We are a real family who makes our entire living online, and we help other people do the same! Flip Your Life with online business! We built a million dollar online business selling digital products and starting membership sites over the internet (people pay us to email them stuff...seriously). Our Internet business changed our family's future, and it could change your family's too! Imagine making hundreds of extra dollars each month. Would that change your life? Could you use that extra money to pay your mortgage, get out of debt, give your kids a better Christmas, or even take that vacation you've been putting off? You can, and it’s probably easier than you think. We are a real family from Kentucky that makes a living entirely through internet marketing. This podcast is about how we make money online through Internet business, and how it lets us live a lifestyle other people can hardly imagine. Our goal is to help other families create, market, and sell digital products on the internet. Selling digital products helped us earn more money, have breathing room in our budget, and eventually quit our regular jobs. We've seen the power of online business first hand, now we want to help you see it too!

    Get Unstuck and Find FOREVER Customers!

    Get Unstuck and Find FOREVER Customers!

    Our guest this week is a real inspiration!
    We’re super excited to help Flip Your Life community member & ASL Resource Developer, Cynthia Long.
    Cynthia has been married 32 years, a mother of 3 AND grandmother of 3. Her passion in learning ASL began when her son had met a deaf boy in his study group. He said, “Mom, no one is talking to him.” It’s how they decided to learn sign language and she became hooked. She loved signing so much that she eventually got a degree in ASL.
    Because her passion was so strong, she took her board exam fresh off her first year. She was the first in her college to become Nationally Certified and later was the first to be Certified in the school district.
    After 8 years of interpreting in the school system, she noticed that there were no resources for deaf and hearing impaired kids. This led her to create Sign Baby Sign that was initially meant to teach babies ASL, and has now evolved to supplementing school systems with ASL resource.
    Their website is now ASLteachingresources.com and continues to expand its content.
    Cynthia’s website is loaded with content and has generated income mostly from one-off sales. She is looking into turning her online business to lean towards a more sustainable and recurring feature. This brings us to her guest question, “How do I set up my membership site for my niche?”
    Join us as we help Cynthia pivot from one-off sales to the more passive income generating membership model.
    Are you interested on what the membership model can do for you and your business? Do you want to learn about its advantages and the strategies we use to implement it? Then get your thinking cap on and tune in, this episode just might take you to that next level you’ve been wanting to reach!

    How to Increase Prices and Grow Your Community!

    How to Increase Prices and Grow Your Community!

    Want to know more about creating product tiers in your membership community?

    In this episode, we will discuss this strategy with our our Flip Your Life guest member, Joe Muench.
    Joe is a pharmacist who works in a hospital’s intensive care unit, and has been practicing since 2000. His wife Daphne is an elementary reading teacher and supports him in his online business through brainstorming and doing all the editing.
    They spent the first year building their audience with their podcast, but didn’t have a product yet. At the end of the first year, he wrote a book, called “A Pharmacist’s Guide to Inpatient Medical Emergencies” to teach hospital pharmacists and residents what to do during a “code blue” in the hospital.
    Joe pre-sold and then launched the beta version of his critical care pharmacy academy – intended as a recurring membership site. The membership successfully launched and has garnered him over 90 members to date.
    Joe and Daphne are wanting to flip their lives by growing their online academy, so they can have the flexibility to spend more quality time with their two kids.
    Join us as we help Joe decide how to deliver different product levels in order to get more people onboard. We will share our insight on the advantages of using pricing strategies and get a deeper understanding on customer lifetime value.
