176: Make More Money From People You Already Know

Author: The Two Lauras September 30, 2025 Duration: 24:42

If you need a cash injection, or you just want to make a bit more money every month – you don’t need to go straight into growing your audience or constantly be chasing up new leads (though, they are still great things to do!). Believe it or not, you could be sitting on a goldmine of current and past clients and old leads that never went anywhere. No idea how you can approach these people without feeling sleazy? We’re sharing the best ways to make money from people you already know in today’s episode!

In this episode, we’re chatting about:

  • Why if you need more money, your first thought should be existing connections – not growing your audience
  • The best way to approach your current clients to see if they need more support
  • Why old clients, customers and even leads could be a good source of income
  • How to best stop the “can I pick your brain for free?” questions so you can actually make money from your expertise
