Funnels used to feel like magic—you'd write a few emails, automate the sequence, and boom, sales. But times (and subscribers) have changed. In this episode, Liz shares why the "set it and forget it" model doesn't cut it anymore, what to do instead, and how to actually make funnels work for you—not against you.
Why Liz turned off her own funnel and focused on weekly newsletters instead
The importance of knowing your audience and why your list is always evolving
How "set it and forget it" funnels can make your business feel cold and outdated
Why live launching helps you understand your customers better than automation ever will
The truth about passive income (spoiler: it's not really passive)
How to use a multi-channel approach—even inside your funnel—to build real connections
The danger of relying on templates without doing the deep audience research first
Funnels fail when they're too impersonal—people want to connect with humans, not robots.
You need live selling experience before automating so you understand what actually converts.
Your audience changes over time; what worked a year ago may not resonate today.

A healthy marketing ecosystem includes multiple touchpoints: email, podcasts, social, live sessions, and beyond.
