| 5. Does Scheduling on Instagram Really Ruin Your Reach? | 18 Dec 2024 | 00:15:05 | |
In this episode of the CEO HAUS podcast, Ellie is debunking the myth that ‘scheduling posts on Instagram always ruins your reach’. In the episode, she shows you how to find out for yourself if this is true for your account using A/B testing. Ellie dives into exactly which metrics to track and a step by step guide as to how to test for yourself and analyse the data properly. Scheduling can be hugely beneficial for being able to save yourself time with your social media and in reality, you’ll never know for sure whether it affects your reach without the evidence, so get the evidence and find out for yourself. Key Takeaways Scheduling doesn’t always affect reach It differs account to account and Instagram have never officially confirmed whether it does or doesn’t A/B testing can give you the evidence to know whether this is true for your account or not You need to select your content type, test period and understand how to test properly in order to ensure your results are accurate It’s not just reach you should be tracking There are 5 different areas you should be tracking when testing if scheduling affects your Instagram account, not just reach. You need to understand what to do with the data once you’ve tested There’s no point having the data without understanding how to analyse and interpret it It’s not enough to do one test and rely on that data over time Algorithms change, and so does audience behaviour - so if you want to do this properly you should be repeating this test every few months to see if anything has shifted.

| 6. The Different Audience Stages To Match Your Funnel + Content To | 25 Dec 2024 | 00:25:52 | |
In this episode of the CEO HAUS podcast, Ellie is talking all about how to create content that attracts an audience of buyers, not just followers. She walks you through the audience stages and what content to create to speak to them at each stage, as well as how to choose the right free resource to attract VIP-level clients. By the end of the episode, you’ll walk away with a 5 step plan for creating content that converts, rather than just engages.
Having a big audience doesn’t necessarily mean having clients You need an audience of people who are ready to buy from you, so focusing on audience building alone without knowing how to convert them won’t lead to clients. The type of free resource you create sets the tone for the kind of guests you’ll attract If you want to attract high level clients, your free resource needs to be targeted specifically to this type of client It’s not just about creating content pillars You not only need content pillars, but also the understanding of how you turn these pillars into engaging content in multiple styles, as well as knowing the offer you’re driving people towards and the core message of this offer When you have your freebie ready, automate the process By using ManyChat you can make sure that your audience have the freebie instantly when they request it so you don’t lose their interest and you save yourself time The key is creating conversion content This is the content that will make your audience see you as the clear choice and be ready to buy.

| 7. How to Review Your Year, Reset Your Mindset, and Set Aligned Goals for the Year Ahead | 01 Jan 2025 | 00:25:06 | |
In this episode of the CEO HAUS podcast, Ellie is reflecting on her year (both the wins and lessons) and showing you how to do the same. She then talks you through how to reset your mindset once you’ve done this review of your year - so that you’re letting go of what no longer serves you, framing your challenges as lessons and creating a vision for who you want to become. Ellie then talks you through clearing off old tasks so you’re starting the year with a clean slate. Finally, she shares your step-by-step method guide to set goals for the year ahead so you know exactly what you’re working towards and your plan to get you there. Key Takeaways Growth isn’t about perfection It’s about showing up, learning and adjusting as you go. Reviewing your year properly is the key to setting yourself up for success It also stops you from focusing on the challenges of the year as you’re taking the time to properly recognise all the wins of the year too There’s no point planning without reviewing If you try to plan for 2025 without reviewing 2024, you won’t be taking action on the lessons learnt and using the data to build a plan that will actually grow your business in 2025 Your mindset needs to shift as you shift into the new year When you approach the new year, you need to let go of what doesn’t serve you, view your challenges as lessons and create a clear vision for who you want to become in the next 12 months Wrapping up loose ends should be part of your planning for the new year If you’ve still got mental clutter and little to do lists from the previous year, you can’t start the next one with a clean slate so making time to do this will have a huge impact Thank you for listening to this episode of the CEO Haus Podcast…

| 9. What I’m Doing Differently to Scale My Business in 2025 vs 2024 | 27 Jan 2025 | 00:25:19 | |
In this episode of the CEO Haus Podcast, Ellie’s diving into what she’s doing differently to scale her business in 2025 vs 2024. Ellie talks about how 2024 was a year of growth but also a year of learning hard truths about what works, what doesn’t, and what truly aligns with her long-term vision. Now, as she plans for 2025, she’s taking those lessons and shifting her strategy to focus on sustainability, simplicity, and scalability. After listening to this episode, you’ll have insight into the shifts she’s making, and maybe you’ll even find inspiration for your own business strategy for the year ahead. Key Takeaways Running multiple live coaching programmes isn’t always the way Although this brings in more revenue, if it doesn’t feel aligned to the experience you want your clients to have or the way you want to work then you have to let it go Adding more offers can mean less freedom By adding more to your offer suite, you can end up constantly launching, creating and managing instead of focusing on scaling anything effectively Flash sales are a short-term tactic They’re great for a burst of income, but you can’t rely on this approach for predictable, recurring revenue Stop speaking to disempowered buyers Instead of trying to meet people where they are, stand in your own power and lead from clarity and confidence Don’t get caught up in the noise Stop comparing your path to others, stay in your own lane Thank you for listening to this episode of the CEO Haus Podcast…

| 18. Becoming An Iconic Leader With Kayleigh Greenacre | 21 Apr 2025 | 00:44:12 | |
In this episode of the CEO Haus Podcast - Ellie sits down with the powerhouse Kayleigh Greenacre to dive deep into what it really takes to stand out in a saturated space. From teaching in schools to teaching future leaders, Kayleigh shares her raw and real journey into business - and what makes her the go-to when it comes to iconic leadership. It’s all about mindset, conviction, showing up boldly, and why your personal brand voice is everything. Key Takeaways: Don’t just post for the sake of it — bring the energy. If you’re not fully backing your message with confidence and belief, your audience won’t either. Embody the version of you they want to buy from. Leverage the skills you already have. Your background, no matter what it is, holds power. Whether it’s teaching, sales, admin or customer service - those transferable skills can and should shape your positioning. Authority has nothing to do with your income. You don’t need to be making six figures to be seen as a leader. You need clarity, conviction, and a bold voice that actually says something worth listening to. Say the same thing, better. Not something new. You don’t need 100 new ideas a month - you need to repeat your message so clearly and confidently that people instantly associate it with you. Confidence builds trust. Your audience buys from people who believe in what they do. Show up consistently with conviction, speak your truth, and remember you don’t need permission to show up.

| 17. The Exact Launch Strategy I Used in My Recent Launch: The Instagram Funnel Sprint | 14 Apr 2025 | 00:17:02 | |
In this episode of the CEO Haus Podcast - Ellie is giving you the full behind the scenes of her most recent launch - The Instagram Funnel Sprint, and breaking down the exact strategies she used to have a successful launch. Ellie breaks down what a strategic, layered launch actually looks like and how it can lead not only to sales… but to even bigger upsells and conversions without the stress, panic or burn out. Key Takeaways: Start with awareness, not sales The launch starts with problem-aware content that gets your audience thinking about their struggles, not your offer. You create demand by making them realise their gaps first, not by pushing the solution. Design your lead magnet with intention Your lead magnet isn’t just a list-building tool - it deepens the problem-awareness and positions your offer as the natural next step, building anticipation without giving away the fix. Promote with purpose, not repetition Focus on content that tackles three key audience pain points (e.g. funnel clarity, lead quality, and inconsistent sales), showing how your offer could solve them - no copy-pasting, just strategic storytelling. Treat your freebie like a conversion event The freebie should be structured to pre-sell your offer, by demonstrating the problem, showcasing the solution, and aligning your offer as the clear next move. Upsells happen when you’ve built trust Your upsells won’t feel salesy if the entire funnel - content, lead magnet, freebie, and offer - was designed to build trust, prove results, and provide value upfront, making the upsell feel like a natural next step, not a pitch.

| 20. Connection > Content: The Facebook Group Strategy with Alice Walter | 09 Jun 2025 | 00:41:14 | |
In this episode of the CEO Haus Podcast – Ellie’s sitting down with social media strategist Alice Walter from Wonderland Socials, to talk about the most slept-on client attraction tool: Facebook groups. If you’ve been putting all your energy into Instagram and your DMs are empty - this episode is the permission slip (and strategy) you didn’t know you needed. Alice breaks down why community-driven spaces convert better, how to actually use groups without being spammy, and what most service providers get totally wrong about showing up online. From profile audits to posting with purpose, this episode is for anyone ready to build trust, attract aligned leads, and turn visibility into sales - without burning out. Key Takeaways: Facebook groups aren’t dead, but your strategy might be. If you’re not seeing results, you’re likely missing the connection piece. It’s not about posting more - it’s about posting with presence. Instagram isn’t your only stage. Diversifying your platforms = expanding your reach. If your dream clients aren’t biting on IG, they might already be waiting in a Facebook group. People buy from people, not profiles. Showing up with value, sharing wins, and starting real conversations builds trust faster than any cold DM. Your profile is your shopfront. If your bio doesn’t clearly communicate who you help and how, you’re leaving money on the table - especially inside groups. Automation is helpful. Connection is non-negotiable. Systems are great - but they should never replace real human energy. You need to be efficient and intentional.

| 19. You’re Not Making Sales From Your Content Because You’re Skipping the Buyer’s Journey | 20 May 2025 | 00:14:27 | |
In this episode of the CEO Haus Podcast - Ellie’s diving into the real reason your content isn’t converting - even when it looks like you’re doing everything “right.” From lightbulb moments to buyer psychology, she breaks down the 5 stages of the buyer’s journey and how to speak to each one inside your content. It’s all about building trust, guiding your audience, and shifting from “just getting engagement” to creating content that actually sells. If you’ve been stuck in content limbo - this is your roadmap out. Key Takeaways: "Helpful" content isn’t always converting content. You might be getting likes, saves, clicks, and “this is so useful” replies… but if you’re not moving people through the buyer’s journey, they’ll never move into buyer-mode. Most creators are speaking to the wrong stage (or just one). If they don’t even know they have a problem yet? Your offer won’t land. And if they do know, but haven’t seen your solution as the answer? They’ll keep scrolling. The buyer’s journey has 5 stages - and your content needs to touch them all. From unaware to ready to buy, each stage needs a different kind of message. Miss one, and you risk losing them before they even see your offer. Sales content doesn’t mean “just pitch more.” It means creating posts that build toward the sale - by waking people up, naming their exact struggles, showing your method, and building trust before the CTA drops. It’s not about posting more - it’s about posting with purpose. You don’t need more content. You need more intentional content that meets your audience where they are - and moves them forward.

| 21. What To Do When Clients Don't Pay With Alexa Wilkinson | 23 Jun 2025 | 00:48:20 | |
In this episode of the CEO Haus Podcast – Ellie sits down with business coach Alexa Wilkinson for a no-filter chat on what really goes on behind the scenes of running a six-figure business. From chasing payments to setting boundaries, they break down the truths most people won’t talk about online. Alexa shares hard-earned lessons on why scaling doesn’t always mean success, the importance of air-tight contracts, and how to protect your energy (and income) when clients ghost. Key Takeaways: Six-figure months don’t mean freedom - unless your systems are solid. More money often brings more problems. If your systems are a mess and your boundaries are non-existent, scaling will drain you instead of freeing you. Profit is the goal - not performative revenue. Six figures on paper mean nothing if your expenses are eating it all. Focus on what actually hits your bank account, not just what looks good online. If it’s not in a contract, it doesn’t count. Terms and conditions aren’t just a checkbox - they’re your safety net. Whether it's a course, client, or coaching offer, clarity and protection are non-negotiable. Chasing payment isn’t awkward - it’s essential. You’re not “being difficult” for asking to be paid. Services stop when invoices do. It’s not personal, it’s business. Being a CEO means making hard (but necessary) decisions. Chasing invoices, enforcing contracts, going to small claims - it’s not dramatic, it’s just business. You’re not “too much.” You’re doing what leaders do. Connect with Alice on Instagram here. Thank you for listening to this episode of the CEO Haus Podcast…
