Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

649 - Why You’re Visible But Not Booked: 4 Experts Share What to Fix First (Live from our Collective Co-Op Retreat!)
Q: Is podcasting really going to YouTube where video is being added? Is that a necessity, or do you still see growth on audio?
Video can create another path to discovery, but it is not required for success. The best format depends on the audience, the creator's goals, and what they can consistently produce.
649 - Why You’re Visible But Not Booked: 4 Experts Share What to Fix First (Live from our Collective Co-Op Retreat!)
Q: How do we measure what is good, and what standards are you looking at when you are measuring success?
The panel recommends working backward from business goals using conversion percentages, past performance, and capacity, rather than relying on industry averages or vanity metrics alone.
648 - Fewer, Better Things: Raising Your Prices and Slowing Down
Q: What was the point where you're like, okay, I think we need to change this?
There was no single turning point. Customer cancellations often reflected too much accumulating or customers moving into a different season of life, while Gavhane and her husband were also questioning whether they wanted to keep producing a box every month.
648 - Fewer, Better Things: Raising Your Prices and Slowing Down
Q: What does building a life-first business mean to you right now?
Gavhane says it means pausing to assess life as it is, setting boundaries, and recognizing that a decision to say no now can change in a later season.
647 - What Actually Turns Freebie Subscribers Into Buyers
Q: If you have a freebie and let's just say it's not converting, where do you even start to look at the data and break it down to, these are the things I should focus on to fix it?
Klemm recommends checking opt-in and completion rates first, then reviewing how people engage with the lead magnet and follow-up emails. Low quiz completion may point to confusing questions or an unappealing structure, while strong engagement without sales may indicate a problem in the transition or that the free resource gives away too much.
