In this episode, Jules White answers a question from The Website Growth Club: “How can I get clients now while I’m working on my SEO? Should I be using Google Ads?” If you’ve ever felt stuck waiting for your SEO to kick in, or you’re tired of hearing you must be on social media to get clients, this episode is for you.

Jules breaks down the real difference between active and passive marketing, busts the myth that social media is essential, and shares practical ways to bring in new clients—without relying on Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok. Drawing on her own recent workshop launch experience, Jules explains how most sales came from conversations, relationships, and email—not social media.
