Earn a Living Online with Spencer Fry

 

Spencer Fry is the Founder and CEO of Podia, a platform that helps creators build and sell online courses, memberships, and digital downloads to their audience.

This episode is for you if:

  • You are a creative who wants to build a sustainable online business.
  • You want to up-level your business in creative ways that build community 
  • You’re wondering how to build your list and deliver solid content

“Building a business is a long process. It’s not about a quick money making scheme. It’s something that’s going to take time, effort, and hard work.

People tend to get disillusioned by all the success stories we hear through social media and the friend of a friend who woke up to a million followers. 

What lead to Fry’s success? Persistence. It wasn’t an overnight success, but it is a huge success that took a great deal of work. 

Pro Tip: Persistence is the #1 most important trait. Never give up on a problem. Yes, you can have your netflix days, but then get back up the next morning and find the solution. 9/10 there’s a solution as long as you take the time to find it. 

On Starting Your Business

“Start with a free course, or free download” 

Deliver excellent free content and once you have more people downloading your products and in your email list, survey your customers. Build more content (paid content like a course) from the responses you receive.

The closer you are to your customers and the more answers you have

Market Hack 

Over the past few years, the market has evolved and people trust more than ever in buying from the individual. This is great news for solopreneurs!

 

Finding Success in Online Business

“A lot of people give up too early” 

If you’r starting an online business for the first time, the truth of the matter is … it takes time. 

There’s a lot of competition out there. There’s a lot of barriers to break through. Many don’t see the success they expect to see and inevitably walk away. 

Your success depends on your persistence and ability to pivot and evolve with the needs of your customers.  

Pro Tip: Be absolutely meticulous with data collection. Know where all your trial customers are coming from, who’s converting, and then spend more time developing that channel.
