SPI 037: Monetizing in a Hobby Niche—Success Story, Interview Series 3




The Smart Passive Income Online Business and Blogging Podcast show

Summary: In this session of the Smart Passive Income Podcast I'm stoked to feature yet another success story from someone who has built a six-figure business online in a hobby niche that, to be honest, I never thought was possible to make a living from—at least online. Lain Ehmann from <a href="http://www.layoutaday.com" target="_blank">LayoutaDay.com</a> shares an amazing story about how she's built an online business in the scrapbooking industry! Beyond her story, she shares a ton of incredibly useful information that I look forward to putting into practice myself someday. In this session you'll learn about: How Lain turned her passion into profit after starting a blog. Her monetization strategies and how much she's earning. How Lain used an "unfair advantage" to make great strides with her business and get ahead of the competition. The most important elements that contributed to her success in the scrapbooking industry, and it was not her artistic talent. The importance of diversification and multiple streams of income. How she's created an online convention for the scrapbooking industry, and why it's so successful. Examples of how Lain is putting my "Be Everywhere" marketing philosophy into practice. Plus a lot more... <a href="http://traffic.libsyn.com/patflynn/SPI037.mp3">Right click here to download the MP3</a> Items mentioned in this podcast include: <a href="http://www.layoutaday.com" target="_blank">Layout a Day</a> <a href="http://www.smartpassiveincome.com/aweber" target="_blank">Aweber</a> <a href="http://www.nanowrimo.org/" target="_blank">Nanowrimo</a> <a href="http://www.becomeablogger.com/" target="_blank">Yaro's Starak's Blogging Course</a> <a href="http://www.truescrap.com" target="_blank">True Scrap</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LayoutADay" target="_blank">Layout a Day (on Facebook)</a> <a href="http://twitter.com/lainehmann" target="_blank">Lain on Twitter</a> I hope you enjoy this session of the SPI podcast!
