You may wonder in the instant messaging, social media world we live in now, whether building an email list is still worth it.

In fact this is Part 1 of what will ultimately be a 3 part podcast series.

Wouldn’t it be awesome if on any given day you could choose to work from anywhere? Your favourite coffee shop, your kitchen table in your PJ’s, a beautiful beach. 

Well, that’s why we start lifestyle businesses. So we have that kind of choice. 

This week I decided to head down to my local beautiful beach here in Phuket for the day & record today’s podcast! I felt recording on the beach would highlight the benefits of what I’m talking about nicely! 

The podcast is an audio summary highlighting the main 8 steps to building your own online lifestyle business as detailed extensively in my step by step post here - How to Start a Life Changing Online Lifestyle Business. 

I highly recommend once you’ve listened to the podcast & made a note of each of the steps you read through the main post & download my free guide (see full show notes here).

Here's what I cover in the podcast;

This was such an energetic chat with Paul Holman founder of Duchy Digital Publishing. 

Paul contacted me a few weeks ago and asked if he could publish my free ebook ‘6 Ways to Build a Business You Can Run From Anywhere in the World’ on kindle as an experiment.

Always fascinated to learn new things I was curious about the process and so as soon as the book went live I jumped on a live with Paul to find out what he did to get the book published.

Unfortunately I was a few days late and so missed advertising the 5 ‘free’ days you get to encourage people to leave reviews, so watch the interview then watch this space as we update and republish the book to get the launch / promo stages right.

I have also published an in depth post all about ‘How to Easily Self Publish and Sell Kindle Books on Amazon KDP 

This is a lifestyle business model you could get up and running in a weekend and the best part, you don’t even have to write the book!

Wouldn’t it be awesome if there was a way to create almost instant authority & credibility to our brand. A way to help us stand out from the crowd, get noticed and create opportunities we might not otherwise have!

Well, I’m happy to say there is. It involves a little up front work but according to todays guest it doesn’t have to be hard, it doesn’t have to take longer than a few days and once it’s live & published you can use it as your business card and extended marketing tool!

Sandra Spence and her business partner Sigrid de Kaste wrote the book ‘Build a Book to Build a Business’ to teach business owners how to create instant authority by publishing a book that showcases you as the expert in your niche.

Cambodia is one of my favorite places in the world.

I was especially excited therefore to interview the awesome Roaming Rebels who at the time of interview were locked down in Cambodia due to the Covid 19 outbreak!

Barbara & Louis (aka Roaming Rebels) decided to pack up their lives in South Africa, reinvent themselves at age 50 and go traveling around the world on motorbikes!

Louis is the motorbike guy, for Barbara its been a new and interesting experience!

Along the way they’ve built a fabulously engaging Instagram account with almost 6000 followers already (they only set out last October) and hundreds of comments per post and do weekly travel videos on their YouTube channel.

I managed to catch up with them in the hotel they were staying in and find out;

An upbeat, inspiring, engaging interview with a beautiful couple living the dream!

In 2015 my husband & I started selling on Amazon. Within 12 months we'd grossed 1.2 million dollars with one product! It blew our minds.

We continued to grow our business over the following years topping $3 million (per year) with net profits in the region of 15 - 18%, until we sold it in early 2020.

That little business set us up for a good many years and taught me, in particular, the power of a loyal audience and a strong trusted brand (i.e, Amazon)

When we started in 2015, we invited members of my community to watch over our shoulders as we built the business. Two such members were Dan Worthington and his Mum Sue, who after 3 years growing their Amazon brand started traveling the world full time in 2018. You can find Dan and track his adventures @wanderingworthy on Instagram.

In Feb this year, they came out to Phuket, Thailand for my wedding, and as Covid struck decided to stay here for a while. In today's podcast episode Dan & I got together in the garden of a villa they were renting here to go through the process of starting and growing a successful brand on Amazon.

I have added this podcast to my step by step mammoth Amazon guide on my blog which you can read and follow along here - https://yourlifestylebusiness.com/amazon-fba/

I hope it helps!
