Marketing & Audience Growth

I used X back when it was Twitter for awhile. I stopped using it around 2015 I think it was because it was becoming too political. I moved over to Facebook as a means to talk to people online as well as for business purposes. I was able to get a small successful business built off a Facebook page but after Covid hit, it tanked. I stopped bringing in revenue through it. I am not sure if I should continue with Facebook for future plans or try X. I heard you can earn revenue on the platform as well which would be helpful.

I am in a subject line rut. Everything I write feels like a newsletter header. Share the last subject line that actually got you above average opens. I need some inspiration.

I have tried "click here," "learn more," "get started," and "book a call." My click rates are mediocre. What call to action actually gets people to take the next step? I need something that converts.

I’m just trying to understand how people actually turn Instagram into income. Not the usual obvious stuff, but the real, practical ways people are monetizing their accounts. Would love to know what actually works in real life.

For email campaign ideas, do you tend to break down what other brands are doing, or do you rely on dedicated resources like blogs, newsletters, or creative platforms..

I spent around $700 promoting my YouTube channel through Google Ads and YouTube Studio, and gained nearly 11k subscribers. Once I stopped running ads, new videos barely got 30 views, and almost none came from subscribers. Engagement vanished fast. From my experience, ads can inflate numbers, but they don't always build a real audience.

I’ve seen people say they work in advertising or marketing and started wondering if there’s actually a real difference between the two or if they’re basically the same thing

For a while I was on that "post every day" train. More content = more growth, right? Figured out it was just a numbers game. Ended up with more posts, less engagement and a growing feeling was just making noise. Quality was definitely slipping. Pulled back to 3-4 times a week. Started actually thinking about what I was putting out. Engagement went up and felt less burnt out too. I know consistency matters but I wonder if we've taken it too far. Anyone else find better results after slowing down?

I noticed this maybe 6 or 7 years ago through my employer that responses and clicks are both down via e-mail marketing. Now I am sure in certain areas it still works fine, but with better spam filters and people having more control over what they do and don't see, I feel like a lot of marketing via e-mail has died. I am sure there are better more nuance approaches to it today than there was 10 or even 20 years ago. I am just not sure what they even are. Is e-mail marketing still worth investing time into?

I’m curious about things like email marketing, Google ads, tagging, and collaborations. If you have any solid podcast growth strategies or useful resources for learning more, I would really appreciate it.

Hey everyone, I’ve been thinking about starting to build my personal brand on social media but I’m not sure what direction to take. Most advice says to stick to one niche, but I’m interested in things like digital marketing, AI tools, content creation, and online business. Should I focus on just one of these or try to mix them together? And how do I start from zero...Thanksss

I have tried blog posts, podcasts, YouTube, and Instagram. Each gets engagement but not necessarily buyers. What content format has actually brought you paying customers, not just followers?

I’m 33, and I often feel like I don’t have much to offer in friendships. I don’t really have hobbies or strong interests, and most of my free time just goes into scrolling online and watching videos. I also deal with social anxiety, which makes it harder for me to connect with people. Right now, I just feel a bit empty and without clear goals or direction in life.

I create one piece of content and want to maximize it. But every time I repurpose, it feels like I am saying the same thing. How do you reuse content across platforms without boring your audience?

I have been blogging for a year and I cannot tell if it is working. Traffic is up but revenue is flat. What metrics do you actually track to know if your content marketing is delivering ROI?

I spent months trying every growth hack out there. Better lead magnets, popups at the right time, Instagram stories, even a couple of ads which cost more than they made. Nothing really worked. Maybe five or ten new subscribers a week if I maybe lucky. Then I noticed something. Every time I replied to a comment on my blog or YouTube, I started mentioning my newsletter at the end. Just one line. Nothing pushy. Something like "I write more about this in my newsletter if you're interested." That was it. Just that one mention every time I talked to someone. Within a month my list grew by 300 people. Not because of some fancy funnel or perfect lead magnet. Just because I actual…

I keep hearing industry averages but I do not trust them. What is your actual open rate on your last few emails? I am sitting at 28% and cannot tell if that is good or terrible. Be honest.

I have been freelancing for three years and my income has barely moved. I keep hearing raise your rates but I am already at the top of what my market seems to pay. Are there other ways to grow revenue without just charging more per hour?

I always nail the pre-launch and the launch but the post-launch follow-up is a mess. What does your email sequence actually look like after the cart closes? How do you keep momentum without being annoying?

I am struggling with content strategy. If I give away my best stuff for free, why would anyone buy? But if I hold back, the free content feels thin. Where do you draw the line?

I have a small launch coming up and a five hundred dollar marketing budget. No room for error. If you had to pick one or two places to spend it, where would you put the money?

I have been blogging consistently for eight months and my traffic doubled last quarter. Everyone keeps saying blogging is dead but my experience says otherwise. Is it actually dead or are people just doing it wrong?

I have a small list and I am terrified of emailing too much. How often do you send without people getting annoyed? I do not want to be that person who spams their list. have a small list and I am terrified of emailing too much. How often do you send without people getting annoyed?
