Summary

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 launching registration for my big conference next week. My wait list is going great-- 600+ people say they want to come, there are 150 spots. Any tips for promoting sales? also, I'm going to use a Membership plugin to take registrations (MemberPress) because then I thought attendees could use that to login at the conference and get their handouts, etc. Does that sound okay, or should I use a specific event type registration plugin, or something like Eventbrite?"

Question Two:

"First of all, FYL Nashville Live was AWESOME!! Thanks S+J and team for making this happen. Now, on to my question: You have been offering a free month to the FYL Community. If you're comfortable sharing, what kind of results are you seeing? My membership site is ready and I'm forming my beta group. I am considering having a "free" membership tier, as a way to get folks in the door and get to my first paying customer. Do you think this is a good approach to get my first paying members? Or would you caution away from that?"

Question Three:

"My question - i am planning on running an evergreen webinar "in the background" while I continue to blog, provide value, etc. Any tips on how to running an evergreen webinar strategy? I am using an old webinar that I have done live over the summer on classroom management that I feel would be really beneficial to teachers now school is in full swing...I am planning on using FB for ads and letting my email lists know that I have this webinar going on...would love any tips and advice and how to maximize this strategy. Thanks, ya'll...gotta get back to my classroom ;/"

Question Four:

"If you had a medical condition and limited energy, how would you prioritize your time for building and running your membership?"

SUCCESS STORY:

"SUCCESS: Since the Nashville, I started a waiting list, and yesterday, launched my new class! I have 12 people signed up already. I'm teaching the first webinar one week from today!"
