Summary
Online business isn't just about following your passions; we can also help others get through difficult times with our experiences!
In today's episode, we discuss:
- How to use life experience to build a purposeful online business
- Launching with a minimum viable product
- Building an audience on YouTube
- Pivoting from one idea to the next
- Moving from courses to a membership
Today's guest on The Flipped Lifestyle Podcast is Kate Conwell!
Kate was a pole vaulter in college and a personal trainer, and, after coming to one of our events, she had a desire to start an online business around fitness.
She soon discovered that she wasn't passionate about this and, instead, decided to start a community to help women overcome the betrayal of infidelity.
She started JourneyBeyondBetrayal.com to provide comfort, connection, and resources for women facing the pain of an unfaithful husband.
Kate launched the community and has her first 2 members! We talk about strategies to help her get more members and build an audience.
Our spotlight story this week is Jessica Lopez from OTGenius.com!
Jessica had successful courses but pivoted into the membership model to better serve her customers.
There's tons of value in this episode of the podcast because we're also answering a couple of questions from the Flipped Lifestyle Community forums!
- How do I find people in my niche?
