Digital Lifestyle Business – What Is It?
Digital lifestyle businesses are those which can be operated from a laptop from anywhere globally. By using existing businesses and business models, people earn commissions based on sales they make by referring customers to products and services online.
A “digital lifestyle business” has taken on a new meaning since the pandemic in 2020. But prior to this, owning a lifestyle business meant you could travel and work from anywhere from a laptop.
Lifestyle businesses are becoming all the more important now, with global financial uncertainty affecting so many people.
Lifestyle businesses aren’t affected financially by the pandemic because they are predominantly based online. In fact, many are booming right now as more and more people look for alternative income courses.
Lifestyle Businesses – Providing Value
The SFM Mentors offers a way for anyone to transition into the digital business space from anywhere. The SFM, (Six Figure Mentors), was set up in 2010 by entrepreneurs Stuart Ross and Jay Kubassek to help people build online businesses but who have no experience.
Their program offers an all in one business system and training community to help people learn the skills to build an online business from scratch. They offer a number of different business models including their own products range, which anyone can use to earn money from as an affiliate.
Affiliate marketers promote other people’s products and services online to earn commissions based on the sales they generate. They don’t need their own products or services. The SFM coaches and mentors online marketers in strategies for marketing products online.
Lifestyle Mentors
Pre-pandemic, The SFM offered a number of live meetings to help entrepreneurs build their businesses around the world. Since lockdown, they’ve had to pivot their expertise to offer more value online through live seminars and workshops – which Stuart and Jay and other members of the team run frequently.
I was able to meet founders Stuart and Jay in 2014 during a London training event. Here’s me with Jay below.
What Can A Digital Lifestyle Business Do For You?
A digital lifestyle business can offer a means to earn an income from anywhere globally. With The SFM’s own digital business system, you can earn income in several ways:
- Through sales of their training programs
- From sales closed by an in-house sales team – closing sales on your behalf
- From high value digital products – Mastermind trainings and 1 on 1 affiliate marketing coaching and mentoring courses.
- Through membership sales – giving you a recurring income
- Also from multi-tier sales (at partnership level Mastermind Experience) – multi-tier sales allow you to earn from sales made by your referrals
By setting up a digital sales funnel, anyone can learn how to sell digital products on the internet by sending targeted traffic (visitors) to their websites and landing pages. An automated email follow up series can deliver products directly to subscribers who join your list.
This online sales system is set up through the step by step modules you can access through your membership. Access a full training program here.
Lifestyle Business – Marketing Your Business System
A digital lifestyle business gives you everything you need to start your own online business. Once you’ve set up your business system, you’ll need to learn how to market your business. This can be done through various online marketing strategies which are taught throughout the SFM’s training resources:
- Archive trainings and webinars on video
- Live question and answer sessions available
- One on one coaching and mentoring available through the product range
- Regular events held online to help members with marketing and mindset training
Most people who are starting out with a digital lifestyle business haven’t got any marketing skills. So this is the largest part of what you’ll learn. A digital business can be marketed in various ways and you’ll choose a strategy which best suits you, your marketing budget and the business model you’re using.
SFM’s Business Models
You can learn how to market many products online through the SFM’s trainings. But many opt to use the SFM’s own business system and market it as an affiliate. This gives you the option of earning a variety of commissions depending on your positioning in the business system.
As a basic member level, you can promote the business with the following commission structure:
These are all the products you can promote as an affiliate for the SFM’s own product range. As you purchase larger value products and access more training and mentoring, you can also earn larger commissions based on this same product range. DEA (Digital Experts Academy) members can access the below commission levels.
A partner member of the SFM is be eligible to earn multi tier commissions based on sales made by your referrals.
