Check out Ben's post in our Flip Your Life Success Forum... What up FL Fam! I'm 5 years into this online business and just cracked my 6 figure goal for this year - Whoooo Hooooo! The income has been a combination of the following streams of revenue:  * Membership Sales (majority of my income came from the memberships on my site) * Single PDF / Resource sales on my site * PDF / Resource sales on Teachers Pay Teachers (this alone was around 30K this year) * E-Course income from a Phys Ed Professional Development company * Speaking / Presenting Fees for leading District and Conference professional development sessions for PE teachers As I've just had my 3rd child, I can't say how grateful I am for the income from this online business that allows my wife to stay home with our kids and also has allowed me to impact tons of other teachers in a positive way in the field of Physical Education. Before I signed up for the FYL E-Course (before it was a membership) in 2014 I would have never dreamed of making the income or having the impact that I've been able to have today and I'm really thankful for Shane and Jocelyn for creating such an awesome community. It's been a ton of hard work, but has also been really enjoyable and satisfying to create something for myself. Thanks Everyone! P.S.
