FL 155 – We help Jeanette dive deep into ad strategies to drive more sales Aug 08, 2017

Show notes

Today's guest is a rock star in our membership community. Here for another round of high energy, next level action is Flip Your Life Hall of Famer, Jeanette Stein. Jeanette is a wife, mom to 6 wonderful kids and is a former high school math teacher with over 17 years of teaching experience. She began her online journey about 6 years ago when she needed something new to learn, starting with Dreamweaver, then Blogger, then WordPress - mostly by herself. Not wanting to choose between her family and career, she used all her new skills into creating her own website, HighSchoolMathTeachers.com where she sold lesson plans to Algebra and Geometry teachers. In her site's infancy stages, there wasn't really much money coming in and she knew that there must be a way to gain traction. After hearing about Shane & Jocelyn, she decided to join the Flip Your Life community and everything else was history. Moving all of her lesson plans into a membership community almost two years ago had made all the difference and brought her site full circle. She has since quit job and had gotten amazing opportunities that wouldn't have been possible had she decided to quit early on. You know what? The fun doesn't stop with good sales metrics, because there's always room for growth and we're here to help her take that next step, so join us as we help Jeanette focus on marketing strategies to boost sales.

My automated webinars are working." Veronica says, "In January, I posted a rant/rave encouraging everyone to dive into webinars. I recently had a chance to speak to Shane and Jocelyn in a podcast episode, and my action step was related to diving into automated webinars. I jumped in with Easy Webinar on Monday evening. The platform is pretty easy, it took me a day to play around with the system, re-record my webinar and set up a Facebook ad to send people to register for it. The first automated webinar ran last night, and another one ran tonight. I had six attendees and two sales from the training. I had another sale just from the ad. That's three sales on a $187 course. Basically, the software and the ad is now paid for, and the rest will be profit. If you have a webinar that is working, don't delay. Get the automated set-up pronto.

FL 153 – We help Joe strategize how to offer different product tiers to grow his membership community Jul 25, 2017

Show notes

Want to know more about creating product tiers in your membership community? In this episode, we will discuss this strategy with our our Flip Your Life guest member, Joe Muench. Joe is a pharmacist who works in a hospital's intensive care unit, and has been practicing since 2000. His wife Daphne is an elementary reading teacher and supports him in his online business through brainstorming and doing all the editing. They spent the first year building their audience with their podcast, but didn't have a product yet. At the end of the first year, he wrote a book, called "A Pharmacist's Guide to Inpatient Medical Emergencies" to teach hospital pharmacists and residents what to do during a "code blue" in the hospital. On September 2016, Joe pre-sold and then launched the beta version of his critical care pharmacy academy - intended as a recurring membership site. The membership successfully launched by December 2016 and has garnered him over 90 members to date. Joe and Daphne are wanting to flip their lives by growing their online academy, so they can have the flexibility to spend more quality time with their two kids. They also want to foster the entrepreneur mindset as the children, ages 9 & 7, have expressed interest and had created websites of their own. Join us as we help Joe decide how to deliver different product levels in order to get more people onboard. We will share our insight on the advantages of using pricing strategies and get a deeper understanding on customer lifetime value.

Show notes

We are super pumped to introduce you guys to Lynda & Kevin Malleck, our Flip Your Life community members and wonder couplepreneur behind the healthy lifestyle kitchen website - themalleckfamily.com Kevin & Lynda live just outside of Washington, DC in northern Virginia. They have been married for over 17 years and are the parents to a sweet teenage boy named Colin. Lynda's background originally started in education, but she later shifted her interest to business. Kevin, on the other hand, is an awesome Head Chef, who at some point even managed his own restaurant. Lynda realized that they had to reassess their current lifestyle after her sister had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. They decided that it was time to focus on living a healthier lifestyle and make wiser food choices. This was when Kevin brilliantly created delicious dishes that were way healthier than their traditional counterparts, and they soon found themselves losing weight almost effortlessly. They documented this transition and had set up a website to host their blog and sell their cookbooks. They had sold paperback versions of their cookbooks and are now looking into generating a steady income stream by offering their digital products as well. They also want to show Colin the limitless possibilities that online business creates, and encourage him to become an entrepreneur too. Which brings us to the question at hand. What should they focus on to build the business to fit the membership model?

How do you start an engaging online membership community where people come and stay month-after-month? That's what we're going to be analyzing with you and Kristin today. Joining us on today's show is a Private Mastermind participant and fellow educator, Kristin Houser. Kristin is currently working and researching as an Elementary School Instructional Coach. She has been in the education scene for about 13 years now, 7 years as a Classroom Teacher and 6 years as an Instructional Coach. She specializes in helping teachers maximize their potential and enable them to improve their way of teaching. During her transition from classroom teacher to instructional coach, she had been searching for content and possibly a community, where she could get the extra boost that could help her in her own coaching journey. Having found little information online, she decided to create a place to provide a solid resource for other coaches that she had wished to have while she was just starting out. Kristin wants to take her 6 years old blog a step and a leap further. More than just making some stable and recurring income, she wants to create a place where these professionals can get together and have a community. It's going to be a super action-packed day, AND it's also going to be a lot of fun. Don't miss it!

FL 149 – We help Simone ramp her Christian music membership site into an engaging indie artist community Jun 27, 2017

Show notes

Need ideas on how to build your membership into an engaging community? Listen in as we discuss strategies on membership community to help our guest for today. On the Flipped Lifestyle podcast this week, we have the online entrepreneur behind ECHE Music, Simone Henry. Having been born to a family passionate about music, Simone grew up loving every aspect of it and used to sing in their church with her sisters. She was also fascinated with business and the internet, and went on to college and got a degree in Information Systems from business school. The Christian Jukebox was a wondrous blend of her many passions. She had gotten the idea after her sister emailed from Spain asking for help to find a recording of a song for the accompanying musicians to play during her performance. Simone did what any devoted sister would do, she scoured the internet but couldn't find a quality recording. She thought "there ought to be a place on the internet where I can get quality Christian music," and thus, The Christian Jukebox was born! This was simply the beginning. She later relinquished The Christian Jukebox and had launched ECHE Music in 2013. Her latest venture intends to bring together indie Christian artists, helping them learn about the music industry so that they can better spread their positive message to the world as well as sustain their lives and ministries. Simone is determined to turn her current membership layout into an indie artist's nest. Her question now is, how does one create an engaging membership community? Join us as we help her take her Christian music business to the next level, share strategies to encourage member engagement even when being a conversationalist isn't exactly your strong suit.
