TOP 3% GLOBALLY RANKED MARKETING PODCAST FOR WOMEN 40+ RUNNING SMALL BUSINESSES
Hey you — I’m Jan. Small business strategist, marketing coach, girl mum, and corporate escapee turned entrepreneur in my mid-forties.
This podcast is for women who’ve built a small business, but lately things feel less steady than they used to — and who want to use online marketing to find more clients and grow your revenue without turning yourself into a full-time content creator.
If you’re a service provider, consultant, coach, or subject matter expert who wants stable revenue, clear marketing, and a business that actually supports your life, you’re in the right place.
For years, I tried everything to grow my business online. I danced on Reels, pointed at imaginary bubbles, and exhausted myself chasing tactics that made me feel like I was performing instead of running a real business.
That all changed when I stopped performing for algorithms and started using my expertise as a real business asset — and cracked the marketing code for growing my business online without driving myself crazy.
Over the past six years, I’ve built a multiple six-figure business and became a Top 3% Globally Ranked podcaster that generates predictable income — all without chasing trends or being glued to my desk 24/7.
Now, I teach women 40+ like you how to market your business online using your expertise, get clients more consistently, and build something you’re genuinely proud of — without turning your life into content.
If you’re ready to:
✨ Get clear on what actually matters in your business right now
✨ Build a simple, sustainable way to attract the right clients
✨ Turn your expertise into an asset that works even when you’re offline
✨ Create steadier income without chasing trends or algorithms
✨ Market your business in a way that supports your life — not consumes it
✨ Make confident decisions and grow a business you trust again
And if you’re tired of strategies that don’t fit the season of life you’re in, overwhelmed by social media, and craving advice that meets you where you are now — not where the internet thinks you should be — you’re exactly where you need to be.
Hit play, take what you need, and then go run your damn business. 🙌

059: Want More Donors? Ditch Your Newsletter
If you’ve ever spent hours pulling together a nonprofit newsletter — only to feel like no one’s reading it — you’re not alone. For years, I felt the exact same way.
Back when I was leading a nonprofit, the newsletter was my least favourite task. Month after month, I’d open up Mailchimp, stare at that empty template, and wonder how I was going to fill it this time. I’d cram in updates, events, and a message from the director, but deep down I knew... our donors weren’t reading it. And if they did, they certainly weren’t taking action.
Here’s what I discovered - the problem wasn’t me, and it wasn’t you either. The problem is newsletters. They’re outdated, one-sided, and they don’t inspire donors to feel connected or to give.
So I started experimenting. Instead of newsletters, I sent shorter, story-driven emails. I made the donor the hero of the story, not the organization. And I began to invite simple, clear actions in every message. Little by little, everything changed — replies came in, relationships deepened, and donations became more consistent.
That’s exactly what I want to share with you in this episode. You’ll walk away knowing how to...
- Retire the newsletter once and for all and stop wasting time on emails no one reads.
- Shift to story-driven emails that make your donor the centre of the story.
- Invite clear, simple action that strengthens relationships and increases donations.
Because when you nurture instead of “news,” everything changes.
And if you’re ready to go deeper, I’d love to see you inside Donor Magnet - my free 5-day bootcamp for nonprofit leaders. It’s free, it starts October 14, and you can grab your seat at janditchfield.co/bootcamp.
