There is a BIG trend brewing that’s revolutionizing the way business is being done. Big companies like Netflix, Amazon, Apple and traditional companies like Walmart are jumping on this too. But so are thousands of others - and they’re doing it by shifting to a recurring revenue model. Meaning, more entrepreneurs than ever before have found a way to incorporate a membership or monthly subscription into their business model - and it’s transforming the way they operate forever. No longer do they feel the pressure and stress of having to find new customers every single month. Instead, they just take care of the people who already bought from them and the monthly, recurring revenue keeps building month after month. So how are they doing it? How are they marketing their membership sites? How are they keeping their members happy and paying month after month? And how have they built an incredibly tight bond with their tribe and online community? That's what our show host Shelli Varela explores in this podcast. You'll hear from people building low-stress membership business in just about every niche market you can think of. From photography and calligraphy to dog training, music, art, fitness, well being, self-improvement, blogging, interior decorating, day trading, meal planning, lesson planning and so many more. You'll hear from authors, speakers, coaches, consultants, influencers, teachers and business owners who are all leveraging their existing knowledge and influence and transforming it into passive monthly income. This isn't luck. There is a repeatable formula for producing a growing subscription income… and we'll show you what it is within the episodes of this show. So if you're thinking you'd like to have your own source of recurring revenue each month or, you already have a membership site that you want to take to the next level, subscribe to this show today. Each week, your host, Shelli Varela, will be breaking down their success and uncovering the real story of how they did it… and how you can too! The Recurring Revolution is here… the question is, will you be part of it? Subscribe to the show today!

125: From Procrastinator To Procrastination Coach

Episode 125

mardi 18 mai 2021 • Duration 20:31

Dr. Christine Li was an extraverted child who struggled to manage her time, and it left her constantly stressed.

Now, at Procrastination Coach, she helps her patients ditch their stresses, fears, and the feeling of being “stuck” for good. She teaches productivity, self-discipline, and the essential steps to live without procrastination and to live a life of purpose and confidence.

Today, Dr. Li joins the podcast to share her journey from procrastinator to procrastination coach, why there’s no single path to success (and why that’s okay), and the powerful ripple effect created when you help others unlock their potential.

022: Why Your Membership Site Doesn’t Need to be Perfect to Launch with Lauren Gayfer

Episode 22

mardi 28 mai 2019 • Duration 21:20

Lauren Gayfer launched her career as a nutritional therapist with a private practice, seeing patients one-on-one. However, she found herself limited by two things. She lived in a small town where there was only a small number of people she could serve. And she was family first, needing time to care for her two children. This left her feeling restricted, bored, and struggling to make ends meet .

Business coaching encouraged her to create her first online business - a four-week group coaching program that naturally led to her creating a monthly meal plan membership site. Though it was simple, it added value for her clients - and she was finally able to turn her passion into a scalable and sustainable business.

Today, Lauren joins the podcast to talk about leaving a career in advertising to pursue nutrition, why you don’t always need to share stories from your own life to connect with your audience, and how even the most introverted people can push out of their comfort zones to build authentic connections and serve more people than ever before.
