FL 80 – Helping Anthea Turn Her Blog Into A Coaching Community For Parents

Each week we are bringing a Flip Your Life Member onto the podcast, helping them work through whatever challenges they may be having with their online businesses. Today we have Flip Your Life member, Anthea. Anthea wanted to relieve the pressure on her husband of bringing in all of their income while she stays at home, homeschooling their three kids. She began a blog using her Masters Degree in Creative Writing for a website called Overcoming School. Realizing that blogging wasn't bringing in money, she joined our community to figure out how to create a product that people would want to be a part of. Anthea wanted to create a community of parents where they can be trained and learn how to start homeschooling. [Tweet "Find Practical Ways to Start Your Online Business as a Flip Your Life Member "] We walk her through why it isn't beneficial to keep creating free content, but rather use that content to get people to join her membership community using lead magnets and other strategies.
