474. The 3 Non-Negotiables of a Coaching Business That Actually Gets Clients

479. Do You Know Where Your Next Client Is Coming From?

If I asked you right now where your next client is coming from…could you answer confidently? In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm talking about one of the biggest differences between coaches who occasionally get clients and coaches who create consistent, predictable income. Because there's a huge difference between getting a client here and there…and actually knowing where your next client is coming from. If you've been getting clients inconsistently, relying on referrals, or wondering why your business still feels so unpredictable despite all the effort you're putting in, then this episode is for you.

478. How to Turn Your Freebie Into a Client-Attraction System

Got a freebie but not sure if it's actually helping you get clients? In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm wrapping up our 4-part freebie series by talking about something I think most coaches miss: your freebie is not just a PDF or link in your bio—it's part of a bigger client-attraction system. I'm breaking down what it actually looks like to turn your freebie into something that consistently brings new people into your world, builds trust, and naturally leads them toward working with you. Because if your freebie is just sitting there getting occasional downloads… but not leading anywhere… then it's probably not doing the job you need it to do. Inside this episode, I walk you through the full flow—from getting eyes on your freebie, to what happens after someone downloads it, to how to know where the breakdown is if it's not converting.

477. Why Your Freebie Isn't Converting (And What to Fix First)

If your freebie isn't turning into clients, the problem is probably not what you think. In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down why so many coaches assume they need to create a brand new freebie…when the real issue is usually somewhere else in the process. Because I see this happen all the time. A coach creates a freebie, promotes it for a little while, doesn't immediately get traction and then decides the answer is to create another one. And then another one. Until suddenly they have 10 freebies and still no consistent leads or clients. But the truth is, your freebie doesn't exist in isolation. There's an entire process that has to work around it—from people seeing it, understanding it, wanting it, downloading it, consuming it, and then actually taking the next step with you. And if one part of that process breaks down, the whole thing feels like it's "not converting." In this episode, I walk you through the full freebie funnel, the five biggest areas where things usually go wrong, and how to actually diagnose the problem before you throw your current freebie away and start over.

476. How to Create a Freebie That Actually Attracts Buyers (Not Freebie Hunters)

Your freebie might be getting downloads but is it attracting actual buyers? In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm continuing the freebie series and breaking down how to create a freebie that brings in the right people—not just people who love collecting free stuff. Because a lot of coaches create freebies backwards. They start by asking things like: "What should I give?" "What would be valuable?" "What should I include?" But that's not the right starting point. The real question is: "What hyper-specific problem is my ideal client desperately trying to solve right now?" In this episode, I walk you through the difference between freebies that attract serious buyers versus freebies that attract people who just want more information. We talk about why specificity matters so much, how to create a compelling promise, and why the goal of a freebie is not to teach everything—it's to solve one urgent problem and create a quick win. If you've been thinking about creating a freebie, or you already have one that's attracting the wrong people (or not converting at all), this episode is going to help you completely rethink how you approach it.

475. What a Freebie Actually Does (And Why Most Don't Work)

You created a freebie…so why isn't it leading to clients? In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm kicking off a brand new series all about freebies—what they're actually supposed to do in your business, why so many of them fall flat, and how to use them the right way so they actually generate leads and clients. Because I see this all the time—coaches spending hours creating guides, PDFs, or templates…only to end up with something that gets a few downloads (maybe), but doesn't actually move anyone forward. If you've created a freebie that isn't leading to clients or you're thinking about creating one but want to do it right the first time, then this episode is for you.
