Today's guest, Flip Your Life Community Member, Karen. She has a podcast called "We Turned Out Okay" whew she helps parents of young children enjoy parenting more without worrying about a lot of little things. Karen provides practical tips to other parents using her Master's Degree and expertise as a previous pre-school teacher. With only 20 people on her email list she is wondering how to take her hobby to a business. Currently working on writing a book, we go through ways she can use this piece of content to get her target audience back to her website and membership area for parents wanting to know more practical ways of how to parent. [Tweet "All Content Should Be Drawing People to Your Paid Product"] We go over why it is so important to be specific with her lead magnets, and the importance of asking her target audience what they need. Even if your audience doesn't know how to communicate their problems they may give you symptoms of what they are struggling with, in which you can then provide them with a solution. You will learn Can you put lead magnets into a book? Why to create your content. Why your content needs to be strategic. Ways to structure a membership site. Growing Your Email List - don't discount the size. Ask your audience what they need. Membership Sites are an enhancement from your free content. Likes on Social Media will never equal money. What it means to work "backwards" with your online business. A multi-faceted approach to grow your email subscribers.

Can't Miss Moments Each week Jocelyn and I share moments that we might have missed if we had not started our online business. We hope these moments inspire you to see the possibilities and freedom online business could provide for your family. This week's cant's miss moment is building Valentine's Day boxes for Isaac and Annie's school parties. We recently got to do that. We got to sit down, decorate those and actually worked with them in the kitchen table. And that was a really cool experience. We are not just building Valentine boxes, we are building memories with them. And we know we are building a ton more memories now. You can connect with S&J on social media too!   Thanks again for listening to the show! If you liked it, make sure you share it with your friends and family!

Today's podcast we help Karen take her parenting website to the next level. SHANE: Welcome to the Flipped Lifestyle podcast, where life always comes before work. We're your host, 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? Alright. Let's get started. SHANE: What is going on guys? Welcome again to the Flipped Lifestyle podcast. Great to be back with you again this week. A little warning for this episode, we are having a little bit of internet connectivity issue with our guest today So it might be a little spotty and not quite up to the normal quality that you hear out of our podcast. But that's okay. We always say you ain't going to be perfect, so we are going to roll on with it and make sure we can give a lot of help and support to our Flip Your Life community guest today.

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.
