Story Notes
Chrissie Riese has a masters degree in athletic training and used to work with sports teams. The Riese family is military – Chrissie’s husband is active-duty Navy. A few years ago Chrissie decided the hours she was working was not not working for her family so she decided to transition into being at home. In her new found time she started a blog. The blog was focused on helping moms with healthy and safety for their kids and went great for about 2 years.
Her traffic was good, she had a healthy email list, but one thing was missing. She realized she should probably be selling these people something so she could make some money! But, as she began sending out sales emails she didn’t feel right about it. It wasn’t the right fit.
What were the Riese family passionate about? Camping and RVs! So here we are helping her pivot her blog into a camping membership site!
Why switch your business to an online membership model?
Chrissie’s “mommy blog” is making money but what is it missing? Community! That’s part of the whole reason for Chrissie’s pivot in the first place! For them the membership model gives the connection to other that are passionate about camping too – in a way that a simple course would never allow. Even better? She doesn’t have to wait for the next paycheck!
How do you make a major pivot?
Right now Chrissie’s biggest fear is letting people down. Right now she gets an ad click – she doesn’t know that person, if they didn’t like the ad click that’s on them. But now, if something happens it happens to someone she she has built a relationship with. After all these years we still feel this fear all the time!
What are your next steps?
Here’s what we suggest for Chrissie to help make her pivot:
- Let’s get the Google ads off of her website. Do not use any monetization besides the membership. every space that has a Google ad is going to be replaced by telling people to join the campers community.
- Starting quiz to help people determine the best camper for them. People would have to opt-in to take the quiz through her lead magnet.
- Create a tripwire for a $9 course in the quiz.
- Create an order-bump.
- Start doing weekly membership calls.
- Get the core content ready!
