FL 121 – We help Yolanda refocus and create a new sales funnel for her online business

Author: Shane Sams December 13, 2016 Duration: 35:23
Need ideas on creating and optimizing sales funnels for your online business? Listen in as we help today's guest improve her current membership engagement through optimizing her sales funnel. On this week's episode, we have Flip Your Life community member and Tibetan culture advocate, Yolanda O'Bannon. Yolanda and her husband, Lobsang Wangdu, are currently teachers at the University of California. She is also the Executive and Editorial Assistant for Science magazine and the Web Producer for iBiology.com. She has been to Japan, India, Spain and many other countries, but is especially fascinated with the Tibetan culture. She had advocated for its preservation and promotion for many years by volunteering for several affiliate Tibetan support organizations. In 2009, Yolanda and Lobsang decided to pursue their passion and created the "YoWangdu Tibetan Culture," a website and business whose mission is to enable visitors to truly experience and genuinely appreciate Tibet's remarkable cultural heritage, as well as support Tibetan education. Yolanda is the website's producer, writer and editor. Content creation is her forte, but has had slow development the past few years. She only has a few members and wants to connect with them without being too pushy. We're going to help her gain new insight on how to improve her current membership engagement and also introduce a new angle on how to create a new sales funnel. Join us as we help her take it up a notch. Let's get started.

Having an online business has given us so much freedom. We get to have the energy left in our tank at the end of the day to stop, study with the kids, help them do well in school and just do those extra things like read the Bible to the kids something that we might not have done if we were working full-time.

Hosted by Shane Sams, the Flipped Lifestyle™ Podcast is a conversation about building a business that actually fits around your life, rather than the other way around. It’s born from the real-world experience of Shane and his wife Jocelyn, a family who created a million-dollar income entirely online. They focus on the practical mechanics of selling digital products and running membership sites-essentially, creating valuable information and community that people are willing to pay for. This isn't abstract theory; each episode digs into the systems, mindsets, and sometimes surprising tactics that worked for them as they built a location-independent career. You’ll hear candid discussions on the challenges of shifting from a traditional job to a self-directed online venture, managing family dynamics alongside business growth, and the ongoing work of sustaining success. The aim is to provide actionable insights for anyone feeling stuck in a conventional routine and dreaming of a "flipped" reality where work supports life on their own terms. Tune in for a straightforward, often humorous look at the entrepreneurial journey from a couple who is still actively living it, sharing their lessons so you can chart your own course.
