FL 158 – We help Paul optimize his social media following to grow his online membership community

The power of social media is at its peak now more than ever. As online entrepreneurs, we must learn how it works and how we can take advantage of it. Listen in on this episode to learn how to use social media platforms to grow your online membership community. We have another fantastic guest on the show today who's serving his community in a truly meaningful way. Flipping his life and online business to the next level is FYL community member & Church Tech Specialist, Paul Clifford. Paul has been married to his wife, Christina, for 18 years. They have two kids: Trinity and Ellie. He has been called to serve since his teenage years, but was unsure how to fulfill this purpose until he became Church Technician. He is an expert in a church presentation software -- ProPresenter, and has created several courses on it. Being a church tech is quite a lonely vocation, but Paul was dedicated to creating a platform by which he can help others like himself to provide high quality church presentations in order to improve the service experience. He started his online venture in February 2011 and has significantly grown his online presence and credibility. He has also created books and multiple courses that would lead his audience towards his online membership. Paul has already gotten his first 12 members. The questions now is, how do we ramp it up to 100? Join us as we help Paul understand the push and pull behind social media platforms, how to use that to his advantage and win the sales-numbers game.

Success Story of the Week: Today's success story comes from Lea, and it is an awesome success story because we get so wrapped up as entrepreneurs in the money and in growing our memberships, and growing our businesses that we forget that our online business is changing people lives, are changing the world and that is what this one is about.  The subject for this success story is, "Making an impact." Lea posted: "It's not often that we hear how we are impacting lives through the content and teachings we offer.  I just had the best conversation with one of my followers.  She told me that my recent blog post, 'Seven ways parents can help teens find their passion,' helped her reconnect with her daughter in a spectacularly meaningful way.  She downloaded the lead magnet, and use the questions there as conversation starters to help her kid figure out what she really cared about.  It brought to light a lot of the things mom didn't know about her teenager, and helped the daughter really feel better about her own path. The best part: the mom cried when she told me that it brought her closer to her teen.  Their relationship has been strained for years, and this left them both feeling great.
