📧 Can we be honest for a minute? I know there are lots of reasons to grow a business, but if I'm being completely honest, most of the time I'm thinking... "I just want to grow the damn email list." 😆 And I'm guessing I'm not the only one. The challenge is that there are so many ways to do it. You could host a summit, create a bundle, guest on podcasts, focus on collaborations, build a community, apply to speak, or try a dozen other visibility strategies. None of those are wrong. The question is: which one makes the most sense for YOU right now? So let's have some fun. _____________________________________________ Tell me: 📧 About how big is your email list right now? AND 🎯 Where would you love it to be 6 months from now? I'll jump into the comments and tell you what visibility move I'd focus on next. Are you trying to grow your list? Increase your visibility? Find more collaboration opportunities? Land more clients? I'll jump into the comments and tell you what visibility move I'd focus on next. 😆 👇 Let's do it.

A few years ago, if someone had told me that collaborations would become one of the biggest drivers of growth in my business, I probably wouldn't have believed them. I thought growth came from creating more content. Posting more. Being online more. Instead, some of my biggest growth came from: ✨ Virtual summits ✨ Bundles ✨ Podcast guesting ✨ Strategic partnerships ✨ Getting into the right rooms I recently joined @Jules White on The Website Success Show to talk about how collaborations helped me grow my business, build my email list, and create opportunities without relying on social media 24/7. One thing we talked about that I think more entrepreneurs need to hear: You do NOT need a huge audience to start collaborating. You just need to start. 🎧 Listen here OR Watch it on YT 💬 Curious... Have collaborations played a role in growing your business yet? Or is it something you've been wanting to explore?

I failed. Apparently my "quick behind-the-scenes tour" of Premium turned into a 12-minute walkthrough because I'm chatty and once I start talking about collaborations, email list growth, visibility, summits, bundles, podcasts, partnerships, and all the cool things happening inside the community... I can't stop. 🤣 But honestly? This video isn't really about what's inside Premium. It's about WHY I built it. A few years ago, I realized something... The fastest growth in my business didn't come from posting more content. It came from getting into the right rooms. The right collaborations. The right partnerships. The right audiences. And once I figured that out, everything changed. My email list grew. My visibility grew. My opportunities grew. So I built the thing I wish I'd had when I was starting. A place where people can learn how to grow through collaborations, events, visibility opportunities, and relationships. Anyways... If you've been curious about what I've been building behind the scenes, here's your peek behind the curtain. 👀 🎥 Watch the walkthrough below. P.S.

I've been doing a little housekeeping behind the scenes and cleaned up the Collaboration Hub for you all. ✨ I've removed expired opportunities, organized a few things, and made it easier to find what's currently open. Over the next few days, I'll also be adding more collaboration opportunities, including podcasts, bundles, speaking opportunities, events, and other ways to get in front of new audiences. 🎤📚🤝 A couple of reminders: ✅ Check the Collaboration Hub regularly ✅ Apply for opportunities that interest you ✅ Share your own opportunities if you have something coming up ✅ Don't assume your audience is "too small" to participate Some of the best connections happen because someone decided to put themselves out there. ❤️ If you've got a bundle, summit, podcast, speaking opportunity, freebie swap, collaboration request, or event coming up, post it in the hub so the community can see it! Let's help each other get into more rooms, make more connections, and grow together. 🚀💕

This one’s a little different 👀 HobbySchool is always looking for speakers → no deadline → ongoing events throughout the year So instead of applying to ONE event… you’re getting into a pool for future opportunities. 💰 Cost: ✔ Free to apply + speak 👀 My take: This is more: ✔ low-pressure visibility ✔ practice speaking ✔ getting comfortable showing up Not so much: ❌ fast list growth ❌ super strategic collab 👉 Apply here: https://www.hobbyscool.com/speaker 💬 Be honest… would you do something like this just to get reps in?
