  • Ep. 114: Your Email List Is Your Most Powerful Visibility Tool for Organic Marketing
    Mar 18 2026
    Are you pouring energy into social media, podcast guesting, and SEO — only to watch those visitors disappear with no way to reach them again? In this episode of Her Faith at Work, Jan Touchberry reveals why your email list is the single most powerful organic marketing tool a Christian woman entrepreneur can build — and why every other visibility strategy you use becomes exponentially more effective when it feeds into a well-tended list.Jan breaks down the "bucket with a hole in it" problem that plagues even the most visible online businesses, walks through what a healthy email list actually does for your bottom line, brings a faith-based perspective on email stewardship, and gives you a practical 5-step framework — including a complete welcome sequence breakdown — to start building and tending your list today.What We Cover in This EpisodeWhy social media is "borrowed ground" — and what that means for your business stabilityThe mindset shift: your email list is the engine of visibility, not the reward for it4 things a healthy email list does for your business (including the one that directly impacts revenue)Why building an email list is an act of faith-based stewardshipThe 5 practical components you need to start growing your listA complete breakdown of the 5-email welcome sequence that warms up new subscribersWhat to do right now — whether you have no list, a dormant list, or a thriving oneKey Takeaways1. Social Media Is Borrowed GroundYou do not own your Instagram following, your Facebook page, or your TikTok audience. Algorithms shift, accounts get shut down, platforms disappear. Your email list is the one audience asset you actually own — and you can take it with you anywhere.2. Your List Is the Engine, Not the RewardWaiting until you have a "big enough" following to focus on your email list is a costly mistake. Every piece of visibility content you create — podcast appearances, SEO blog posts, collaborations — becomes dramatically more effective when it flows to a list that captures and retains interested people.3. Email Converts Better Than Social MediaPeople on your email list have already taken a step toward you. They are not passive scrollers — they are engaged. The data consistently shows that email subscribers convert to buyers at a significantly higher rate than social media followers.4. Your List Is a Stewardship ResponsibilityWhen someone hands you their email address, they are trusting you with something personal. Stewarding that access well — showing up with intention, delivering real value, not abusing the relationship — reflects the kind of business you are called to build.5. Consistency Is CompoundingEvery email you send is a deposit into the relationship. Going silent for months and then appearing in someone's inbox to sell something is a trust-breaker. You don't have to email daily — but you do have to show up regularly enough that people remember who you are.The 5-Email Welcome Sequence BreakdownJan walks through her recommended welcome sequence for new subscribers:Email 1 — Deliver & Introduce (Send immediately)Deliver the freebie, introduce yourself in 2-3 sentences, and tell subscribers what to expect from you going forward. Keep it short and warm.Email 2 — Your Story (Send 1-2 days later)Why do you do what you do? What brought you here? People buy from people they relate to — this is where that connection starts.Email 3 — Address the Core Problem (Send 2-3 days later)Speak directly to the struggle that brought them to your list. Show them you understand. This is not a sales email — it's an "I see you" email.Email 4 — Teach Something Useful (Send 2-3 days later)Give a quick win. A tip, a framework, a simple shift they can apply immediately. Proving your value before you ask for anything builds trust fast.Email 5 — Make an Offer (Send 2-3 days later)Now you've earned the right to invite them into something. Keep it natural and low-pressure: "If you want to go deeper, here's how I can help."5 Things You Need to Start Building Your List1. A compelling opt-in offerSolve one specific problem for one specific person. A checklist, guide, private podcast playlist, or short video training — something that gives her a quick win.2. A dedicated landing pageA clean page that answers three questions: What is it? Who is it for? What do they get?3. An email platformFlodesk, ConvertKit, MailChimp, ActiveCampaign — the best one is the one you will actually use. Set up automated delivery so your freebie reaches subscribers immediately.4. A welcome sequenceThree to five emails that introduce you, build trust, and set up a natural first offer. Don't leave new subscribers in silence.5. ConsistencyShow up regularly. Not necessarily daily or even weekly — but often enough that your subscribers remember who you are when your email lands.Resources & Links MentionedJoin Jan's email list: jantouchberry.com/newsletterFlodesk (email platform Jan uses) — https:/...

  • 113: How To Grow Your Business with SEO (Without Social Media) — Faith Hanan on Her Faith at Work
    Mar 11 2026
    How to Grow Your Business With SEO (Without Social Media) — Faith Hanan on Her Faith at WorkEpisode OverviewAre you tired of posting on Instagram and TikTok every day — only to watch your content die in 24 hours? In this episode of Her Faith at Work, host Jan Touchberry sits down with Faith Hanan, accidental SEO expert, copywriter, barrel racer, and mom of three, to talk about one of the most powerful (and misunderstood) tools for growing a Christian woman's business online: search engine optimization.Faith has not posted on social media for her business in over three years — and her business is still growing. In this conversation, she breaks down why SEO is the "crockpot of marketing," how to find the right keywords for your business, and what tools you can use today even if your budget is $0.About Faith HananFaith Hanan is an accidental SEO expert, copywriter, podcaster, homeschool mom, worship leader, and competitive barrel racer. She runs a copywriting and SEO agency and teaches faith-filled entrepreneurs how to scale their online businesses using SEO, keywords, and blogging — all in less than 20 hours a week.She is the host of the Simple SEO & Marketing podcast and creator of the Simple SEO Framework (SSF) group coaching program.What You’ll Learn in This EpisodeWhat SEO actually is — and why it shortens your sales cycle by putting you in front of "hot leads" instead of cold audiencesWhy social media content has a half-life of less than 24 hours (and what to do instead)How Faith hasn’t posted on social media for her business in 3+ years — and still growsThe #1 mistake entrepreneurs make with keywords (hint: you’re speaking a different language than your customers)Why targeting 120 highly specific monthly searches beats chasing 10,000 broad onesThe free tools you can start using today: Ubersuggest and Google Search ConsoleHow to know if your SEO is actually workingFaith’s simple framework: get your core pages optimized first, then add SEO-rich blog contentHow to write an SEO-optimized blog post in 90 minutes and maintain your traffic machine in 2 hours a weekKey TakeawaysWhat is SEO and why does it matter for small business owners?SEO (Search Engine Optimization) helps search engines like Google understand what your business does and surface your website to the right people at the right time. Unlike social media, which dies within 24 hours, SEO-optimized content can drive traffic for years. Faith describes it as "the crockpot of marketing" — you do the work upfront and results compound over time.How do I find the right keywords for my business?Faith recommends a two-step process:Start on paper — brainstorm words and phrases your ideal client would type into Google when searching for the problem you solve.Then validate with a tool — Ubersuggest (free version) connects directly to Google's API and gives you real search data, not estimates.Key insight: A keyword with only 120 monthly searches from your exact ideal client is far more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 monthly searches dominated by Nike and Under Armour.How long does SEO take to work?Most businesses start seeing results within 1.5 to 3 months, with more significant momentum around 6 months. The speed depends on your website’s current health, how long you’ve had a web presence, and how competitive your keywords are.Can I do SEO without being on social media?Yes. Faith is living proof. She stopped posting on social media for her business over three years ago and relies entirely on SEO and long-form content (blogs, podcasts). Because SEO-optimized content continues to be indexed and discovered for years, it works for you 24/7 — even while you sleep.Episode Timestamps00:00 Introduction — Meet Faith Hanan02:25 Faith’s background: SEO agency, homeschooling, and barrel racing03:55 Jan’s personal SEO journey — 6 months in, seeing momentum04:32 SEO is the “crockpot of marketing” — why people quit too soon05:00 What SEO actually does (and why it shortcuts the sales process)06:33 The social media rat race and why SEO is a better long-term strategy07:13 Faith hasn’t posted on social media for 3+ years — and it started as a church fast08:10 The half-life of social media vs. the longevity of blog content09:17 How to get started with SEO without getting overwhelmed09:45 The keyword language gap: how you talk vs. how clients search10:57 Why small, specific keywords beat high-volume broad terms13:40 Free and affordable keyword tools — Ubersuggest deep dive15:00 Start keyword research on paper first, then use tools16:36 How to know if SEO is working — Google Analytics & Search Console17:00 Optimize your core website pages before your blog19:16 Broken links, analytics, and getting coaching (barrel racing analogy)22:05 About the Simple SEO Framework (SSF) group coaching program24:42 Special discount code for Her Faith at Work listeners: JAN26:11 Where to find Faith — FaithHanan.com/framework26:25 The ...

  • 112: Monday Devo | The Fruits of The Spirit - Galatians 5:22-23
    Mar 9 2026
    We all know the Fruit of the Spirit sounds great on Sunday. But by Monday? That fruit can feel really far away. In this episode, we get real about what it actually looks like to walk in love, patience, peace, and self-control when life gets hard -- a difficult client, a team member who dropped the ball, or a season that's just heavy. This one's practical, honest, and for every woman trying to run her business and her life with faith in the middle of it.Scriptures Referenced"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control."— Galatians 5:22-23 (NIV)"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." — Proverbs 15:1 (NIV)"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."— Galatians 6:9 (NIV)"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." — Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV)"I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."— John 15:5 (NIV)Key TakeawaysThe Fruit of the Spirit grows -- you can't force it. Your job is to stay connected to the source and let it flow from there.Love and kindness in business doesn't mean being a pushover. You can hold your boundary AND lead with a gentle tone.Before you reply to that frustrating email or message, pause. Even five minutes changes everything.Your standards don't drop just because someone else's did. Faithfulness is showing up with integrity even when others don't.Joy is not the same as happiness. You can be in a hard season and still have deep-down peace that God's got you.You don't try harder -- you abide deeper. Stay connected to Jesus, and the fruit takes care of itself.Reflection QuestionsTake a few minutes with these this week -- in your journal, on a walk, or just sitting quietly with your coffee.Where is it hardest right now for you to walk in patience or self-control -- at work, at home, or somewhere else?Is there a situation you've been reacting to instead of responding to? What would it look like to pause first?What does your time with God look like right now? Is the root strong enough to produce the fruit you need?Who in your life or business needs you to lead with gentleness this week, even when it's hard?One Thing to Try This WeekPick one relationship or situation that's been draining you -- a client, a team member, a hard season -- and before you engage with it this week, spend two minutes in prayer first. Just two minutes. Hand it to God before you handle it yourself. See what changes.CONNECT WITH JAN:Here are all the best places and FREE stuff 👇🏻Grab your ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠S: JanTouchberry.com/opt-inSubscribe to the newsletter: http://jantouchberry.com/newsletterFIND ME HERE:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - JanToucberry.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - @jantouchberryJOIN THE CONVO:We’d love to hear your thoughts on the episode and its impact on your journey.

  • 111: Build Better Before You Build Bigger | Faith-Based Business Foundations for Christian Women Entrepreneurs
    Mar 4 2026

    Are you chasing growth while your foundation is still shaky? If you’re a Christian woman entrepreneur who has ever felt the pressure to scale faster, launch more, and do it all — this episode is for you.

    Today we’re going back to one of Jesus’ most powerful parables: the story of the wise and foolish builders in Matthew 7:24–27 and Luke 6:46–49. And we’re applying it directly to your business.

    Here’s the truth: you can have the most anointed offer in your industry, but if your foundation isn’t solid, growth will eventually crack it. The good news? God’s Word had a blueprint for this long before any business coach did.

    In this episode, we cover:

    1. Why Jesus must be the foundation of your business — not just your personal life
    2. What it means to “dig down deep” before you build, and why so many entrepreneurs skip this critical step
    3. The two foundations every Christian woman entrepreneur needs: a faith foundation AND an operational foundation
    4. How your values, prayer life, client systems, and finances are all connected to your long-term business sustainability
    5. Why building better before building bigger is not falling behind — it’s being faithful

    If you’ve been feeling the pull to grow before you’re ready, or if something in your business feels unstable no matter how hard you hustle, this is your sign to slow down and do the foundational work first.


    RESOURCES MENTIONED

    The Workflow Exchange — If today’s episode hit home and you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and finally build the operational foundation your business needs, this is your next step. The Workflow Exchange is a free curated bundle of 10 expert-built, plug-and-play workflows designed to help you run your business with clarity instead of chaos. Inside you’ll find step-by-step systems for client experience, content, finances, email, sales, and more — created by experienced business owners who know what actually works.

    This is literally the practical companion to everything we talked about today.

    👉 Get free access here: TheWorkflowExchange.com

    Note: Free access is available March 1–15 only. After that it goes to the waitlist — so don’t wait!


    SCRIPTURES REFERENCED
    1. Matthew 7:24–27
    2. Luke 6:46–49
    3. 1 Corinthians 3:11
    4. James 1:5
    5. Luke 16:10
    6. Matthew 25:23


    THIS WEEK’S ACTION STEPS
    1. Spend time in prayer specifically about your business foundation — ask God where you might be building on sand.
    2. Identify ONE operational area in your business that needs foundational work and commit to improving it this month.
    3. Grab your free workflows at jantouchberry.com/workflow-exchange and start building the systems that will hold the weight of your growth.

  • 110: Monday Devo - A Prayer for Peace
    Mar 2 2026
    Her Faith at Work – Monday Devo

    Perfect Peace in Heavy Seasons

    If the start of this year has felt heavy, you’re not alone.

    In this week’s Monday Devo, we pause. We breathe. And we anchor ourselves in truth. When life feels unsettled—personally, professionally, globally—it’s easy for that weight to spill into your business, your leadership, and your faith.

    But there is a promise that steadies us.

    “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.” — Isaiah 26:3

    This short but powerful devotional is a reminder that peace isn’t found in control, clarity, or calmer circumstances. It’s found in keeping our minds fixed on the Lord.

    What This Episode Covers
    1. How “heavy” seasons impact your life and business
    2. Why current events and personal struggles can quietly drain your leadership
    3. The promise of perfect peace when your mind is stayed on God
    4. A prayer for focus, steadiness, and divine encounters this week

    A Word for the Weary Entrepreneur

    You may feel like 2026 hasn’t started the way you hoped.

    You may feel distracted. Unsettled. Concerned about the world around you.

    Here’s the truth:

    Nothing that’s happening right now has caught God off guard.

    He is not surprised.

    He is not scrambling.

    He is not unsettled.

    And when we rest in that reality, our nervous system can exhale.

    Peace comes when our eyes stay trained on Him—even when everything around us feels like it’s swirling.

    Prayer From This Episode

    In this devo, we pray:

    1. For hearts that feel heavy
    2. For peace that surpasses understanding
    3. For minds that remain fixed on God
    4. For divine encounters this week
    5. For courage to be the hands and feet of Jesus in everyday business life

    Because as leaders, as business owners, as women walking out our calling—we may be the only glimpse of Jesus someone sees this week.

    Your Invitation This Week

    As you step into meetings, emails, decisions, launches, and conversations:

    1. Fix your mind on Him.
    2. Ask for His peace.
    3. Stay aware of who He places in your path.
    4. Trust that He is leading and guiding your steps.

    Perfect peace isn’t earned.

    It’s promised.

    Have a beautiful, grounded, peace-filled week.

  • 109: How to Choose a Domain Name for Your Business: .com vs .co, Domain Name Tips, SEO Impact & What to Do If Your Name Is Taken
    Feb 25 2026

    Wondering how to choose a domain name for your business? This episode gives you a clear framework so you can decide quickly and move forward.

    Jan walks through what makes a domain strong, whether .com still matters, what to do if your name is taken, and how to protect your brand long term.

    Jan Touchberry is a brand and visibility strategist who helps entrepreneurs build clear foundations, scalable systems, and authority-driven businesses.

    DIRECT ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS:How do you choose a domain name for your business?

    Choose a domain that is simple, easy to spell, easy to say out loud, aligned with your brand, and preferably available in .com. Avoid hyphens and complicated spellings. If your first choice is taken, add a short natural word or consider a clean .co alternative.

    Is .com better than .co?

    .com is still the most recognized and trusted domain extension worldwide

    If it’s available and fits your brand, it’s typically the strongest choice. .co can work well, but some users will default to typing .com out of habit.

    What if the domain name I want is taken?

    Before choosing something confusing:

    1. Add your middle initial
    2. Add a short word like “with” or “hello”
    3. Consider the .co version

    Clarity is more important than creativity

    Does a domain name affect SEO?

    Your domain alone will not make or break your SEO. However, a clear, trustworthy domain improves click-through rates and brand recognition — which supports long-term visibility.

    WHO IS THIS EPISODE FOR?
    1. Female entrepreneurs launching a business
    2. Service-based founders building authority
    3. Coaches, consultants, and speakers
    4. Business owners rebranding

    WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
    1. Why clear domains outperform clever ones
    2. Why you should secure your personal name as a domain
    3. How short redirect domains improve conversions
    4. How to stop overthinking and make a decision

  • 108: How to Ditch Social Media and Still Grow Your Business
    Feb 18 2026

    In this episode, Jan Touchberry discusses the challenges of using social media for business growth, emphasizing the need for a clear strategy that focuses on visibility and conversion rather than mere presence. She explores alternatives to social media, such as email marketing and search-based platforms, and introduces the 'nine grid strategy' as a balanced approach to maintaining an online presence without overwhelming oneself. The conversation encourages listeners to seek clarity in their marketing efforts and to prioritize effective strategies over the pressure to constantly engage on social media.

    TAKEAWAYS

    You are allowed to question the narrative around social media.

    You do not need social media to grow your business.

    The goal is predictable visibility that leads to consistent income.

    Visibility without a conversion pathway is just performing.

    An email list of engaged people is more valuable than a large social media following.

    Intent over attention is crucial for growth.

    Collaborations can significantly enhance your reach and trust.

    The nine grid strategy offers a sustainable approach to social media.

    Clarity in strategy is essential for effective marketing.

    You are not called to be everywhere; focus on what works.

    SOUND BITES

    "You are allowed to question the narrative."

    "Collaborations are huge."

    "You need clarity, not performance."

  • 107: Monday Devo | When God Calls You Before You’re Ready — The Truth from Gideon’s Story
    Feb 16 2026

    Have you ever wondered if you’re really qualified for what God is asking you to do? In this devotional episode, we walk through the story of Gideon in Judges 6 and uncover a powerful truth: God often calls us before we feel ready, confident, or capable. Even while Gideon was hiding in fear, God called him a valiant warrior—speaking identity over him before there was any visible evidence.

    If you’ve been battling insecurity, questioning your purpose, or feeling like you’re playing small in your calling, this episode will encourage you to shift whose voice you’re listening to and rediscover how God defines you.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode
    1. Why God often calls people who feel unqualified
    2. The real meaning behind Gideon hiding in the winepress
    3. How to hear God’s voice in a noisy world
    4. Why confidence isn’t required for obedience
    5. What it looks like to step into your calling even when you feel weak

    Episode Highlights

    Are you shrinking back?

    A powerful diagnostic question that reveals whether fear or faith is shaping your decisions.

    God meets Gideon in hiding

    Instead of waiting for Gideon to be brave, God shows up in his fear and speaks identity over him.

    Identity before evidence

    God declares who Gideon is before Gideon does anything to earn it.

    Go in the strength you have

    God doesn’t ask Gideon to become strong first—He sends him as he is.

    The real turning point

    Breakthrough didn’t happen when God spoke. It happened when Gideon chose to believe Him.

    Key Takeaway

    Your calling isn’t validated by your confidence. It’s validated by God’s voice.

    Scripture Referenced

    Judges 6:11–14 (CSB)

    Closing Prayer Focus
    1. Courage to trust God’s definition of you
    2. Clarity to hear His voice
    3. Boldness to step out of hiding
    4. Faith to walk in your calling
