The Shane Sams Show

I am pumped because today we have an amazing guest on the show - Amy Porterfield! Amy Porterfield is one of the best podcasters and entrepreneurs anywhere online. She has built an incredible business that generates millions of dollars every single year! Part of her strategy? The membership model in her Momentum Membership! Amy says she has a customer journey product line inside her business with 3 products: 1) List Builders Society 2) How to Create a Digital Course 3) Membership Program Momentum Membership is Amy's back-end membership. She created it because she felt 12 weeks wasn't enough in order to create your course and launch it again! She ultimately wanted to "stay in the trenches" to continue to train and troubleshoot with her members! Amy's membership is based on 3 things: community, accountability, and training! We also discuss self-doubt. Coming out from behind the stage (after working for Tony Robbins), putting herself out there was terrifying. She often thought, "who am I to be doing this?" The fear she had and the imposter syndrome was all in her head - Amy keeps her mindset in check every single week! In today's episode you'll learn: How Amy Porterfield grew her membership community into a million dollar membership (during a pandemic)! The importance of list-building! How you can use webinars to grow a membership site of your own. How to use Facebook to grow your business! What Amy does to stop self-doubt!

Today's guest on the Shane Sams Show is Brooke Castillo of The Life Coach School! Brooke has one of the most successful membership sites and businesses you will ever hear! Get this: Brooke's business is on-pace to make $35,000,000 this year! It's ALL done through monthly memberships! 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! 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 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 a 8-figure membership site!

Well a few months ago I sent him that text and he replied back, "I have a secret - it's coming soon!" I'm happy to report that that day has finally come and Pat Flynn has launched his first paid membership community - SPI Pro. SPI Pro rolled out of the gates with hundreds of applicants and members, and is already an amazing success story in Pat's portfolio.
