In today’s episode, I break down funnels in the simplest, most human way possible — no jargon, no pressure, no sleazy strategies.
If you’re an online coach, consultant, educator, or digital expert wanting to bring your work into the online world, this episode is going to feel like a deep exhale. I’m walking you through:
🌴 What a funnel actually is — in normal human wordsNo tech overwhelm. No fancy diagrams. Just: How people find you → how you build trust → how they eventually buy.
🌊 Why opt-ins matterAnd why the goal isn’t to “collect emails”… but to build a relationship inside someone’s inbox.
✉️ What really happens after someone joins your listI explain the nurturing phase, what keeps people subscribed, what loses them, and how to create content that warms your audience toward your paid offers.
🔥 Behavior-based automations (explained simply)You’ll learn things like:
What counts as “engagement”
How to tag people based on clicks
When to segment or send someone into a new sequence
Why “did they open?” tells you way more than you think
Not everyone agrees with this, but inside The Content Beach, we build trust. We don’t pressure. We don’t rush. We don’t throw “BUY NOW” in someone’s face at first contact.
📣 Bonus tip:How to run high-volume campaigns (like Black Friday or launches) without annoying your entire email list — using “exclude me from this promo” logic.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
