The Flipped Lifestyle Podcast

Need ideas on how to build your membership into an engaging community? Listen in as we discuss strategies on membership community to help our guest for today. On the Flipped Lifestyle podcast this week, we have the online entrepreneur behind ECHE Music, Simone Henry. Having been born to a family passionate about music, Simone grew up loving every aspect of it and used to sing in their church with her sisters. She was also fascinated with business and the internet, and went on to college and got a degree in Information Systems from business school. The Christian Jukebox was a wondrous blend of her many passions. She had gotten the idea after her sister emailed from Spain asking for help to find a recording of a song for the accompanying musicians to play during her performance. Simone did what any devoted sister would do, she scoured the internet but couldn't find a quality recording. She thought "there ought to be a place on the internet where I can get quality Christian music,” and thus, The Christian Jukebox was born! This was simply the beginning. She later relinquished The Christian Jukebox and had launched ECHE Music in 2013. Her latest venture intends to bring together indie Christian artists, helping them learn about the music industry so that they can better spread their positive message to the world as well as sustain their lives and ministries. Simone is determined to turn her current membership layout into an indie artist’s nest. Her question now is, how does one create an engaging membership community? Join us as we help her take her Christian music business to the next level, share strategies to encourage member engagement even when being a conversationalist isn’t exactly your strong suit.

We also have Flip Your Life member, Paul Cameron, sharing what happens when you take immediate action and how it leads you to success. Paul's post says: "My podcast just aired today, S&J suggested that I completely rework my home page at speedupmyjobsearch.com, make it less text-y, change my get started button from blue to red, remove the ads, simplify everything and use the testimonials more strategically - so I did. I haven't had a new member in 2 months, but last Wednesday I made all the changes they suggested, then Thursday I got a new monthly member on my $19 plan, Friday I got a quarterly coaching member at $297 and Sunday I got a new full monthly member at $49 - all out of the blue! None of them had seen me speak before, none are in my autoresponder, they were just my website visitors. To top it off, I started a 2nd membership site a couple weeks ago because the 1st one had been struggling so much, it's no where near done yet, but yesterday, someone just joined that one for $100. That's $450 in one week from websites! Very cool."
