On Your Terms® | Legal Tips Meets Marketing Strategies for Online Business

By: Sam Vander Wielen
  • Summary

  • Have an online business as a course creator, coach or service provider? Whether you’re brand new, already thriving, or somewhere in between — it can be hard deciphering whether “so and so’s” business advice is legit or a hackneyed regurgitation of what THEIR business coach taught them. Does it work? Is it legal? ‘On Your Terms®’ podcast is half “how not to break the online biz laws your well-meaning mentor forgot to say existed.” Half “marketing that doesn’t require you taking on Instagram like it’s a second job.” Your host is Sam Vander Wielen, an unfiltered Philly native and former attorney. Sam quit law to start an online business, build her email list to 27,000 subscribers, and make millions in sales 7 years — all while confronting major personal life challenges she’s not too shy to tell you about. If you’re looking for overnight success stories, hustle culture, or magic bullet marketing schticks that promise you [INSERT RIDICULOUS CLAIM HERE], ask Siri to play you a different podcast. But if you’re ready for rooted-in-reality conversations around (not so) passive income, Facebook ads, building the ever-essential email list, and how to get compliant with whatever new law just rolled out for the online biz world (it happens more than you think) — grab your laundry basket, pour yourself something warm, and cozy up. ‘On Your Terms’ is your new Monday and Thursday tradition (that’s when new EPs drop!). 125,000 people have downloaded episodes. Experts like Amy Porterfield came on as a guest. Now it’s your turn to get 1% savvier when it comes to keeping your online business both successful AND legally sound.

  • 223. ☀️ How a Rude DM Inspired Me to Do This [Summer Series]
    Jul 22 2024

    The other day I received a comment on social media about how I did not look great in a video. In the past, I would have been reactive. Instead, I just laughed out loud.

    In today’s episode, I share my practice in becoming more confident and comfortable with myself and my online business.

    It has been a journey, and it is definitely still ongoing, but if this Philly-born, 90s era-raised girl can do it, so can you.

    In this episode, you’ll hear…

    • Why perfectionism is the enemy of content
    • How changing the stories you tell yourself can make you less reactive to negative comments
    • The importance of practicing detachment from your business

  • 222. ☀️If Social Media Sucks… Where Can You Grow Your Online Business? [Summer Series]
    Jul 15 2024

    In the last episode, I talked some smack about social media: It’s bad for your mental health, your content won’t have great longevity or searchability, etc. So this episode I cover what to do instead, or in addition to, social media.

    First, I break down discovery vs. nurturing. Then, I explain why email is a great nurturing platform. And finally I talk about when social media can be an effective marketing tool, if you still really want to use it.

    I hope you’re enjoying these “Online Business Summer School” episodes, including the background sounds from beautiful Long Island!

    In this episode, you’ll hear…

    • The difference between discovery vs. nurture platforms
    • Why email is a great marketing tool
    • Where social media can be helpful
