  MrBeast’s Bestseller Strategy: What Small Businesses Can Learn 30.09.2026 8p

  MrBeast and James Patterson took a familiar Beast Games-style experience and carried it into a completely different format. The result was The Most Dangerous Games, which debuted at No. 3 on The New York Times hardcover-fiction list.What interests me isn’t the size of MrBeast’s audience. It’s how recognizable the experience still feels when it moves from YouTube into a book, a contest and a larger launch campaign.In this episode, I talk about:Why your strongest ideas don’t have to stay in one formatHow to make a new offer still feel recognizably like your brandWhy giving people a smaller experience can help them understand the bigger offerHow founder-led brands can carry the same experience across different levels of the customer journeyThe question to ask when identifying what makes your approach distinctYou don’t need MrBeast-level reach to use this idea. Start with the frameworks, experiences and perspectives people already associate with your work, then look for ways they could travel into something new. Plan your holiday marketingGrab the free 2026 Mindful Marketer’s Holiday Handbook for help planning your Black Friday offer and holiday marketing: https://onlinedrea.com/holiday/Registration is also open for Plan Your Black Friday Campaign With Me.

  Marketing Not Working? Fix These 4 Things Before Spending More 22.09.2026 15p

  When marketing isn’t working, the instinct is often to add something.More content. More ads. Another platform. A better tool. Another funnel.But more attention can’t fix what’s already unclear underneath it. This week, I’m walking through four areas to check before you spend more money or increase your marketing output: your offer, your message, the path from attention to purchase, and what happens after someone shows interest.I break down:How to tell whether your offer is clear enough for someone to understand quicklyWhy your messaging needs to match the problem your buyer actually wants solvedHow good content can attract attention without necessarily attracting the right buyersWhat a clear path from discovering you to purchasing from you can look likeWhy follow-up matters when someone is interested but isn’t ready to buy todayOne post shouldn’t have to complete your entire sales process. Before you add more traffic, content, ad spend, or another platform, find the weakest part of the system and strengthen that first.Join the Mindful Marketing LabIf you’re ready to work on these pieces with support, we’re putting the Q4 planning into action inside the Mindful Marketing Lab.If you joined me live for the Q4 planning workshop, you have until Thursday, September 24 at 11:59 PM ET to join the Lab with your first month for $47.Join here: https://onlinedrea.circle.so/checkout/lab?coupon_code=Q4PLAN

  Burnt Out to Standout with Becky Mollenkamp 15.09.2026 37p

  Podcasting can be one of the most intimate ways to build trust with an audience. It can also turn into a demanding content machine when you feel like you have to keep producing, promoting, and following every rule about what a “successful” show should look like.Becky Mollenkamp and I dig into what sustainable, values-led indie podcasting looks like when you stop measuring your show against expectations built for bigger teams, bigger budgets, and completely different circumstances. From perfectionism and production pressure to download numbers and community support, we look at what helps a podcast stay useful, human, and sustainable over time.We talk about:Why “good enough” can make podcasting more sustainable than chasing perfect productionHow to choose a cadence and format that fit your actual capacityWhy your reason for podcasting matters more than chasing someone else’s download numbersHow community can help with the emotional side of podcast burnoutWhy values-led podcasting spaces need more nuance and fewer one-size-fits-all formulasA sustainable podcast doesn’t have to follow every industry rule. It needs to work for the person creating it, serve the reason it exists, and give you enough support to keep showing up over time.Join us for Burnt Out to StandoutBurnt Out to Standout is an online event for indie podcasters building trust and growing their brands without burning out, happening September 29-30, 2026I’ll be kicking off Day 1 with Creating Community Around Your Podcast at 1pm CT.Get your ticket: https://mic-drop.teachery.co/enroll?a=YrbRpR43

  Marketing Without the Internal Pressure with Alexis Adams 08.09.2026 19p

  You can know what to post, have the strategy, and still sit there overthinking whether you should share it at all.Alexis Adams joins me to talk about the internal pressure that can make marketing feel harder than it needs to, from perfectionism and comparison to old patterns, self-doubt, and the tension between pushing through discomfort and recognizing when something genuinely isn’t aligned.We get into:Why learning and planning can become a safer substitute for actually taking actionHow perfectionism and trying to say everything can make it harder to postHow to tell when fear is something to move through and when it may be a signal to step backWhat comparison can reveal about what you actually wantHow self-trust, confidence, and realistic boundaries shape the way you show up in your businessMarketing without internal pressure doesn’t mean you’ll never feel uncomfortable. It means knowing yourself well enough to understand what’s driving the decision and choosing your next step intentionally.Work with AlexisWebsite: https://www.confidentlytherapy.org/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/confidently.alexis Alexis offers a free 30-minute audit intensive focused on the mindset, perfectionism, people pleasing, self-doubt, or boundary challenges you’re working through.

  Your Marketing Metrics Are Trying to Tell You Something 11.08.2026 25p

  There are approximately 17 bajillion marketing metrics you could track.Views. Reach. Clicks. Saves. Opens. Watch time. Conversion rates. Revenue. Replies. Subscribers.Stare at all of them long enough and congratulations: you now have another full-time job called “checking your analytics and feeling weird about it.”In this episode of the Mindful Marketing Podcast, I’m sharing a simpler way to understand your marketing numbers without letting every low-performing post ruin your afternoon.Because a post with two likes could still bring in a client. Meanwhile, one with six million views might do very little for your business.Ask me how I know. 😅We’ll walk through the five stages of a healthy marketing ecosystem:Visibility: Are new people discovering you?Trust: Are they spending time with your content and getting to know you?Intent: Are they clicking, asking questions, or taking the next step?Conversion: Are they becoming customers or clients?Retention: Are they returning, renewing, and recommending you?You’ll also learn how to choose four or five useful metrics for your business, hold a monthly “data date,” and diagnose which part of your marketing needs attention.We’re also accounting for the metric most dashboards conveniently leave out: your energy.In this episode:Why visible engagement only tells you part of the storyThe difference between attention and buying intentWhat my six-million-view post actually did for my businessWhy some audiences save quietly instead of commenting publiclyHow to match your metrics to the purpose of your contentWhat conversion can look like for product, service, and local businessesHow YouTube became one of my strongest trust-building channelsThe four metrics I recommend reviewing each monthHow to work backward from revenue when diagnosing a marketing problemWhy your marketing system needs to fit the way you naturally communicateHow to include your time and energy when deciding whether a strategy is worth continuingYour numbers are information. When you know which ones matter, they can help you make clearer decisions and build a business that supports your actual life.Resources mentionedGet the free Do Less, Market Better Kit:https://onlinedrea.com/kitInside, you’ll find the Energy Budget Tracker to help you compare the results of your marketing activities with the time and energy they require.Join the Mindful Marketing Lab:https://onlinedrea.com/labJoin me for a monthly Data Date on YouTube:https://youtube.com/onlinedreaExplore Metricool:https://onlinedrea.com/metricoolIf this episode helped you look at your numbers differently, follow the Mindful Marketing Podcast and leave a rating or review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

  Why the Yap on Camera Challenge Is Everywhere 14.07.2026 23p

  In this episode of the Mindful Marketing Podcast, I’m breaking down the marketing strategy behind the Yap on Camera challenge, why imperfect talking head videos are having such a big moment, and why so many smart, capable business owners struggle to explain what they do once the camera turns on.I’m your host, Andréa Jones, and I have a lot of thoughts about what this challenge gets right. For context, I have not personally taken the program, so this is not a review. I’m looking at the positioning, the structure, the audience response, and the bigger content shift happening online right now.Inside the episode, I cover:→ Why the specificity of the Yap on Camera offer makes it easier to sell→ How a defined challenge creates accountability beyond a list of prompts→ Why audiences are responding to more human and less polished video content→ How AI-generated content has increased the value of real personality and lived experience→ Why participants naturally become part of the challenge’s marketing engine→ What business owners can learn from the offer’s reported multimillion-dollar launches→ When a 40-day content experiment could help you communicate more clearly→ How daily posting can create a new capacity problem→ The questions to consider before committing to a visibility challenge→ A simpler seven-video experiment you can try without rearranging your entire life around InstagramFREE RESOURCE: DO LESS, MARKET BETTERBuild a simpler marketing system around your real capacity, your strongest ideas, and the offers you actually want to sell.→ Get the Do Less, Market Better Kit:https://onlinedrea.com/kitLISTEN TO THE MINDFUL MARKETING PODCASTTune in as we rethink traditional marketing playbooks, scroll less, connect more, and build businesses that support our actual lives.→ Listen and learn more:https://onlinedrea.com/podcastEXPLORE ONLINEDREA→ Join the Mindful Marketing Lab:https://onlinedrea.com/lab→ Explore all offers and resources:https://onlinedrea.com/everythingCONNECT WITH ANDRÉAWebsite: https://onlinedrea.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/onlinedreaLinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/onlinedreaTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@onlinedreaThreads: https://threads.net/@onlinedreaABOUT ANDRÉA JONESAndréa Jones is a mindful marketing strategist, educator, and host of the Mindful Marketing Podcast.

I talk about what makes YouTube different from quick-scroll social media, how I'm thinking about long-form video, and why building a searchable content library feels like a more sustainable move for the way I want to market right now.YouTube has been sitting in the background of my marketing for a while, but lately, I've been rethinking what role it should play in the bigger picture.In this episode, I'm sharing why I'm going all-in on YouTube and what that decision means for my content strategy moving forward. This isn't about chasing another platform or adding more work just because everyone says video matters. It's about looking at how people discover, trust, and learn from businesses online, and choosing a platform that can support that for the long haul.I talk about the difference between content that disappears quickly and content that can keep working after you publish it, why YouTube feels different from social media feeds, and how I'm thinking about sustainability, discoverability, and depth in this next season of marketing.You'll hear:Why YouTube is becoming a bigger part of my marketing strategyHow long-form video supports deeper trust with your audienceWhy searchable content can feel more sustainable than always chasing the feedWhat I'm considering as I shift more energy into videoHow to think about platform decisions through your own capacity and goalsIf you've been wondering whether YouTube belongs in your marketing mix, or if you're tired of creating content that feels gone the second you post it, this episode will help you think through the opportunity with more clarity.This Episode is Sponsored By RiversideIf you're recording a podcast, interviews, or any kind of video content, Riverside is what I use to get high-quality audio and video without the tech headaches.Use my link to try Riverside: https://onlinedrea.com/riversideLinks and ResourcesWatch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/onlinedreaConnect with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onlinedrea/

  Pinterest has changed a lot over the years, and if you still think of it as the place where people save wedding inspo and recipes, it may be time for a little refresh.In this episode, I’m joined by Kate Ahl of Simple Pin Media to talk about what’s actually working on Pinterest in 2026. We get into why Pinterest is still one of the best platforms for cold traffic, how users are searching and saving content right now, and what business owners need to know before adding Pinterest to their marketing strategy.Kate breaks down why Pinterest is a slower-moving platform, what metrics matter most, and how to think about images, keywords, video, and ads without turning this into a full-time job. Bless.We also talk about the AI situation on Pinterest, including AI-generated images, Pinterest’s AI labels and filters, and how AI is being used more thoughtfully inside ad tools and product visuals. Plus, Kate shares how she’s using AI in her own agency while still protecting the human strategy, creative judgment, and experience that make her work valuable.In this episode, we talk about:Why Pinterest is a strong cold traffic platform in 2026How Pinterest users behave differently from Instagram and TikTok usersThe two Pinterest metrics Kate recommends watching closelyWhat makes a strong Pinterest image todayHow often business owners should actually be pinningWhere keywords matter on PinterestThe current role of video on PinterestHow Pinterest is handling AI-generated contentWhat to know about Pinterest ads and Performance PlusHow Kate is marketing her own business through Google, YouTube, Pinterest, email, and podcastingWhat marketers can learn from choosing the platforms that match their energyKate’s quick action step is a good one: open the Pinterest app on your phone and use it like an actual person.

  What the No Pressure Post Party Taught Me 12.05.2026 29p

  I went into April wanting one thing in particular: more engagement. Not more pressure. Not more posting just to say I posted. I wanted to get out of autopilot, pay closer attention to what was actually connecting, and see what I could learn by creating inside a smaller, more intentional container.I’m breaking down what worked, what flopped, what surprised me, and what the data confirmed. I’m also talking about the energetic side of the experiment, because the truth is, content does not happen in a vacuum. Life, capacity, creativity, travel, stress, and real human energy all affect how we show up online.In this episode, I talk about:what I was actually trying to measure in this experimentwhy short-form video stayed my preferencewhat happened when I dropped the day numbers from the challengethe kinds of content that performed bestwhy “just post more” is not a strategyhow energy and real life affected the experimentwhat I’m keeping, what I’m dropping, and what I’m still testingAnd if this hits a little close to home, come join us inside the Mindful Marketing Lab for my class Imperfect Motion: How to Experiment Without Spiraling.

  Why Old Marketing Strategies Aren't Working 18.11.2025 27p

  Marketing feels weird right now.
