About the Brand

The go-to resource for entrepreneurs who want fatter wallets and shorter to-do lists — without a single Instagram post.

Kate Kordsmeier is a former journalist, ICF-accredited business coach, and the woman behind Success with Soul — a thriving media brand and coaching company helping 5,900+ entrepreneurs build profitable, low-maintenance online businesses using SEO, email marketing, automation, and AI instead of social media.

Kate quit social media in 2021 and has since built her entire business through ethical marketing, stellar content, and genuine community. Her audience follows her lead. When Kate recommends a tool, her readers buy it — and they stick around.

Success with Soul reaches entrepreneurs across a weekly newsletter, a high-traffic SEO blog, a private Skool community, and live implementation events called Get It Done Weeks — making it one of the few platforms that touches its audience at every stage of the buyer journey.

Estimated Return on Partnership Investment

"Partnering with Kate has been one of the best decisions our company has made. She consistently delivers immense value to our community of prospects and customers through engaging and educational content, and we're honored to work so closely with her as a trusted partner."

✦   Ashwin Bhargava  ·  Genesis Digital (Kartra)

Why These Numbers Hold Up

Kate's audience doesn't passively scroll past ads — they come to her for recommendations. When she uses and endorses a tool, her readers trust that endorsement because she's built her entire business on radical transparency. Everything Kate partners with, she uses herself.

Why Retention Is Exceptional

Customers referred by Kate don't just convert — they stay. Because they come in with a clear understanding of the tool's purpose, their onboarding is smoother, their success rate is higher, and their churn is lower. Many upgrade to higher plans as their businesses grow.

The Difference

What Makes This Partnership Rare

🎯   Zero Social Media. Zero Noise.

Kate's audience found her through search engines and email — not an algorithm. They came looking, they subscribed intentionally, and they've stayed. This isn't a casual following; it's a curated community of serious business builders.

🤝   Genuine Integration, Not Just Ads

Kate doesn't slap your logo in a sidebar. She weaves partnerships into her actual content — showing her audience how she uses your tool in her own business, inside live events, and through real-world demonstrations.

💡   Education-First Audience

This audience is in constant learning mode. They show up to Get It Done Weeks, buy courses, and read 4,000-word blog posts. When your product is introduced as a solution to a real problem, the buying decision is easy.

📈   Long-Tail ROI

SEO placements live forever. Email recommendations get forwarded. Curriculum mentions convert students for years. Unlike social media sponsorships, a partnership with SWS keeps paying off long after the campaign ends.

🔍   Full Transparency & Reporting

Kate shares affiliate dashboards, link data, and anecdotal feedback openly with partners. No opaque metrics — just honest performance data you can actually use to make decisions.

⚡   Implementation = Activation

Get It Done Weeks are unlike any other placement: your audience isn't reading about your tool while commuting — they're setting it up, right then, with Kate's guidance. That's a user who is activated, not just aware.

What the Audience Says

They Listen. They Buy. They Tell Their Friends.

Kate recommended Poppy AI in her newsletter and I signed up the same day. I'd been on the fence for months, but her explanation of how she actually uses it in her own business made it click. Six months later, I'm still using it and have referred three people.

— SWS newsletter subscriber

What I love about Kate is that she only recommends things she actually uses. Her GIDW with Kartra was the reason I finally got my funnel set up. Having her walk through it live, in real time, with us was worth 10 YouTube tutorials.

— The Room member

I've bought every single tool Kate has recommended in two years because she takes the time to explain the why, not just the what. It's not marketing — it's coaching. And I always feel like she's thought through whether it's right for someone like me.

— MBA student

When Kate introduced me to MailMeteor during Get It Done Week, I had my account set up and my first campaign live before the call ended. That's the power of implementation-first content. There's nothing else like it.
