13 MAY. 2024 · Debt - especially personal or consumer debt - feels like a monster most people prefer to shove in a closet, so we’re grateful to get a rare and financially vulnerable testimony of what managing and paying off debt as an entrepreneur actually looks like from our guest, Taylor Aller. Despite making 6-figures as a multi-passionate registered massage therapist, educator and consultant, Taylor didn’t feel like her finances were in a comfortable place. After taking a deep dive into her and her husband’s financial situation, she faced head-on the $65K in consumer debt they had accumulated. In today’s case study, Taylor details how they leveraged a concept called multi-potentialism to monetize a wide range of skills and pay off nearly $70K of debt and interest combined in just 9 months, without burning out.

6 MAY. 2024 · ManyChat has entered the chat in a big way over the last few years, so we’re bringing you a practical case study from an entrepreneur who has successfully leveraged this to skyrocket her post engagement and sales. Video marketing strategist, Keenya Kelly, started using ManyChat in 2020 to gather leads and convert them into paying customers. Her strategy has led to 18% conversion rates and over $15,000 in revenue in the last 60 days alone! Keenya walks us through each step of her chatbot automation sequence (including the exact wording of the messages sent) so you can skip the learning curve and hit the ground running with setting up your own automations. Listen until the end to discover the types of content that trigger the most responses to initiate chatbot conversations, why Keenya doesn’t send fresh leads straight to paid offers, and an innovative way to leverage chatbots to stand out to brands for paid partnerships.

22 ABR. 2024 · Are you misallocating your company’s resources on a product that’s stunting your growth? Today’s case study investigates this dilemma. Michelle Razavi, CEO and co-founder of the gut-friendly food company, Elavi, recently faced this roadblock head on. After successfully launching the company in 2020 with collagen protein bars, she made the tough decision to cut this entire product line - giving up $100,000 in guaranteed revenue in the process - in favor of going all-in on their new (and more promising) product line of dessert cashew butter spreads. Mere months later, Elavi’s dessert butters were picked up by retailing giant Costco, AND they’re now on track to generate $1M this year! It's not easy to let go of something you poured your heart into, but what if doing so could open the door to a new, million-dollar opportunity? Michelle walks us through how she came to this decision, the pitching strategy that got Costco’s attention, and why this pivot 10Xed their revenue.

8 ABR. 2024 · Want to create your own branded app? Try Passion.io for free: https://passion.io/saas-free-trial?_go=ellen26 Recent studies show the average person spends 2 hours and 23 minutes a day on social media platforms, so imagine the power of capturing even a fraction of your dream customer’s screen time and diverting them from mindlessly scrolling to engaging with your business by turning your content into an off-social, destination experience. In early 2022, Megan Sumrell, time management expert and founder of The Pink Bee, launched a branded app for her business in the app store and leveraged it as a top of funnel strategy to convert cold leads into her signature $597 paid program. Instead of paying out of pocket for leads, Megan is getting paid to add new customers to her ecosystem. Todays’ case study takes you step by step through Megan’s hyper efficient funnel that generates hundreds of new leads monthly on auto-pilot while generating multiple six figures in backend revenue. This interview immediately cemented its spot as one of our most unique customer growth strategies shared by a CEO on this podcast.

Check out the 33 FREE resources available to you in Freebie Fest Vol.2: http://ellenyin.com/freebiefestv2 To close out women’s history month, we’re chatting with two trailblazers disrupting the publishing industry. Lauren Kleinman and Lee Joselowitz are the co-founders of The Quality Edit (TQE), a modern media company at the intersection of content, curation, and conversion. After working with big name publishers like Buzzfeed in their previous marketing roles at the vitamin company Ritual, Lauren and Lee realized that the way these traditional publications were advertising their brand partners was stale and uninspired. They saw an opportunity to change the way publishers collaborate with their brand partners, and after 4 years of executing campaigns, it's clear they’re onto something. In today’s case study, we explore what performance publishing looks like, and how their storytelling strategy combined with simple ad creative has acquired more than 300,000 new customers for their brand partners.

25 MAR. 2024 · You don't need to break the bank to boost your business! Check out the 33 FREE resources available to you in Freebie Fest Vol.2: http://ellenyin.com/freebiefestv2 Is it possible to have a 100% conversion rate?  Marketing strategist Sophia Parra’s case study today proves that with a well-timed nurture event, yes. Sophia started hosting Q&A text parties with her audience last year and found that over the course of one year, all but one participant converted into paying customers. The best part? These simple Q&A parties only required a few hours of her attention a couple times a year, no launch or tech set-up, and did not rely on having a large audience to be effective.  This non-sales event may be the missing precursor to selling out your next launch.  Here’s how she structured each Q&A party - scripts, data, and strategy included.
