Author: Shane Sams October 1, 2015 Duration: 40:02
Today we learn how Jill and Josh went from a cycle of online launches to a predictable business that generates revenue every month - all online. The launch model can be really appealing. Lot's of potential cash and a rush of adrenaline, but followed by a lack of income and consistency after each launch. You will hear how they tested the subscription model with one of their smaller products - saw an immediate drop in their income yet through mistakes and learning they realized that as the memberships began to increase they are able to predict their income for the next month. It only takes a few months to figure out your retention and value of your lifetime customer when using the membership model. If you are delivering value to your membership they'll stick around, if not they'll leave. [Tweet "Memberships create predictable, steady, growing income. Launches do not."] You will learn Why a Launch Model was too complicated for them. Difficult to know your launch model numbers Quick fire products consume a lot of time Find the business model that works for you How to switch from the launch model to the continuity model Income will drastically decrease immediately Membership Sites - a slow process Make more for the lifetime of the customer rather than a one-time buy Customer has more benefits Links and resources mentioned in today's show Screw the nine to five.com BB Press Forum Profit First Book Flip Your Nine to Five Live Enjoy the podcast; we hope it inspires you to explore what's possible for your family!

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.
