Never Worry About Collecting Annual Membership Dues Again – Not Quite, But You Should Hear What Shane Sams Has To Say About What You Can Do Instead
#034 – Today I am speaking with Shane Sams. Shane has one of the most popular episodes on Pat Flynn’s Smart Passive Income Podcast. His episode #122 is one of SPI’s most popular. To put this in perspective, SPI has more than 500 episodes and over one million downloads. Shane’s episode has more downloads than Tim Ferris and Gary Vaynerchuck combined.
Shane started the flipped lifestyle with his wife Jocelyn. Their mission is to help 100,000 families flip their life by turning it upside down thru starting, building, and growing an online business.
Although they primarily work with individuals, they also work with nonprofits and I think there is a lot of potential for our small mission driven organizations, especially those that rely on membership dues. Our organizations can use what Shane teaches to start a fun online business and use the funds generated from that effort to fund their organization’s programs and ditch their membership dues.
Shane says that in building a successful membership group….
“You’ve got to provide value with content. You’ve got to provide value by uniting the community and you’ve got to bring access to the people”.
AND
“People are only going to exchange their proof of work, which is money, for your proof of solution”.
Be sure to stick around to hear how Shane, in his words, “about wrecked my lawnmower”.
