Feeling stuck in your subscription box business — even though you’re showing up, posting, emailing, and doing all the things?
Here’s the truth you need to hear:
You’re not failing. You’re just not being seen.
In this Friday Fuel episode, I break down the real reason you’re not growing (spoiler: it’s not your product, your effort, or even your strategy). The math of conversion is simple: if you want more subscribers, you need more people to see you and your subscription box.
I’ll walk you through what the numbers actually look like, share the story of a member who thought she was stuck — and what really needed to change — and give you five specific actions you can take in the next 30 days to grow your audience and build the visibility your business needs to thrive.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
- Why your subscriber count probably matches your audience size (and what to do about it)
- The mindset shift you need when growth slows
- Why launching without an audience is a recipe for crickets
- Five visibility-boosting actions you can start today:
- pick one social media platform and show up daily
- run a simple page like ad
- email your list weekly
- run a giveaway
- get on video
