media Post sofort Dopamin liefern. Strategische Arbeit nicht. Du baust an einer Landingpage, optimierst Email Marketing oder testest Creatives und der Impact zeigt sich erst Wochen später, wenn er sich überhaupt zeigt. Also flüchtest du zurück in die 15-Euro-Stunden-Aufgaben, die du eigentlich abgeben oder über KI laufen lassen solltest. Ich gehe in der Folge an einem konkreten Beispiel aus meinem eigenen Alltag durch, wie ich entscheide was ich schiebe und was ich anpacke, warum die Frage nicht ist wann du Zeit findest, sondern wann du sie dir nimmst, und welche drei oder vier Hebel im Shop wirklich darüber entscheiden ob aus 30k im Monat 300k werden.

Unsere freien Stellen: https://join.com/companies/broes-media In dieser Folge des Onlineshop Geflüster Podcasts geht es um einen Satz, den ich ständig höre: Ich bin Produktmensch, kein Zahlenmensch. Genau das ist oft der Grund, warum ein Shop irgendwann nicht mehr weiterwächst. Viele Brands starten als kreative Idee oder als Hobby, von Quereinsteigern mit Leidenschaft fürs Produkt und ohne BWL-Hintergrund. Das Bauchgefühl und ein gutes Produkt tragen dich erstaunlich weit, meistens bis irgendwo zwischen 20.000 und 100.000 Euro Monatsumsatz. Ich kenne das gut, ich habe Mathe im Abi gehasst und in meinem eigenen Shop lange nicht verstanden, dass manche Bestellungen unterm Strich sogar Geld gekostet haben. Ab einem gewissen Punkt reicht der Riecher allein aber nicht mehr, um auf 200.000, 500.000 oder eine Million im Monat zu kommen, dafür läuft E-Commerce zu datenbasiert. Die gute Nachricht: Du musst dafür kein Controller werden. Im Kern geht es um drei Zahlen. Erstens, wie viel du für einen Neukunden ausgeben kannst und ab wann er profitabel ist. Zweitens, wie viel Umsatz deine Bestandskunden bringen müssen, um die Fixkosten zu decken. Und drittens, wie viel du pro Tag innerhalb dieser Kennzahlen ausgeben darfst, um deine Ziele zu erreichen. Diese drei Zahlen steuern schon einen Großteil deines Unternehmens. Dein Geschmack und dein Bauchgefühl bleiben deine Stärke, aber sie müssen mit den Zahlen Hand in Hand gehen. Wenn du gerade stagnierst und nicht planbar sagen kannst, woher der nächste Wachstumsschritt kommt, fehlt dir genau diese Struktur. Viel Spaß beim Anhören!

Unsere freien Stellen: https://join.com/companies/broes-media In dieser Folge des Onlineshop Geflüster Podcasts geht es um ein sensibles Thema: Wie viel Gehalt zahlst du dir eigentlich selbst aus? Ich kenne viele Shopbetreiber, die ordentliche Umsätze machen, 50.000, 100.000, manchmal 150.000 Euro im Monat, und sich trotzdem nur 2.000 Euro netto auszahlen, teils weniger, teils gar nichts. In der Anfangsphase ist das okay. Aber wer den Shop langfristig aufbaut, muss irgendwann an den Punkt kommen, an dem privat genug hängenbleibt, um gut zu leben und nicht nur über die Runden zu kommen. Ich spreche aus Erfahrung, ich habe mir selbst lange kein vernünftiges Gehalt gezahlt. Deshalb rechne ich es in dieser Folge konkret durch. Für 5.000 Euro netto im Monat brauchst du rund 9.000 Euro brutto, weil du nah am Spitzensteuersatz bist. Dazu Rücklagen für die Unternehmenssteuern und einen Puffer fürs Wachstum, macht etwa 10.000 bis 20.000 Euro Profit im Monat. Bei einer realistischen Marge von 10 bis 20 Prozent bedeutet das 150.000 bis 200.000 Euro Netto-Umsatz, also nach Steuern, Rabatten und Retouren, nicht die Zahl, die du in Shopify siehst. Darunter ist ein Shop für die meisten eher ein zeitintensives Hobby. Wer sich jeden Tag den Arsch aufreißt und trotzdem am Existenzminimum lebt, betreibt auf Dauer Selbstausbeutung. Dann braucht es entweder bessere Zahlen oder eine ehrliche Entscheidung. Viel Spaß beim Anhören!

Unsere freien Stellen: https://join.com/companies/broes-media In dieser Folge des Onlineshop Geflüster Podcasts geht es um eine Frage, die kaum jemand ausspricht, die sich aber viele Shopbetreiber insgeheim stellen: Bin ich zu blöd, meinen eigenen Onlineshop zu führen? Ich kenne dieses Gefühl selbst. Wenn der eigene Shop stagniert, wenn man Dinge probiert, von denen man überzeugt war, und das Ergebnis bleibt aus, dann liegt der Gedanke nah, dass etwas mit einem selbst nicht stimmt. Gerade weil so viel von einem selbst in dem Shop steckt. Aber ein Umsatzplateau hat fast immer mechanische Ursachen, die nichts mit dir als Person zu tun haben. Ich nehme dafür das Bild vom Auto: Wenn ich einen kaputten Motor reparieren müsste, würde ich es nicht hinbekommen, weil ich die Mechanik nicht kenne. Das macht mich nicht dumm. Genauso ist Stagnation kein Charaktertest, sondern ein fehlendes Bauteil. In neun von zehn Fällen hakt es im System, am Shop, am Angebot, an den Kennzahlen, den Creatives oder am Tracking, und nicht an dir. Niemand ist zu blöd für seinen eigenen Shop. Meistens stimmt nur an ein paar Stellen die Mechanik noch nicht. Viel Spaß beim Anhören!

Anmeldung zum Live-Workshop: https://www.berend-heins.de/live-q4?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=live-q4 In dieser Folge des Onlineshop Geflüster Podcasts lade ich dich persönlich zu unserem ersten Q4 Live Workshop ein. Termin: Mittwoch, 8. Juli, 19:00. Du fragst dich vielleicht, warum jetzt schon, Q4 ist doch noch zwei Monate weg. Genau das ist der Punkt. Erfolgreiches Q4 wird nicht im November gemacht, sondern im Sommer. Wer ins Jahresendgeschäft mit vollem Konto und voller Email Liste reingeht, holt deutlich mehr raus als die Shops, die im Oktober anfangen sich Gedanken zu machen. Ein volles Konto baust du nicht in einer Woche auf und eine volle Email Liste erst recht nicht. Im Workshop gehen wir den kompletten Fahrplan von August bis Januar mit dir durch. Timing, Reihenfolge der Aktionen, wie du einen roten Faden durch diese Monate bekommst statt Black Friday als einzelnen Tag mit irgendeinem Rabatt zu verbrennen. Und vor allem wie du am Ende mit voller Liste, vollem Konto und ohne Reue rausgehst, dass du deine Marke verheizt hast. Viel Spaß beim Anhören!

Beim nächsten Versuch dasselbe Spiel. Ich erkläre an einem Bild, warum das passiert. Ein Onlineshop ist wie ein Stelzenhaus im Meer. Steht das Ganze nur auf einer Säule, also nur auf einem guten Shop, nur auf einem starken Creative oder nur auf einer guten Conversion Rate, kippt es beim ersten Sturm. Erst ab vier Säulen wird das Fundament so stabil, dass es viel AdSpend aushält. Genau deswegen klappt die Skalierung bei den meisten irgendwann zusammen. Ich gehe durch, welche Säulen das konkret sind, vom Creative-Volumen über Iteration und Vielfalt, Hook-Qualität und Message bis zu Offer, AOV und Conversion Rate. Und ich erkläre warum es fast nie an "der Markt ist zu klein" liegt, sondern fast immer an Sollbruchstellen im eigenen Fundament. Viel Spaß beim Anhören!

Ads gehen immer in Vorleistung. Du gibst erst Geld aus, um Umsatz reinzuholen, nicht andersrum. Wenn du mit Neukunden profitabel bist oder den Break Even triffst, ist genau das der Punkt, an dem du mehr ausgeben musst, nicht weniger, denn der Profit kommt über die Bestandskunden. Wer stattdessen nach Bauchgefühl schaltet und nur aufdreht, wenn die Zahlen zufällig gut aussehen, fährt im Blindflug. Eine Kundin ist seit zweieinhalb Monaten bei uns. Vorher hat sie alles über den Shopify Umsatz gesteuert und sich dann gewundert, wenn zwei Monate später die BWA vom Steuerberater kam. Wir haben die Zahlen sauber gemacht, Ziele definiert und den Spend nach und nach hochgedreht, auch als der Umsatz noch nicht gut aussah. Zwei Monate später hat sich der Umsatz von 30.000 auf 150.000 Euro im Monat verfünffacht, und das profitabler als vorher. Wer sein Budget nach Gefühl statt nach klaren Zielen steuert, lässt nicht nur Umsatz liegen, sondern kann auch schnell viel Geld verbrennen. Viel Spaß beim Anhören!

Unsere freien Stellen: https://join.com/companies/broes-media In dieser Folge des Onlineshop Geflüster Podcasts geht es um eine provokante These: 100% Wachstum pro Jahr sind für kleine Onlineshops keine Option, sondern Pflicht. Anfang des Jahres habe ich mit einer Brand, die wir betreuen, über die Jahresziele gesprochen. Knapp eine Million Umsatz in 2025, und die Ambition war: vielleicht 10-20% wachsen. Jetzt ist Juni und der Shop hat sich bereits verdoppelt, 100% Wachstum, obwohl das Mindset am Jahresanfang ein ganz anderes war. Und das in einem Umfeld, das alles andere als einfach ist. 56 Prozent des deutschen E-Commerce-Umsatzes laufen über Marktplätze, bei den Onlineshops bleiben von 95 Milliarden nur rund 42 Milliarden. Gleichzeitig hat sich die Zahl der Shopify Shops in Deutschland von 40.000 Ende 2021 auf 96.000 Ende 2025 mehr als verdoppelt. Mehr Shops, weniger Umsatz pro Shop. Trotzdem ist Wachstum möglich, wenn man die schwierige Wirtschaftslage nicht als bequeme Entschuldigung nimmt. Wer sich darauf ausruht, dass er immerhin nicht verliert, baut kein Unternehmen, von dem am Ende etwas hängenbleibt. Viel Spaß beim Anhören!

Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS breaks down website anatomy, emphasizing that a "pretty" site is useless if it doesn't function technically. He explains the psychology of website navigation, detailing three types of scrolling: eye paths, scroll paths, and decision zones. Guest speakers advocate for starting with a simple, high-converting one-page website on platforms like Wix, rather than getting overwhelmed by complex builds. The conversation also covers the importance of proper logo linking, customized social media icons, and integrating live chat to reduce friction and boost sales.>>

Mark Tluszcz had the career most people would chase: a top consulting job, rapid success, and a clear path forward. But eight years in, he made a move very few would dare to make. He left his high-paying job to start his own firm, faced hundreds of rejections while raising capital, and built Mangrove Capital from scratch. That same contrarian mindset led him to back companies others overlooked, becoming an early investor in Skype and later Chairman of Wix. In this episode, Mark joins Ilana to share how he invested early in Skype, spotted Wix before it became a global company, and why he turned down a $400 million acquisition offer. He also breaks down how to build conviction, embrace rejection, and find opportunities where others see risk. Mark Tluszcz is the co-founder and CEO of Mangrove Capital Partners and chairman of Wix, one of the world's leading website-building platforms. He is widely regarded as one of Europe's most influential venture capitalists, known for his early investments in Skype and Wix.

HTML All The Things - Web Development, Web Design, Small Business
In this edition of Web News, Matt and Mike debate whether AI coding agents are starting to reverse the no-code revolution. Inspired by a recent article about a company abandoning its no-code website and returning to code, the conversation explores how tools like OpenAI Sites, Cursor, and other agentic workflows are changing the way websites are built. Are platforms like Webflow, Wix, and Squarespace facing a new challenge, or will they evolve alongside AI? From agency workflows and client expectations to the future of frameworks like React and Next.js, this episode dives into one of the biggest shifts currently happening in web development.

Most service business websites have the same problem—they look professional, they took months to build, and nobody reaches out. Not because of the design, because the right person lands on it and cannot tell if any of it was written for them. A friend sent me her new website last week—she's a dentist with a side business selling dental products to students and professionals. She said, tell me what you think. So I looked at it and sent her a voice message back: do you want to be the next Amazon or the next Etsy? Because that's exactly what it looked like—white, cold, clinical, products lined up like nobody invited a human to the party. She works inside people's mouths for a living and people trust her completely in her practice. Her website had none of that. Here's what most service business owners don't realize: your website is a decision environment—someone lands on it and within seconds they're already forming an opinion about whether you're worth trusting, not reading carefully, not comparing options, just running one question in the background: is this for me? In this episode: why most service business websites brag and bore at the same time, what "20 years of experience" is actually doing to your credibility, why people form an opinion before they finish reading the first line, what the About page needs to do in 2026 that it never had to do before—including why AI tools are now reading it more than ever—and why redesigning is usually just avoiding the real decision underneath. This one is not about design—it's about what your website is actually saying when you're not in the room. I also talk about the vertical garden website I just built on Wix and why it ended up proving this whole point. You can see it here (it's in Spanish): https://jardinescolgantes.com/

Phil and Kenny sit down with Bonnie Joyce — the photographer and web designer behind some of the best headshots This Commerce Life has ever had (which, admittedly, is a low bar). Bonnie runs Bonnie Joyce Creative Studio, a photography and Wix web design business based in Eastern Ontario, where she's built over 500 websites and shot everything from brand sessions to adoption hearings. In this episode, we get into why Bonnie chose Wix over WordPress — and why that decision actually makes more sense for small business owners than the industry gives it credit for. We talk about the real cost of being locked out of your own website, how AI is reshaping both photography and web design (and where it absolutely cannot replace a human), and what it means to intentionally not scale your business. Bonnie also shares her winding path from political science and copywriting at Zulu Alpha Kilo in Toronto to building a creative studio that she genuinely loves showing up for every day. It's a great conversation about building a business on your own terms — and ignoring everyone who tells you you should be doing more. Check out Bonnie's website and services here: https://www.bonniejoycecreativestudio.ca/ You can find Bonnie here as well: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bonnie-joyce-7215a64/ If you missed our last episode on Expo Antad - you can find it here: https://youtu.be/TnzKD1KBhtw?si=Aqlda7CAFFHmhONd

Missing Wix Girls /// Part 2 /// 916 Part 2 of 2 www.TrueCrimeGarage.com The love between a mother and daughter should be sacred shelter; an untouchable sanctuary that no evil can penetrate. In March 2004, that safe haven would be forever shattered for Jennifer Wix and her daughter, Adrianna. The two have been missing since March 25, 2004. The mystery of the missing Wix girls not only exemplifies the boundless love shared between of mothers and daughters, but also depicts a family scarred by untold grief and lingering, unanswered questions. The agony of spending the last 21 years without Jennifer and Adrianna has kept the family stuck in the past - unable to move forward, yet determined to keep fighting until the truth is finally brought to light, and returning the girls back home. With the 22nd anniversary of the girls' disappearance fast approaching, perhaps this will finally be the year we can lay the girls to rest among their loved ones. If anyone has information about the disappearance of Jennifer and Adrianna Wix, contact the Robertson County Sheriff's Department at 615-384-7981, or the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-TBI-FIND.
