Summary

#1257 Today we're continuing our fantastic Where Are They Now? episode run. Emory Wanger, my returning guest, is someone who I often use as an example because of the incredible way he serves his niche. At ByLand.co, he provides backpackers at any level with the specific resources that make sense for them. As you know, we're deeply committed to online communities here at SPI. One thing we rarely talk about, however, is creating and running free Facebook groups. In fact, we've advised our listeners against that strategy here and on our Community Experience podcast. But are Facebook groups ever the right move for a business, and can we use them to attract and drive traffic to our offerings? Emory may have cracked the code! This chat is an inside look at how he runs his massive group of 30,000 members without it descending into chaos. Join us to find out more! Show notes and more at SmartPassiveIncome.com/ap1257.

0:10.0	What's up everybody, Pathland here and welcome to episode 1,257 of Ask Pat 2.0.
0:18.0	We're starting off this year with a whole bunch of Where Are They Now episodes.

0:31.6	And today we're speaking with Emery from byland.com.
0:35.9	Byland is an amazing website to help people with backpacking.
0:39.0	And one of the first times he was on the show, this was back in episode 1,148, so over
0:45.0	a hundred episodes ago.
0:46.9	Emory had just launched his first online course and was dealing with a lot of what we
0:51.1	always feel when we're selling for the first time.
0:52.9	A lot of those sort of thoughts about, well, is this the right thing for me, kind of feeling a little icky
0:57.9	sometimes? Because, you know, we often will publish things for free and we get an amazing
1:03.1	audience and a lot of support, but we almost feel bad to sell things. So we're going to talk
1:08.4	with Emory about, well, what has happened since? How has that
1:11.8	course taken course, if you will, and how is his podcast doing and all those other things as well?
1:16.7	So this is going to be an amazing update, again, from Emory Wanger. You can find him at byland.com.
1:23.2	Again, it's byland.com. He has a podcast called the Byland Podcast, and just a great update here.
