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

Kathy Martin lives in Los Angeles, California, where she has been a special education math teacher for 13 years. She has a membership where she sells middle school math resources to middle school math teachers. She has been an online entrepreneur for the last 4 years! Kathy was actually on the Flipped Lifestyle Podcast back in January of 2018. She had launched and had a few members. Back then it was a real struggle to get members. Kathy says her membership site was a “hot mess” in the beginning. She wasn’t happy with the way her site looked, she didn’t know who she was talking to. It took her a really long time to figure out what she wanted to write about and she wanted to target. It took her a while to figure out what her people needed. Yes, it took her a long time to figure out but she knows that if she would have started with 100 members in 2018 or 2019, all of these members would have quit because she didn’t know what she was doing.

How To Build a Multi-Million Dollar Online Business! (w/ Brooke Castillo)
Today’s guest is Brooke Castillo of The Life Coach School! Brooke’s online business is on-pace to make $35,000,000 this year! In today’s episode you’ll learn: How Brooke discovered the membership model (through the Flipped Lifestyle Community)! The pivotal moment Brooke decided to use the membership model for her online business. How to run high-priced memberships Why it’s important to get your pricing right for your audience The marketing, tactics, all the things that took Brooke from 1,000 members and took it to the next level How you can implement Brooke’s strategies to make an 8-figure membership site! Brooke started out with a podcast (The Life Coach School Podcast) and a lot of launch products - no membership. One of the things she wanted to do was simplify her business with two main products. She wanted: A membership for clients that wanted to get coached (on anxiety, for drinking, weight loss). Her certifications for those who wanted to become a life coach. Creating a way to get coached in an affordable way meant memberships were the way to go! Brooke truly understands not to devalue yourself. She stacked up TONS of money into developing herself and her skillset. That means members paying $297/month is NOT too high of a price! When you create that much value, members could never spend enough to get the value out of it. In Brooke’s membership, she wanted her members to feel like they have exclusive access to her. That is why she didn’t let the members talk to each other! In doing so, the relationship felt more like they were just having it with her on a more personal level. The Life Coach School started because of Brooke’s personal experiences with ending her suffering around emotional eating. When she decided to become a life coach her experiences (God-given talents of experiences) lead her to fix a problem she knew was out there and that she knew the answers to! You can’t go into business just to make money. You have to have an offer and a desire to help others!

Jody Celebrates 4,000 Members!
Our guest this week on The Flipped Lifestyle Podcast is Jody Moore! Jody is the host of the Better Than Happy podcast, and her membership has over 4,000 members! One day on one of our member calls in The Flipped Lifestyle Community, one of our members said, ‘hey, someone was talking about you all the other day.’ So, we looked up this podcast. It was the Better Than Happy Podcast with Jody Moore. The name sounded familiar. When we listened to this episode that we were mentioned in, she was talking about her membership and how she learned about them from us! So, of course we had to talk to her! Jody is a great example of how you really can change your life and others through the membership model. The membership model allows more people access to Jody’s life coaching and allows her to help more people at the same time! Growing up, most of us are told that you work your tail off through college for a job with a decent income. For us, we hit a point where our floor, because of our memberships, was everybody else’s ceiling. It took us a few years to get through that launch world where if you don’t get 1000 members or $100K when you launch, then you’re not a success. But, through the membership model, we have the mindset of giving ourselves raises every day! That is how we developed our philosophy of: Consistent Relentless Prolific We consistently put out our podcast. We share the podcast every day and write the email to our list every day. We relentlessly follow up with every possible person that slightly raises their hand up into the sky that says ‘I’m paying attention to you.’ Good things are going to happen, because I keep doing that over and over and over again. Then, it’s just a matter of what tools you’re using to keep that going, as everything continues growing. Find out more about Jody at JodyMoore.com! In today’s episode you’ll learn: You don’t have to have a big launch How to reach thousands of people Your membership site can evolve as you do How to define your own success 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!

How To Market Your Membership!
Hey y’all! Today’s guest on The Flipped Lifestyle Podcast is community member Jay Cravens! Jay and his dad, Mark, came to one of our recent Life Surge events in Tampa, FL. They attended one of our workshops to try to figure out an idea for an online business they could work on together! Jay and Mark came up with a great idea to help parents and grandparents connect with their kids and grandkids by learning technology at LinkTheTree.com! Before coming to the event in Tampa, Jay had experience as a YouTuber, so he’s been able to take that experience to quickly launch his membership. We can use the skills we’ve built over the years to get a minimum viable product available to the public. In this episode, we try to narrow down exactly what Jay needs to offer in his membership, so he can have more focused marketing with Facebook ads. We also talk about the dangers of creating too much content. You don’t want to overwhelm potential customers by throwing a ton of content at them immediately; instead, focus on just a few vital elements to make your membership more enticing. Jay has a great mission, and it’s a fitting podcast because this is Shane’s first episode after a scary visit to the hospital. It was through technology that he was able to communicate with his family. I know you’re going to get value from this podcast! In today’s episode you’ll learn: How to get your offer right The dangers of creating too much content How to narrow down your avatar How using skills you’ve learned can help you start your membership quickly No matter what you’re building, the fundamentals are the same We would love to have you as a member of The Flipped Lifestyle Community!

Today’s guest on the Flipped Lifestyle podcast is Lauren Greutman! Lauren was previously a guest on The Shane Sams Show. She’s an entrepreneur who has been on several television shows, and she’s known as an expert on budgeting and saving money. Lauren had considered starting a membership before, but it seemed like a huge undertaking. She joined memberships previously that were a bit overwhelming, and since she was making a decent living already, she wondered if it was worth the time and effort. Well, Lauren decided to launch her budgeting and personal finance membership just 11 days ago and already has 62 paying members! So, how did she get so many members so fast? It’s all about focus! Lauren had previous courses and content and was using a variety of tools to run her business, but she decided to take the plunge to put all of her courses in one place and sell one thing: a membership. Shane and Lauren also discuss some mindset issues behind pricing, along with some strategies that Lauren can use to get to 100 and even 1,000 members!

5 Lessons I Learned From My Life-Threatening Illness
Here are some of my early thoughts reflecting on my life threatening experience... 1) Health is wealth 2) Family and community are everything. 3) Thank God for the flexibility of online business 4) God has a mission for us all, and every day you wake up, he's saying "I'm not done with you yet. Get to work." 5) There is no tomorrow. Only today. When you are faced with the real possibility of no tomorrow, you realize how precious today really is. I was healthy one day, then not the next. That fast. I was attacking life, and then I was fighting for my life. If the sun is shining, if you are awake and reading this email... Then you have TODAY! Today is the day the Lord has made... let us REJOICE and be glad in it y'all! Procrastination has no place in our life anymore. I declare war on "tomorrow" and claim "TODAY" as the day of my salvation, my action, my chance... the day of action, the day of effort, the day of stop putting things off, the day of checking off the boxes and getting stuff DONE... And you should too... Your life can change in an instant (mine did), and unfortunately, it doesn't always have a happy ending or a second chance or a clear bill of health at the end of the story... You may not have tomorrow to chase your dream... Or call that loved one... Or to start your online business... You only have TODAY. Did YOU see the Sunrise? What does that mean? It means God gave you another day... Don't waste it... No more "tomorrows" Get out there... Take action... And do whatever it takes to Flip Your Life. A special thank you to everyone out there who prayed for me and my family, left us a messages on social media, or sent us cards and emails while I was sick. You helped us through the storm, and we will never forget the love you sent our way in a hard time. We love you, and are so grateful for you, and will use this gift of life and time to serve you and your family! 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!

Our online business journey started out with so many people around us asking, “Why did you do that?” After taking action and showing the doubters and naysayers that success is possible, that you really don’t have to live paycheck to paycheck, that question later turned into, “How did you do that?” We realized the difference we can make in other people’s lives — a life where you can be the boss. We created the Flipped Lifestyle to help answer one of the most vital life questions — “How can I do that too?” We’re going all out in this episode, so we hope you can take home a nugget of wisdom or two. And remember, if we can do it, YOU CAN DO IT TOO.
