| 155. Why I'm closing my mastermind, a new podcast name and a new e-commerce business venture | 10 Sep 2026 | 00:11:54 | |
A very big personal + business update There’s been A LOT happening behind the scenes lately, so this episode is a bit of a personal catch-up on where I’ve been, what’s changing and what I’m doing next. After nine years, I’m closing my mastermind. I’ve been guest lecturing at a private fashion college here in Sydney. I applied for seven full-time jobs 😅 I’m launching eCommerce Scale Collective. Oh, and I’m also in the process of buying an e-commerce business. 👀 If that sounds like a lot... it has been. The truth is, this year has had some pretty rough patches. I’ve questioned my business, the way I coach, what I want my work to look like and, at times, whether I even wanted to keep doing it. But somewhere in amongst all of that, a few unexpected opportunities started appearing. And I finally feel really excited about what I’m building again. In this episode, I’m sharing what’s been going on behind the scenes, why I decided to close my mastermind after nine years, how guest lecturing ended up becoming something I absolutely loved, and why I’m getting back into running an e-commerce business after selling my fashion brand in 2023. I also talk about why I’m changing the way I coach established e-commerce founders, what I’m building with eCommerce Scale Collective, and why the podcast has a brand new name. Plus, I share why I’m VERY excited to get back into e-commerce in an AI world and start testing what’s possible with a much leaner way of running a business. This isn’t one of my usual how-to episodes. It’s more of a “here’s what the heck has been going on” chat. And if you’ve been questioning what’s next for you or your business lately, hopefully hearing what the last few months have looked like for me reminds you that sometimes you don’t need to have the whole next chapter figured out yet. Sometimes you just need to give yourself enough room to see what turns up. 🌸 LINKS + RESOURCES🌸 Learn more about eCommerce Scale Collective 🎧 Listen to the eCommerce Scale Collective podcast | |||
| 154. How to find the real growth opportunities in your e-commerce business | 06 Aug 2026 | 00:17:30 | |
How to find the real growth opportunities in your e-commerce business When sales slow down or feel unpredictable, it is easy to assume you need better ads, a new website, more products or an entirely new strategy. But before changing everything, you need to understand what your numbers are actually telling you. In this episode, I’m walking you through how I review an e-commerce business and identify the priorities most likely to improve sales, profitability and growth over the next 90 days. In this episode, I cover:
If you have been trying different strategies without seeing enough movement, this episode will help you take a more focused look at what is happening inside your business.

| 153. Why delaying getting started with Meta Ads is costing you | 06 Jul 2026 | 00:20:54 | |
If you’ve been telling yourself you’ll start running Facebook and Instagram ads once your website is perfect, your product range is bigger, your content is stronger or your budget feels more comfortable, this episode is for you. Because while waiting can feel safe, it can also quietly cost your business sales, traffic, data and momentum. In this episode, I’m unpacking why delaying your Meta Ads journey can keep your e-commerce brand stuck for longer than necessary, and why starting small, learning the numbers and building confidence now can put you in a much stronger position later. This isn’t about throwing money at ads before you’re ready. It’s about understanding that Meta Ads are a skill, a traffic source and a growth lever. And the sooner you begin learning how they work in your business, the sooner you can make smarter decisions about what to test, improve and scale. What we cover in this episode:
The biggest takeaway? You don’t need to wait until you have a huge budget or the perfect campaign. You need a clear strategy, a willingness to test and the confidence to understand what your numbers are telling you. If you’re ready to stop putting it off and finally learn how to run Meta Ads with support, eComm Ads Academy is now open for enrolment. When you enrol, you’ll get instant access to the curriculum so you can start learning and implementing straight away. The live coaching round begins on 27 July, with weekly group calls, live ad account reviews and small-group support to help you build, manage and improve your ads with confidence.

| 152. Outsourcing your Meta ads too soon might be costing you more than you think | 29 Jun 2026 | 00:13:04 | |
Handing your Meta Ads over to an agency, freelancer or VA can sound like the dream. Someone else takes care of the strategy, writes the copy, builds the campaigns, manages the spend and magically sends you sales. Except, for many e-commerce founders, that’s not how it plays out. In this episode, I’m unpacking why outsourcing your ads too early can cost you far more than the monthly management fee, especially if you don’t yet understand your own ad strategy, numbers or customer messaging. This isn’t about saying you should never outsource. It’s about knowing when outsourcing makes sense, and why learning to manage or at least understand your ads first can put you in a much stronger position as the CEO of your brand. What we cover in this episode:
The biggest shift? You don’t need to become a full-time ads manager. But if Meta Ads are driving a large percentage of your monthly sales, you do need to understand how they work, how to read the numbers, and how to make confident decisions about what to test, scale, pause or change. If you’re ready to take back control of your ads and stop relying on someone else to tell you what’s working, eComm Ads Academy is now open for early enrolment. When you enrol early, you’ll get instant access to the curriculum, plus the live coaching round begins on 27 July. Inside, you’ll learn how to build, manage, read and improve your own Meta Ads with expert support, weekly coaching calls, live ad account reviews and a small-group community.

| 151. Are Meta (Facebook) ads dead in 2026? | 24 Jun 2026 | 00:19:14 | |
There’s a lot of noise right now about Facebook ads being broken, too expensive or no longer worth running. But is that actually true? In this episode, I’m unpacking what’s really happening with Meta Ads right now, including the recent Andromeda conversation, why your results may look different inside Ads Manager, and why ads still play such a powerful role in driving traffic and sales for e-commerce brands. If you’ve been wondering whether Facebook and Instagram ads are still worth the investment, this episode will help you look at the bigger picture and understand where your focus needs to be now. What we cover in this episode:
The bottom line? Facebook ads are not dead. But the way we run them has changed. Instead of spending hours building complicated interest-based audiences, the real work now happens at the ad level, with stronger creative, sharper copy, better messaging and a clearer understanding of your customer. If you’re ready to stop guessing and finally feel confident managing your own Meta Ads, eComm Ads Academy is now open for early enrolment. When you enrol before 30 June, you’ll get instant access to the curriculum, plus a bonus 60 minute 1:1 coaching call with me, valued at AUD $990.

| 150. The Meta Ads 'Funnel Feeder' strategy and when to use it | 15 Jun 2026 | 00:18:33 | |
Meta Ads are more competitive than ever, and for many e-commerce brands, top-of-funnel purchase campaigns are not converting as easily or as quickly as they once did. This is especially true if you sell higher-ticket products, considered purchases, or non-essential items, where customers may need more time before they are ready to buy. In this episode, I’m breaking down a Meta Ads strategy I’ve been testing inside my mastermind called a funnel feeder campaign. It’s a low-cost, top-of-funnel campaign designed to introduce new people to your brand, build engagement and create a warmer audience before asking for the sale. This is not a replacement for your purchase campaigns. It sits above them, helping feed your funnel with new prospects, stronger engagement signals and more social proof. In this episode, I cover:
If your ads are feeling a little flat, this is a practical strategy worth testing. It gives Meta more signals, helps grow your warm audiences and can support the purchase campaigns already running in your account. Ready to feel more confident with your Meta Ads?If this episode has you thinking about your own ad account and what you could be testing next, eComm Ads Academy is now open for early enrolment. It’s my 8-week small-group coaching program for e-commerce founders who want to understand their Meta Ads properly, make smarter decisions and stop relying on guesswork. You’ll get instant access to the full learning hub when you join, plus live coaching, ad account reviews and support once the live round begins. Early enrolment is now open, and the first 10 people who enrol before 30 June also receive a bonus 1:1 call with me. Learn more and join here: | |||
| 149. What e-commerce brands need to know about SEO right now - with Flick from Hotel SEO | 01 Jun 2026 | 00:45:21 | |
SEO can feel overwhelming at the best of times. Add AI into the mix, and a lot of online store owners are wondering if SEO even matters anymore. In this week’s episode, I’m joined by Flick from Hotel SEO to break it all down in a way that actually makes sense for product-based business owners. We talk about what SEO really is, how it’s changing with AI search, and the simple things online store owners can do to improve their visibility, attract more organic traffic, and make their product pages more helpful for both humans and search engines. This is a really practical conversation, especially if SEO has always felt confusing, technical, or like something you keep putting in the “I’ll deal with it later” basket. What we cover:
As mentioned in the episode, Flick shared a simple example of FAQs you could add to a Shopify product page. Example product: pink fluffy dog jumper 1. What size pink fluffy dog jumper should I get for my dog? Measure your dog's chest at the widest point and along the back from the base of the neck to the base of the tail. A jumper should sit snug around the chest without restricting movement, and end just before the tail. If your dog is between sizes, go up rather than down. Fluffy knits have less stretch than cotton, so a tight fit will pull and pill faster.
2. Are pink fluffy dog jumpers warm enough for winter? Yes, fluffy knit jumpers are designed for cold weather and suit most small to medium breeds through a Melbourne or Sydney winter. They work best on short-haired dogs like greyhounds, whippets, and chihuahuas, who feel the cold more than double-coated breeds. For sub-zero conditions or wet weather, layer a waterproof coat over the top.
3. Can I machine wash a fluffy dog jumper? Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, inside a mesh laundry bag, with a wool-safe detergent. Don't tumble dry. Lay flat to dry to keep the shape and stop the fluff from matting. Washing after every two or three wears is plenty unless your dog has rolled in something.
4. Will the pink dye run or fade? No, the jumpers are colourfast and won't bleed in the wash when you follow cold wash instructions. Fading happens with hot water, direct sun drying, or harsh detergents, so avoid all three. The pink will hold its tone through dozens of washes with normal care.
5. Do fluffy jumpers irritate dogs with sensitive skin? The inner lining is smooth against the skin, so dogs with allergies or sensitive coats generally tolerate them well. If your dog has a known wool allergy, check the fibre composition before buying. Most fluffy jumpers use a polyester or acrylic blend rather than wool, which suits sensitive dogs better. The key takeaway here is that the questions are phrased the way someone would actually type or ask them, rather than using stiff wording like “What are the sizing recommendations?” Each answer also gives a clear direct response upfront, then adds detail. That makes it much easier for shoppers, Google, and AI search tools to understand and use the information. Here are the resources and tools we mentioned: Website: hotelseo.au If you’ve ever wondered whether SEO is still worth focusing on in 2026, this episode is a great place to start.

| 148. A simple Instagram strategy to grow your followers and feed your Meta ads funnel | 25 May 2026 | 00:11:25 | |
Meta ads have been doing some strange things lately, especially when it comes to finding fresh top-of-funnel audiences. In some accounts, purchase campaigns are leaning heavily towards warm audiences, while retargeting is suddenly performing better than it has in a long time. So in this episode, I’m sharing a small but mighty Instagram strategy that can help bring new people into your world, grow your following, and support the rest of your Meta ads ecosystem. This is an updated version of a strategy I first shared back in episode 104, and it’s especially useful right now if your top-of-funnel purchase campaigns have felt a little unpredictable. In this episode, I cover:
If your purchase campaigns are struggling to find fresh people, or your Instagram reach feels painfully low, this episode will give you a simple, low-cost strategy to test alongside your existing Meta ads. 🎧 Listen to the full episode here: Want more support with your e-commerce growth strategy?

| 147. Meet the Founder Marlena Gabriel from Horizon Athletic | 18 May 2026 | 00:28:28 | |
Building a fashion or activewear brand from scratch takes far more than a beautiful product idea. It takes patience, persistence, problem-solving and the willingness to keep showing up long enough to understand what your customers actually want. In this Meet the Founder episode, I’m joined by Marlena, founder of Horizon Athletic, a sustainable swimwear and activewear brand originally founded in Australia and now growing across international markets. Marlena shares how her background in sport, business and finance led her into fashion, why sustainability and responsible production have been central to the brand from the beginning, and what it really looks like to grow a lean, international product-based business. From Australian-made swimwear to Italian-made activewear, European marketplaces, rebrands, product refinement and even losing stock in a fire, this is such a grounded and honest conversation about the realities of building a brand for the long term. In this episode, we cover:
This episode is a beautiful reminder that building a brand is rarely instant. It is built through small decisions, consistent action, customer feedback, product refinement and the resilience to keep going when things do not go to plan. Listen to the full episode now.

| 146. The 4 x e-Commerce growth strategies every online store owner needs to know | 11 May 2026 | 00:15:06 | |
If your business feels busy but not necessarily growing, this episode will give you a reset. Because doing more isn’t the answer. It’s about knowing what to focus on, and when. Inside this episode, I’m breaking down a simple framework I use with my clients to bring clarity and direction to their growth strategy, especially when things start to feel scattered or stagnant. You’ll walk away knowing exactly where to focus your time and energy over the next 30 to 90 days, without trying to do everything at once. What we cover:
If you’ve been feeling pulled in too many directions or unsure what your next move should be, this will help you simplify and refocus. Listen to the full episode here.

| 145. What to do when your business feels harder than it should | 05 May 2026 | 00:12:00 | |
In this episode, I’m sharing something a little more personal. After two weeks away in Bali, I came home questioning everything. Not just how I was running my business, but whether I even wanted to keep doing it at all. And if you’ve ever had one of those moments where everything feels heavy, frustrating, or just harder than it should… this one will likely hit close to home. Because what I realised wasn’t what I expected. It wasn’t that I’d fallen out of love with my business. It wasn’t that I needed to burn everything down and start again. It was something much simpler, and much more fixable. Inside this episode, I walk you through what actually came up for me, what I was getting wrong, and the shift I’m making moving forward. We also talk about the different seasons of business, why these “I want to quit” moments happen more often than you think, and how to respond without making reactive decisions you’ll regret. If your business has been feeling harder than it should lately, this is your reminder to pause before you pivot. There’s usually a smarter solution sitting right in front of you.

| 144. What to Do When Your Meta Ads Aren’t Working, 5 Common Problems and How to Fix Them | 13 Apr 2026 | 00:20:32 | |
If your Meta ads have suddenly stopped performing, your ROAS has dropped, or you’re getting clicks but no sales, this episode is for you. Inside this episode, I’m breaking down some of the most common Meta ads problems I’m seeing right now across e-commerce brands, and what to actually do about them. From ads that start strong and then slow down, to campaigns that are spending but not converting, I’m walking you through the key things to check before you panic, turn everything off, or assume your ads are broken. I also share why low ROAS is not always a Meta problem, what can cause new ads not to spend at all, and why your website might be the real issue if people are clicking but not buying. In this episode, I cover:

| 143. How to Track What’s Actually Working in Your E-Commerce Business (with Triple Whale) | 31 Mar 2026 | 00:29:43 | |
When you start running ads, using email marketing, posting on social media and trying to grow your online store, one of the biggest questions becomes this. What is actually driving my sales? Because when your Shopify, Meta Ads and Google Ads all show different numbers, it becomes very hard to know what is really working and where you should be investing more time and money. In this episode, I’m joined by Adam Saunders from Triple Whale and we talk about attribution, tracking, and how e-commerce founders can actually understand their data and make better decisions as they grow. We talk about why tracking has become more complicated over the last few years, why your numbers don’t match across platforms, and how to start looking at your data in a much smarter way so you can scale with more confidence. If you are running ads, investing in marketing, or trying to scale your online store, this episode will help you better understand what is really happening behind your sales numbers.

| 142. The 3 Growth Levers that Scale an e-Commerce Store | 04 Mar 2026 | 00:20:52 | |
When an online store hits a plateau, the question most founders ask is simple. What should I do next to grow sales? Should you spend more on ads? Should you focus on email marketing? Or is it time to expand your product range? The truth is, the right answer depends entirely on what is already happening inside your business. In this episode, I share three real examples from a recent mastermind coaching call where founders were all trying to solve the same problem, scaling their sales. But the strategy that made the most sense for each business was completely different. By stepping back and analysing where their sales were actually coming from, we were able to identify the most logical lever to pull next. If your store feels like it has hit a ceiling lately, this episode will help you step back, look at the numbers, and identify where the real growth opportunity may be sitting.

| 141. My customer service horror stories, and how you can handle complaints without losing your mind | 16 Feb 2026 | 00:19:47 | |
Content warning: This episode mentions suicide. If you or someone you know has been affected by any of the issues raised in this episode, help is always available. Call Lifeline Australia on 13 11 14. Customer service is part of building a business. It is also one of the fastest ways to test your patience, your boundaries, and your leadership. In this episode, I share several real stories from my own journey, from scaling a 7-figure fashion brand to navigating the early days of my coaching business. Some of them are absurd. Some are terrifying. All of them taught me something important about policies, professionalism, and protecting your energy. Because the complaint itself is rarely the hardest part. It is the emotional weight that comes with it. The back and forth. The temptation to defend yourself. The way one email can hijack your entire day if you let it. Inside this conversation, I walk through how to handle difficult customers without reacting, oversharing, escalating the situation, or damaging your reputation. We cover:
If you run an online store, sell digital products, or work closely with clients, this is a conversation worth having. Strong boundaries are not harsh. Clear policies are not unkind. Protecting your energy is not optional if you want to build something sustainable. Running a business will expose you to all kinds of people. The goal is not to avoid complaints. The goal is to handle them in a way that protects your brand, your confidence, and your long-term vision. If this episode resonated, I would love to hear your own lessons from the trenches.

Meta ads are still one of the most powerful growth levers for e-commerce brands. But the way they work, and the way you need to use them, has shifted again. In this episode, I’m sharing my 2026 Meta ads predictions based on what I’m seeing right now inside real ad accounts, client results, and the wider e-commerce landscape. This isn’t theory or trend-chasing. It’s what’s actually working, what’s losing effectiveness, and where smart founders need to focus next if they want profitable, sustainable growth.

| 139. You are not your business -How to separate your business from your self-worth and stop beating yourself up when things don't go to plan | 14 Jan 2026 | 00:16:17 | |
The first episode of 2026! After a much-needed break, I’m back in your ears to kick off the year with a topic that’s been coming up a lot in my mastermind (and in my own experience too). This week, we’re talking about something many e-commerce founders quietly struggle with: Feeling like your business is you. Your identity, your self-worth, your success – all tangled up in sales, social media engagement, and your Shopify dashboard. In this episode, I unpack:

| 138. End of Year Reflection + Looking Ahead | 24 Dec 2025 | 00:17:20 | |
As the year comes to a close, I wanted to record something a little different for this final episode of Online Store Success. This isn’t a strategy episode. A chance to slow down, reflect on the year that’s been, and look ahead with a bit more clarity and intention before everything ramps up again. If this year stretched you emotionally, mentally, or financially, you’re not alone. It’s been a big year for many e-commerce founders, and in this episode I invite you to gently reflect on what actually worked, what felt heavy, and how you want your business and life to feel in the year ahead. This episode isn’t about setting revenue targets or pushing harder. In this episode, I talk about: • Why this year felt heavier than usual for many small business owners A gentle reflection as you listen: As you listen, I invite you to sit with these questions: • What actually worked for you this year?

| 134. Scaling and Selling an eCommerce Brand- my interview with Jaryd Krause | 13 Oct 2025 | 00:40:52 | |
I recently joined Jaryd Krause on his podcast to chat about what it really takes to scale an eCommerce business and sell it successfully. We unpacked my journey building iland co., a fashion brand I started from scratch while raising a young family, working full time, and living overseas. What started as a side project turned into a seven figure global brand with customers and stockists around the world.

| 129. Capturing content for your product-based brand that convert - with Sandra Chau | 25 Aug 2025 | 00:31:54 | |
So often, I hear from founders who feel frustrated that their products just aren’t selling the way they’d hoped, even though they know the product itself is great. And more often than not, the missing piece isn’t the product at all, it’s the content of the visuals. Because visuals are more than “pretty pictures.” The right content tells a story, shows your product in context, and makes it easy for your customer to imagine themselves using it. That’s what builds trust and gets someone to click “add to cart.” To explore this, I sat down with stylist and creative director Sandra Chau. Sandra began her career as a lawyer, then moved into the wedding industry, and eventually found her true calling in brand styling. Today, she’s based in Sydney and works with e-commerce brands across the world, from luxury bedding to minimalist swimwear, helping them create visuals with intention, clarity and selling power. In this episode, Sandra and I chat about:
Sandra’s approach is about clarity, not complication. You don’t need a huge budget or endless photoshoots. You need visuals with a clear story, created intentionally for your customer, so they do the heavy lifting in your marketing. If you’ve ever felt like your photos “look nice” but don’t seem to move the needle, this episode will show you how to rethink your visuals as strategic content that actually sells. ✨ Want more clarity on scaling your brand sustainably?

| 128. Deconstructing My 7-Figure Fashion Brand: The 3 Shifts That Changed Everything | 12 Aug 2025 | 00:21:52 | |
When I grew my fashion business from $350K a year to $1.3M in just 12 months, it wasn’t because I suddenly worked harder, launched dozens of new products, or threw endless money at ads. It was because I made three very specific shifts that changed everything. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what really worked to create consistent, profitable growth. Not the shiny version, but the practical, sometimes unglamorous moves that turned a business into a reliable 7-figure success. Here’s what we cover:
This isn’t about doing more. It’s about identifying what’s already working, doubling down, and building structure around it so your business can grow without taking over your life. If you’re currently sitting at inconsistent $10K months and dreaming of more, this episode will help you see which levers to pull first so you can scale profitably and sustainably. ✨ Want the step-by-step breakdown?

| 125. 5 things I’d never ask you to do to grow your online store | 01 Jul 2025 | 00:12:57 | |
If you’re an e-commerce founder stuck in the “messy middle”, that space where you’ve moved beyond the start-up hustle, are making sales, but still not seeing the consistency or growth you want, this episode is for you. I’m sharing five things I would NEVER ask you to do to grow your online store. These are the well-intended moves that often sound like the next logical step but can actually hold you back, drain your cash flow or put unnecessary pressure on your business. They’re the kinds of decisions I’ve seen trip up so many founders over the years. Some of them even cost me time, money and freedom in my own journey building, scaling and eventually selling a seven-figure fashion brand. Inside this episode, I walk you through: • Why taking out loans or spending big on things like PR, rebrands or websites before you’re ready can create more stress than momentum • The mistake of throwing more money into ads when your website isn’t converting • Why constantly discounting or pricing too low from the start eats into your margins and positions your brand poorly • The risk of investing heavily in a custom website before you’ve got the data and clarity to guide it • The real cost of leasing a warehouse or office before your business actually needs it, and smarter alternatives that offer more freedom This episode is a must-listen if you’re starting to feel stuck or scattered. It’s about simplifying your next move, protecting your profit, and building a business that works for your life, not the other way around. 🎧 Listen to the full episode here: jodieminto.com/podcast ✨ Ready to grow your store with smart, strategic support?
