Our Listeners
- Off the Grid listeners are smart, fun, values-centered business owners who create and share impactful things on and offline. They’re writers, artists, designers, wellness practitioners, service providers, shop owners and product makers who know a lot about their craft but need more support to make the business side of things thrive.
- They’re also SICK of social media — especially how much energy, creativity, and precious life force it drains from them. So they’re seeking better, softer, more relatable knowledge about marketing and business strategy that will help them make money without selling their souls to Meta, Google, or other social media overlords.
- According to Spotify, our listeners are 86% female, 8% male & 5% nonbinary. 7% of our listeners are between ages 23-27, 40% are 28-34, 37% are 35-44, 13% are 45 or older, and 2% are 60+. They’re primarily located in the US, UK and Canada.

✨ A note from a happy sponsor—
I had never advertised on a podcast before and was quite nervous about how it would all work, but Amelia's warmth and clear guidance made it all feel really smooth and easy. I've gained valuable feedback, leveled up in confidence, and there are people who didn't know about my thing who are now interested in buying my thing! So much better than shouting into the void (aka Instagram).

✨ A note from a happy sponsor—
My Off the Grid ads performed so well, and I'm not at all surprised because when Amelia speaks, people listen. This community is so valuable. I went from 44 to 141 subscribers! That's a 220% increase!
