Wouldn’t it be awesome to have your online business questions answered too?
If you’re not a Flip Your Life member yet where you can ask them directly, you can listen in on this live member Q&A session (which they do twice a month for their community), and pick up some valuable advice on online business.
PROTIP: Put your membership in a subdomain!
At the time this member Q&A was recorded, the new Flipped Lifestyle website redesign and relaunch were in the progress, and at this point, broken. But despite that, they were still able to make money because they invested in different tools and used separate hosting for their website and membership.
Here are some of the questions asked by the FYL members, and the things Shane talk about to address each concern.
