What do you do when you have a genuinely engaged email list — great open rates, consistent click-throughs — but your subscribers just won't buy? That's exactly what today's guest, Allie from Allie Scraps, was dealing with. She has 13,000 subscribers, 40%+ open rates, and three to five percent click-through rates. By every metric, that's a healthy list. But she accidentally trained her audience to expect freebies, and now converting them into buyers feels impossible.
In this hot seat episode, I walk Allie through a full strategy reset — from newsletter structure and content planning to sponsorships, offer pricing, and whether a membership is the right next move for a B2C creator in the crafting space. If you've ever felt like your list loves you but won't pay you, this one's for you.
