478. How to Turn Your Freebie Into a Client-Attraction System
26/05/2026 | 16 mins.
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)
19/05/2026 | 14 mins.
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.

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.

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.

474. The 3 Non-Negotiables of a Coaching Business That Actually Gets Clients
28/04/2026 | 20 mins.
You're doing all the things…so why aren't clients happening consistently?
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down what I call the three non-negotiables—the foundational pieces that actually determine whether your coaching business gets clients or stays stuck in what I call the "messy middle."
Because I know how frustrating it is to feel like you're showing up, posting, and doing what you think you're supposed to be doing but nothing is really moving. No traction, no consistent clients, and definitely no momentum.
And the truth is, it's usually not because you need another strategy or some new "shiny" tactic. It almost always comes down to a breakdown in one (or more) of these three core areas.
So in this episode, I walk you through what those non-negotiables are, how to identify which one might be off in your business, and why focusing here is what actually creates progress—not jumping from one strategy to the next.
If you've been stuck in the messy middle and wondering what's actually broken in your business, then this episode is for you.

You're a coach. Now let's get you clients on repeat.
Welcome to The Divorce Revolution, the podcast for coaches who want to sign clients on repeat without ads, constant posting, or cringe sales tactics. Hosted by Amber Shaw, the Queen of Pre-Selling.
The title comes from where my business actually started. After my own divorce, I was lost, broke, and had no idea how I was going to support my kids on my own. I wasn't just grieving my marriage, I was grieving my identity, my security, and the version of me who thought someone else would always have my back. So I did what most women are never taught to do. I rebuilt my life, my confidence, and my income from the ground up by starting an online coaching business. And it changed everything.
What I learned along the way is the thing most coaches in this space don't teach: the work that actually signs clients isn't the pitch. It's everything before the pitch. Your messaging. Your content. Your DMs. Your story. The whole ecosystem that makes the sale feel obvious by the time someone is on a call with you.
That's the pre-sell. And it's the entire reason I exist.
This podcast is for the coach who's tired of posting and getting crickets. The coach who's invested in courses, certifications, and trainings and still can't figure out why none of it is turning into consistent clients. The coach who doesn't want to run ads, do giant launches, or feel slimy in the DMs. The coach who wants a system that actually works without selling her soul.
Each episode digs into the real stuff. Messaging that signs clients. Content that doesn't get ignored. DM conversations that don't feel awkward. Sales calls that don't feel like sales calls. Mindset, money, confidence, identity, visibility, and what it actually takes to build a coaching business that pays you back.
Because the sale isn't where the magic happens. Everything before it is.
If you're ready to stop guessing and start signing clients on repeat, you're in the right place.
Welcome to the Revolution. Let's do this.
