JOCELYN: Hey y'all! You're listening to an Expert Q&A with S&J. Today's expert is Matthew Kimberley of matthewkimberley.com. Welcome to the Flipped Lifestyle podcast, where life always comes before work. We're your hosts, Shane and Jocelyn Sams. Join us, each week, as we teach you how to flip your lifestyle upside-down, by selling stuff online. Are you ready for something different? All right, let's get started. SHANE: What's going on guys? Welcome back to our Thursday Expert Q&A. We have Matthew Kimberley back with us again today to answer your questions. Matthew, welcome back to the show. MATTHEW: Thanks for having me, Shane and Jocelyn. JOCELYN: Yeah, we are happy that you're here. Today's question is from a Flip Your Life community member, JJ Mayo and JJ says, "I've posted before that as a side hustle, I'm a speaker for a continuing education company albeit making a small portion of my total sales. I'll be interested to know from Matthew, what steps are needed to get higher paid speaking gigs even if I'm not a celebrity. Is it having the right contacts or some system that needs to be followed? Any resources would be excellent." SHANE: And this is a special planted question just for Matthew Kimberley. Matthew Kimberley is all about booking yourself solid. He's one of the best, live speakers that we have ever seen, so when we knew you were coming back on this show, we went into our premium Flip Your Life membership community and we said, 'Hey guys, we're gonna give you first dibs on our expert question.' This was one of the first ones that popped up, was just how do I get move live speaking gigs when nobody knows about me. What a perfect question for you. So, how do you do that man? How do you get on stage when maybe nobody knows who you are? MATTHEW: Okay, so I'm gonna presume here and correct me if I'm wrong that when I talk about higher paid speaking gigs, we are talking about getting paid to speak; not getting paid because you are selling from the stage, or because you speak and people book you on the back end; am I right? SHANE: Exactly, JJ wants to speak, like he wants to be a paid speaker, he's not gonna pitch, he's gonna deliver valuable content in this space, he just wants to get more of those gigs and get paid more to do them. MATTHEW: Absolutely; well, I know a few things about this, but not least because my business partner Michael Port is the founder of Heroic Public Speaking, and that's the first resource I think you should check out. Go to heroicpublicspeaking.com and have a look at the stuff that we've put together there for you. At the Hero Public Speaking live in Fort Lauderdale last February, we had this question asked of our expert panel, and they were people like Bob Burg and Scott Stratten and Dorie Clark on the panel. And Dorie said, there are various steps to your speaking career, and I can't remember whether there were three or four, but I'm gonna go through them as I remember them; the first step as a speaker is: 1. When you want to speak but nobody wants to hear you speak, and nobody will pay you to speak. So, first step is no one wants you to speak and nobody will pay you to speak. 2. People are happy to have you speak, but they still don't want to pay you. 3. People will happily have you speak and they'll pay you a little bit. 4. Yes, you must speak and yes, we'll pay you whatever you want.

"] Resources Mentioned in this Episode Today's question from Heather Jackson at Potato Sack Diet Project Article on Periscope Live Event Elementary Librarian US History Teachers Flip Your Life Community Let's dive into this week's question! JOCELYN: Hey y'all! You're listening to a Q&A with S&J. Welcome to the Flipped Lifestyle podcast, where life always comes before work. We're your hosts, Shane and Jocelyn Sams. Join us, each week, as we teach you how to flip your lifestyle upside-down, by selling stuff online. Are you ready for something different? All right, let's get started. SHANE: What's going on guys? Welcome back to the Q&A with S&J. Got another great question about email marketing for you this week. We have a theme going on this month; we're talking all about email marketing on all of our podcasts this month. This is how to get a bigger email list and sell to that list better. Today's question comes from Heather Jackson who is a Flip Your Life community member. You can follow her at Facebook.com/potatosackproject. She's got a cool little Facebook page there, she's working on her website, and that will be up soon but you can follow her over on Facebook and check out what she's up to. Heather writes, "How often should you keep in touch with your email list and is sending just your blog post links when they publish, enough? I am just starting out so I don't really have a list but as it grows, I want to make sure I'm contacting them consistently. What should I do?" Jocelyn, what do you think about that? JOCELYN: Alright, well, I have not always been the poster child for great email success. SHANE: But we've gotten a lot better. JOCELYN: We have improved a lot, and the thing that you have to remember Heather, and everyone else out there who maybe struggling with this question is that people give you their email address because they want you to contact them. That doesn't mean that you should contact them ten times a day, but don't feel bad about contacting them about once a week, maybe even twice a week. But don't feel like you have to have a rigorous schedule and don't get bent out of shape if you don't adhere to that schedule that you build up in your mind. I think that's a problem that a lot of people have, and they think that just sending out links to blog posts for instance like you mentioned is not good enough. But in fact, I think that sending out links to blog posts is totally a great list of – or a great use of your email list, and as long as you are sending them good value, and consistently sending them information that they are interested in, then that is perfectly acceptable to send to your list. SHANE: It's kinda like baseball; something like – we send out every Wednesday – our podcast comes on Tuesday and I've had people ask me before, like why don't you send me an email out on Tuesday when your podcast releases? Well, I know that so many thousand people are gonna listen to that podcast because they are subscribed. You know, X-thousand people are gonna come in, download it, regardless of if I email him or not. Those people, I just want to go ahead and let them download everything and then I'll wait till the next day before I schedule our email announcement for our podcast on Tuesdays, until Wednesday. We want that to come in on Wednesday to catch everybody else in our audience that might not be subscribed on iTunes or maybe missed that the podcast had come out, and forgot about it, and I want to remind them. So that's one email that we send out. I usually also send out an email on Sunday night or Monday morning,

JOCELYN: Hey y'all! You're listening to an Expert Q&A with S&J. Today's expert is John Lee Dumas of the Entrepreneur on Fire podcast and Entrepreneuronfire.com Welcome to the Flipped Lifestyle podcast, where life always comes before work. We're your hosts, Shane and Jocelyn Sams. Join us, each week, as we teach you how to flip your lifestyle upside-down, by selling stuff online. Are you ready for something different? All right, let's get started. SHANE: Hey guys, welcome back to our Expert Q&A, great to back with you again on this Thursday. We have an awesome guest today, we wanna welcome back to the show, John Lee Dumas. John, welcome back, man! JOHN: Smoldering, smoking, the flame is still there. SHANE: The fire keeps getting bigger; we talked to you a little while ago and every month, it's just getting bigger dude. You know what I'm saying? This is amazing. I mean, you're gonna have a bonfire out there on the beach pretty soon. All right, let's jump right into our question Jocelyn. JOCELYN: Right, today's question is from Amy Paterson of meditatewithamy.com, and she says, "How do you know when it is time to stop working on a digital product? I've written an e-book but I'm too much of a perfectionist to stop fiddling with it, and just start marketing the thing. I have a feeling that as soon as I make it available for sale, that I will find something horribly wrong with it and be mortified, and no one will ever buy anything from me again. Should I just set a deadline and say no more changes after that? When is enough, enough, and how do you know when it is time to launch?" SHANE: I love this question man, because we – you know, we have like dozens and dozens of people and we see it in our Flip Your Life course, and we see this over and over again. You know, people get to that point where they almost get that digital product created, and then they rewrite it where they start over, or they keep working on it and we are like, 'Oh, what are you doing?' So what is your perspective on this John, what do you think about when to launch a product? When is enough, enough? When do you put yourself out there to the world? JOHN: Okay, I'm like foaming at the mouth for this question; and I'm glad you guys have like the tough love like Sundays or whatever you do – SHANE: The tough love stick, baby, we bring up the tough love stick right here. JOHN: Yeah, this is like a tough love, like super-bowl right here because this is like such a sticking point for me, because so many entrepreneurs fail and fail and fail because of this very question that they just run in circles around. And my first answer to Amy here is, you've waited way too long already. You've already wasted a ton of time, in my opinion, in my experience, which I have had experience wasting a ton of time in a similar situation, multiple times before because until people actually pay with their wallet, they actually vote with their wallets for an idea, you don't even have a clue if your audience is starving enough. They'll tell you all day long; 'I want this, I want X, I want a Y, I want a Z', 'Oh yeah, if you create this, I will definitely buy this.' Believe me, I know you have a great relationship with your audience and believe me, I know that you think you are making the right product for them, but you don't know for certain. And I have had over 950 guests on Entrepreneur on Fire who will verify this fact. You do not know for certain until you actually have somebody ...

Join us, each week, as we teach you how to flip your lifestyle upside-down, by selling stuff online. Are you ready for something different? All right, let's get started. SHANE: What's going on guys? Welcome back to the Q&A with S&J. We got a great question today for you from Melissa Harley. Melissa is a member of our Flip Your Life membership community; we get to work with Melissa quite a bit in our forums over at flipyourlifestyle.com/flipyourlife and Melissa's question today is, "My question is, when do I send my list an ad for my product in the email if they've signed up for my blog post or my newsletter? Should there just be a link to it in every single email? How often or when should I sell people something?" And we get this question quite a bit. I think people are scared they are gonna jump in and make that pitch too early, and all of our questions this month are about email marketing, so this is a great and timely question for what we are talking about. Jocelyn, what do you think about that? How soon or often should people sell in their email list? JOCELYN: All right Melissa, I think that there are actually a couple of answers here because there's selling in an autoresponder, and then there's selling in like a normal broadcast, which I think is what you are asking about. But as far as an autoresponder goes, I don't really like to put a sales link in the first couple of emails. I really want to, kind of, overwhelm people with value and what they are getting from me instead of asking for something from them right away. I don't have a problem with in the email autoresponder, if you maybe put like a PS link and let people know that you have something for sale, in say maybe the third email or the fourth email something like that. Some people even do it in the first couple of emails and if that's what you choose to do, I mean, you could certainly test that out, see if it's working for your audience, but I personally just don't like to do that right away. Now as far as the broadcasts goes, I think that you really could do it a lot of different ways; what do you think? SHANE: Okay, I think with broadcasts, that's where you probably should be selling. Like Jocelyn was saying, the autoresponder, there's going to be a pitch that's for sure, but like she said, the first email is to kinda introduce yourself and deliver that thing you promised them, the second, third, and fourth emails are pretty much just to train them to open your emails. So Jocelyn said earlier that she wants to really overload them with value in those first few emails. If people don't get used to opening your emails, they're never going to click the link inside them anyway so you got to make sure they know that opening your email is like a Christmas gift. So make sure you are giving a lot of stuff away in those first couple of emails. Train them to click links though, they got to go to your website to get those, and then maybe in your autoresponder, you could sell something, maybe a quick offer around the fifth or sixth email, is that too early you think or – JOCELYN: No, I think that's probably reasonable; just depending on your audience and your niche, you just have to test it and see what is working for you. SHANE: But really after that, maybe initial pitch in your autoresponder to make ...

JOCELYN: All right, today's question is from Eric Gayle of the christianjedi.com and Eric says, "I'm two months into my online business. I create Bible studies based on the Star Wars movies." Very interesting. "I use Facebook ads to drive my 'Likes' to 225+ on my Facebook page, and I also sell my book on Kindle Direct Publishing. My question is, should I use Facebook ads to get more 'Likes' on my page, or should I use Facebook ads to direct my products on Kindle, or drive traffic to my blog or website? What is the best way to spend money on Facebook?" SHANE: This is a huge question we get on a lot Rick; people are like, where do I spend my money because you know, people want that vanity number, they want a lot of 'Likes' for social proof, but they also want people going to their websites. So, like what's the best way to spend your money? Should you go after those 'Likes' or just drive that direct traffic? RICK: Yeah, I generally for most people don't recommend that you spend money on 'Likes' and getting more fans. And the reason for that is, most of us have limited budgets when we are, you know, running our Facebook ads. So I'd much rather see somebody – I'm sorry, what was the person's name again that asked the question? SHANE: Eric Gayle. RICK: Eric, okay; so Eric, I'd much rather see you and anybody else who's listening, that can relate to this sort of situation, I'd much rather see you run Facebook ads to try to build your email list so that you can develop a relationship with your target customers and your target audience, so you can sell more of your products and services or book, in this case. SHANE: So like, when would you drive the 'Likes' on the backend of that? RICK: If you have a really big budget, I mean,
