Today’s guest on the Shane Sams Show is my good friend, the one and only Pat Flynn of the Smart Passive Income Podcast!
As many of you know Pat was a huge inspiration and early mentor in our quest to become online entrepreneurs. His story inspired me and my wife Jocelyn to launch our first online business. And, he even encouraged us to launch the Flipped Lifestyle Podcast.
I’ve had the great pleasure of getting to know Pat over the years and even appeared twice on the Smart Passive Income Podcast!
All the years I’ve known Pat I’ve asked him multiple times, “bro, when are you going to launch a 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.
In today’s episode Pat and I are going to go deep into his strategy for starting, building, and launching a successful membership community. We are going to talk about using an application process for your membership to create and control the culture of your community. We are also covering how to tie a monthly recurring membership site with your existing course, coaching, or affiliate business. And, how critical a team is to building a million dollar membership of your own!
In today’s episode you’ll learn:
Why start a membership in the first place?
Running an application for your membership 101
Why you should scale what doesn’t scale
Using third-party memberships
