Hi, we're Shane & Jocelyn Sams. Are you looking for something different? You've found it! Welcome to The Flipped Lifestyle Podcast! 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! If you would like to learn more about selling stuff online, check us out online at FlippedLifestyle.com or learn how you can do what we do at FlippedLifestyle.com/FlipYourLife

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!
We would love to have you as a member of The Flipped Lifestyle Community! We believe you have God-given talents and experiences you can use to start an online business! All you need is 100 people to pay you $50/m online to make $5,000/m, $60,000/y! Let us help you start a membership of your own. Click here to learn more: https://flippedlifestyle.com -
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.

Create Your OWN Path with an Online Membership
How do you start an engaging online membership community where people come and stay month-after-month? That’s what we’re going to be analyzing with you and Kristin today.
Joining us on today’s show is a Private Mastermind participant and fellow educator, Kristin Houser.
Kristin is currently working and researching as an Elementary School Instructional Coach. She has been in the education scene for about 13 years now, 7 years as a Classroom Teacher and 6 years as an Instructional Coach. She specializes in helping teachers maximize their potential and enable them to improve their way of teaching.
During her transition from classroom teacher to instructional coach, she had been searching for content and possibly a community, where she could get the extra boost that could help her in her own coaching journey. Having found little information online, she decided to create a place to provide a solid resource for other coaches that she had wished to have while she was just starting out.
Kristin wants to take her 6 years old blog a step and a leap further. More than just making some stable and recurring income, she wants to create a place where these professionals can get together and have a community.

Creating a Laser-Focused Lead Magnet!
Tara currently gets her income from e-commerce, YouTube, crypto, real estate investing, and more, and she wants to help other people work around their life instead of live around their work.

On this coaching call, Shane Sams and Tara Eitman come up with a plan of how to get people into Tara’s membership. This plan includes creating content regularly and promoting that content on various channels. They talk about the 80/20 rule and how getting something done is better than being a perfectionist.
