How To Grow an Audience, Email List, and Membership!

How To Grow an Audience, Email List, and Membership!

Author: Shane Sams March 14, 2023 Duration: 1:30:07

We help Chris grow his membership and podcast audience!

In today's episode, we discuss:

  • Launching a membership from a freemium model

  • Growing a podcast

  • The "podcast to membership" funnel

  • Prolific email marketing

  • Creating upsells for potential members

Today's guest on The Flipped Lifestyle Podcast is community member Chris Grainger!

Chris runs a membership for Christian men called The Lion Within Us: a community to support one another on the journey to become the leader God intends you to be.

He has over 40 members and is looking for the best way to serve them while also growing his community.

We talk about strategies of how to grow his podcast and email list, along with ways that Chris can delegate some of his current responsibilities.

In the second part of the podcast, we welcome new Flipped Lifestyle coach Eric Wooten! Eric talks about his own experiences running a membership and how the Flipped Lifestyle Community helped him grow it.

There's tons of value in this episode of the podcast because we're also answering a question from the Flipped Lifestyle Community forums!

  • How do I package and promote group coaching?

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.
