Author: Shane Sams November 6, 2018 Duration: 15:31

Hey Y'all, welcome to another Flipped Lifestyle Podcast Q&A w/ S&J!

In the Flip Your Life Community, we hold a members-only Q&A twice a month where we answer online business questions of our members live on air!

This podcast episode features some of the highlights of these recent live member Q&As to give you a glimpse of how we help the members of our community, and help you as well in online business by listening in.


Today's Q&A highlights answer the following questions: 

Question One:

"I am getting ready to launch my membership in the next 2 weeks. My list is about 2000 people and my open rate is typically around 20%. I know this must vary based on how niche you are, but how many people typically covert into customers from an email list?"


Question Two:

"How do you plan for attrition in your membership site when creating your business plan?"


Question Three:

"Hey y'all :) what's your opinion on giveaways to build an email list? I feel like it could be a good way to build quickly as long as what I'm giving away is true to my niche. Thanks!"


Question Four:

"I've been doing weekly blog posts plus youtube videos for a month, there's not much change in my website views and no opt-ins. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to be more patient?"


SUCCESS STORY:

"SUCCESS! I received an email from someone this morning with questions about my class, I answered the email and 30 minutes later she bought the class!" - Dan

"SUCCESS! I put on some of my social media platforms that Becca & I are going to be offering some courses for photographers this Fall. I got 25 emails within 24 hours!" - Matt

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.
