Episode 293: Stop Selling on Social
In this episode of the Modern Direct Seller Podcast, we’re talking all about what it really means to sell beyond social. The way people shop has changed, and the old approach of opening a group, hosting a party, and waiting for the sales to roll in isn’t delivering the way it once did. We’re unpacking why that shift happened, what social media is actually built for now, and where those real conversations and conversions are happening instead. You’ll learn how to rethink the role of social in your business, what to start measuring for real momentum, and how to build a simple path that turns visibility into actual customers.
Episode 292: Why Your Email List Is the Only Platform You Actually Own with Sami Bedell-Mulhern

Together, we get into why email still converts better than social, the mindset shift that trips up most direct sellers, and where to begin if email marketing has never been on your radar. We also dig into lead magnets, sending frequency, and the simple content habits that keep people engaged without wearing you out.
