Links & resources: https://activegrowth.com/recession-proof-strategies/ Why do some businesses fold immediately when there's economic trouble, while others sail through seemingly unharmed? What strategies can entrepreneurs employ in these times of uncertainty, to not only make it through but even gain an advantage? In this episode, Shane Melaugh and Oliver Cowlishaw explore these topics.

What's the best way to build a thriving online business?According to Shane Melaugh, CEO and co-founder of Thrive Themes, there are three key ingredients.At first glance, they seem deceptively simple, and in many ways they are.You need to have a great offerYou need traffic to your websiteYou need a website that convertsYet actually focusing on them and implementing them is where most entrepreneurs fall down.This has been something Shane has tapped into from the get go, helping and teaching entrepreneurs how to do these 3 things well.In fact he's done what so many entrepreneurs do, which is to create a solution to a problem they're having, since no one else seems to be doing it well.Often our biggest frustrations are the best source of a new product or service idea.Not that you're your own ideal customer, but typically, and once you validate your assumptions, many other people often are having the same struggle or problem too, and want it solved.Not an Overnight Success StoryFor Shane, he realized early on when he was taking courses and learning as fast as he could, what it took to build an online business, that most courses he was taking sucked.He also felt the people teaching them weren't sharing the right information, or what they were teaching was out of date.So he created his own online course back in 2010 about SEO which he sold 2,000 copies of and made six figures of revenue from!But he's quick to point out, it wasn't an overnight success story.This actually happened over the course of 2 years with the first launch of his course only making a few dozen sales.What I appreciate most about Shane, is he's one of the few male online marketers who's not a BS artist and really tells it like it is.That is, that the reality of building a successful business usually takes years and LOTS of trial and error before actually reaching your big lofty dreams and goals.Problem Solving is the Best Way to LearnBack in 2010 when he launched his course, Shane didn't have the awesome platforms we have today that are all-in-one and let you create, sell, and host an online course without the technical headache like Podia.Instead, he built his first course on a WordPress website that he had to heavily customise to act as his course area with added membership access.He knew that in order for his business to thrive, he had to overcome obstacles and DO the complicated and difficult stuff.Once he had, he was in a much better position to create his own solution to his problem in the form of, the highly successful Thrive Themes, which includes blazingly fast WordPress templates and plugins, built to get more traffic, more subscribers and more customers.From there he's gone on to continue to build excellent products to help online entrepreneurs thrive, and release fantastic free content as well as regular and amazing courses.In this episode you'll learn:How to grow your business onlineWhy it's better to be stumbling forward than to be sitting paralysedWhy overnight success isn't realistic and what you should be aiming for insteadShane's 3 ingredients for a thriving online businessHow Thrive Themes can help you build a high converting websitePodcast ResourcesLearn more about Shane and all the ways he gets paid to be him.Check out Thrive Architect, which I use on this very website and start making high converting landing pages and beautiful websites.Check out Podia - a great platform for creating online coursesEnjoying these weekly nuggets of wisdom?

Build the Machine First. I literally just heard that on a webinar (podcast?) from Shane Melaugh of Thrive Themes (they're launching a new podcast called Active Growth, so naturally I wanted to listen in for their launch. I love their products & content. They're also brilliant at conversions & growth). I've followed the content on Thrive Themes as soon as I became a customer. It's one of the very few product sites I read regularly (they do content around using their products as well as online marketing strategies). One of my most favorite things that Thrive Themes does is break things down, step-by-step. Which was no doubt why Shane said to "build the machine first." Before we get into building the machine, I wanted to talk about a few things I see going on in the online marketing space and what it means for us. Buh-bye Bullsh*t Obviously, there will always be the ding dongs out there who make huge income claims or get caught up in the 'make money teaching how to make money' space, but they won't last long. During a recent podcast interview, I had with Troy Dean he reminded me of something I think most of us who have been online for a while forget... "there are literally hundreds of thousands of people discovering WordPres for the first time every day"... think about that for a minute. And it doesn't have to be WordPress. Whatever it is you do, there are tons of people out there who are just discovering what you do and would love to learn more. At the same time, there are tons of people out there who hit the web running with enthusiasm for finding their "thing" and find the douchey marketers first. Then they get frustrated because they've invested thousands of dollars, hundreds of hours (quite possibly thousands of hours as well) and haven't made a penny. They own more information products than they know what to do with, haven't completed most of them (side note: plenty of these products may very well be great products, but most are rarely a 'one size fits all' solution), and are on total overload. I wish nothing more for people to understand that creating a profitable online business takes work, commitment, and time. Can it happen faster than an offline business? Totally. In terms of speed, that depends on you. Although it's not how quickly you do things... it's how consistently you do things. As much as I try not to give energy to regrets, I truly wish I had gotten this lesson earlier. I wish I had trusted what felt right in my gut when I was building my business and had the strength to put blinders on when I came across shiny objects or lifestyle images. Not because everything was bullsh*t, but because they were simply distractions. Every time I went in a different direction (and losing site of the fundamentals), it delayed the results I wanted. Think about it... Let's say you decide you want to paint your house (or simply a room for that matter). What happens if start painting one wall, then go to Pinterest and start looking at other paint colors. You see something that appears to look better so you go get a different color and start over. Then you do this 10 more times. You NEVER see the end result. You never get the full picture for what the color would look like on the house or in the room because you never complete the job. Let's say you do finish the paint job... Unless you're having a party or inviting people over you'll never get the 'wow! Love the paint color you chose!' Of course, you painted the room for you, but the validation still feels good, right? Can you imagine going through this process over and over and over again? At some point you'd just pick a color... any color, because you'd be so sick of painting that you would just want it DONE. This is what happens in business when you keep jumping from one thing to the next (note: there is also a time for letting things go before they're finished as well,

We've covered the theory of the "customer first" approach in the last episode and showed how it can shortcut past a lot of time wasting work and lead to building a better business, faster. But what exactly does such a customer first strategy look like? In this episode, Shane Melaugh and Hanne Vervaeck go 100% practical. Here, we lay out a step by step process you can follow, to get your first customers within the week. For this, you need nothing more than a single landing page, an Internet connection and Skype. And a bit of good old elbow grease.   Get the show notes here: https://activegrowth.com/2

Shane Melaugh is Owner/Founder of ThriveThemes, a 35 employee, 7-figure turnover international software company. But the story isn't quite that simple.. To other self-funded founders, the success that Thrive has been having over the past 2 years may seem like an overnight success fairy-tale. But the story starts many years earlier. Shane wasn't good in school, dropped out of university and found himself working significantly "less-than-desireable" jobs for a few years. After a few years he began to find his feet creating and marketing information products, but as a non-technical founder, he was always frustrated with the complexity of building converting pages on Wordpress. The idea for the ThriveTheme suite was born from this frustration, and the rest is history.

Shane is an entrepreneur from Switzerland who dropped out of college, went through a period of working odd jobs and not knowing what to do with his life, and then ended up building multiple successful online businesses based on selling software, products and services.

In today’s episode, we talk to Shane Melaugh, from Thrive Themes, about how to get more email subscribers in 2016.

Today I have the pleasure of chatting with the team from Peepso: the founder, Merav, Eric the project designer, and Matt the lead developer. I'm going to be completely transparent and tell you I was SUPER thrilled to talk to Merav not only because she's awesome (as is Peepso), but because it was great to talk to a woman who has founded a software company and is doing it well ( of course Eric & Matt are awesome too :-). Next time I'll have to interview them in person, since they're in Indonesia!) Merav, Eric, and Matt worked together on Jomsocial over the years so the transition to working together on Peepso.  Merav had been involved with Joomla since around the time it started. Right after Merav discovered Joomla, she bought the domain name iJoomla.com where she has been creating extensions for Joomla ever since. Eric originally got a BA in English in college, then worked his way up in IT. He then started working for Jompsocial where he became project manager. Matt used to be a freelance developer for years, then he got involved with Joomla during the first few months it came out. He then met the owner of Jumpsocial and began working there, where he met Merav. When Merav saw how well Eric and Matt worked together she knew that the three of them would make a great team on Peepso. Peepso allows people who use word press to have their social media inside their own site. So instead of sending people to your Facebook to connect with you there, they can connect with you on your website. Questions I Asked:  What is Peepso? What made Merav decide to launch Peepso? Why did Merav choose to use the "free-mium" pricing model instead of a full fledged suite? What challenges did Merav face when creating her business? What has been the response in the WordPress community? What advice would Merav, Matt and Eric give to someone who wants to have their premium developed?   Things You'll Learn: Why it's important to keep people on your site to connect with you instead of sending them to other sites. How Merav overcame working with a community who expects most products to be free. The many features of Peepso. How different companies have been able to use Peepso. The value of community sites opposed to Facebook groups.

Today I have Parviz Parvizi, one of the founders of Clammr on the show. After meeting in law school, Parviz and his co-founder David were both admitted 'slow readers' so they were always big audio users.  After completing college they both got blue chip jobs to pay down some of their school debt - one  in consulting and the other in banking.  Parviz and David always knew they wanted to work together so they were always throwing around ideas, and many of these ideas were shared via audio.  During this process, they both became frustrated with how clunky it was to share that 'golden nugget' in an audio file with each other.  From that challenge came the idea and creation of this amazing tool called Clammr! And you know what -  it's totally FREE! Questions I Asked Parviz: What is Clammr? Tell us the thought process behind redirecting the audio snippet to a link and what is the value in it? If you were launching new podcast today, how would you use Clammr to drive traffic? What is the value in using this amazing tool on Social Media?

Shane Melaugh - Co-Founder Thrive Themes Shane is a half swiss - half irish guy who built is own business a few years ago. Shane says the nice way of describing himself is that he is self-taught, but the more realistic way of describing himself is that he made a million mistakes to acheive the success he realizes today. His latest project is Thrive Themes. Thrive themes is a brand under which he creates conversion focused WordPress themes and plugins. The reason Thrive Themes was started is because Shane is a WordPress user himself and everything was designed focused. Shane comes from a conversion optimization background. Shane specializes in writing copy and creating the sales pages. Design won't sell a product. Thrive Themes takes a unique approach to optimizing your WordPress website with conversions in the forefront instead of design. The content builder was initially designed to be able to quickly build pages without having to know any special coding. He wanted the design to not only look good, but keep with his main goal to make sure it converts well. In the regular WordPress editor, it's very difficult to add "buttons" or other conversion centric applications. In order to create these elements, you will need to download plugins and taking the time to learn how to make these plugins work. If you are trying to build sales pages or funnels, it's very difficult to build these in the regular WordPress editor. This is a major pain point. It's too time consuming. The reason the content builder was developed was so that you didn't have to worry about any of this. The way the content builder works is the way everything you see in the builder is how it's represented on the live page. If you are looking at a page made with WordPress and you want to change a button, and you are using the WordPress editor, you have to log into the editor and find the code to edit it. The other main problem is that the editor doesn't look like the page when it's live so the user has to continually go back and forth between the pages to view the changes the user made. Click here to be redirected to the video from Shane explaining how to use the new WordPress plugin to build your mailing list faster than ever before! Shane Melaugh is Not a Programmer, He is a Marketer Shane specializes in marketing, not programming. So, he built Thrive Themes so that users don't have to have knowledge of the various WordPress development languages like php, html, css, etc. The signature of good marketing is understanding your audience. The simplest thing you can do to acheive "copywriting wizardry" is to talk with people and listen to how they talk about the problems they are facing. If you listen to the actual words they use, you can use these words in the copy that you've heard other people say. When multiple people continue mentioning the same thing over and over again, copy their language into your sales pages. Shane's explainer videos are very detailed and one of the best ways to learn about the plugins. Instead of just sharing what the solution can do, an explainer video outlines step by step processes to use the system. Shane says that he "just pays attention" to his customers. Many of the videos that Shane does incorporates the question or problem, and then he walks his viewers through the solution. He makes sure that he tells a story and each of his videos are used as chapters in a book. As you move through the video series, each video fits perfectly into the overall message. The call to action in almost every post Shane writes is to leave a comment. How to Make Your Offer Better In order to make your offer better is by making it more relevant. This is accomplished by including a specific offer that is specific to the topic of a video or post that a user has created. This makes it much easier to convert a visitor because if they spent the time reading the post or watching the video,

Shane shares his insights on why so much of success is about the grind, why authenticity is vital to communicating effectively with your audience and why business isn’t about money for him so much as it’s about creating something of value.

Podcast sponsored by: When it comes to podcasting I have a few personal rules after the basics are met (best audio quality and valuable content come first). We all know I'm a huge geek about the visual side of things so after having had my podcast for a while I knew I wanted to put a better looking player on my individual episodes than the default player from PowerPress (no offense to them, they pretty much keep everything going with their plugin, but the players are a little dull). Enter the Simple Podcast Press by Hani Mourra. Could it be more Awesome? :-) Yes, that's the fantastic player that you're looking at below the image in the post. What I love most about the Simple Podcast Press is that it's geared towards marketing with your podcast. It's not just a good looking player, it takes everything one step further by adding buttons, opt-ins and reviews on your site. What you might not know is that before launching Simple Podcast Press Hani created and released Simple Video Press (which I've also purchased but haven't gone through my site yet to swap out videos. I'll get to that later this summer, so stay tuned for videos on that as well). [tweet_box]"I love that feeling of solving problems." @hanimourra http://thewpchick.com/63[/tweet_box]   Questions I asked Hani: 1) What's your backstory? (What brought you to WordPress Plugin development) 2) What are your thoughts about the premium WordPress Plugin space? 3) What have been some of the challenges you faced when launching the plugin? 4) How did you decide to do a podcast plugin? 5) Do you have your own podcast? 6) What were some of the features that people wanted that surprised you? (for the plugin) We went a little sideways in our discussion about podcasting and what you can do with it (which I think you'll enjoy as well), which is one of the things I love most about these interviews (letting the conversation flow organically and see where it takes you). Hani also shared what his plans are for launching his upcoming podcast and why he wants to do an audio and video podcast (something I want to add to my podcast as well, may as well record the video at the same time, right? More on that front coming soon too). What You're Going to Learn 1) How to keep podcasting SIMPLE 2) Why you should focus on content 3) Why you still need PowerPress (by Blubrry) 4) The different ways you can pull your reviews into your site with Simple Podcast Press 5) How Hani's initial focus for the plugin was automation... then his customers dictated what they really wanted 6) How you can grow your subscriber list with the Simple Podcast Press [tweet_box]"I just listened to what people wanted and gave them that. You have to listen to your customers." @hanimourra http://thewpchick.com/63[/tweet_box] Where to connect with Hani Facebook | Twitter | Website   Links from this episode Simple Podcast Press Simple Video Press Other episodes you might enjoy Interview with Matt Medeiros of Conductor Interview with Aseem Badshah of Socedo Interview with Shane Melaugh of Thrive Themes

Let's take a quick stroll down memory lane for a minute, shall we? I remember a cold winter night in early 2014 where I was hanging out in my family room with my laptop, the fire roaring and a cozy blanket. I'm lazily going through Facebook when I come across a video for something called the Thrive Content Builder... and within about 30 seconds of watching the video I knew I had to have it. Since the very first time I installed and tried the Thrive Content Builder I have been in love with it. I've done a handful of videos on using the Thrive Content Builder for content, sales pages and the built-in landing pages. Yep, you read that correctly! You can create a funnel with the Content Builder: Optin page Download page Thank You page [tweet_box] We wanted to build WordPress themes that were built for businesses. - Shane Melaugh @ThriveThemes[/tweet_box] What You'll Learn In This Episode: [tweet_box] I wanted to remove the disconnect between the editing of the content and the content itself - Shane Melaugh @ThriveThemes[/tweet_box] Questions I asked Shane: Links from this episode Thrive Themes Thrive Content Builder Thrive Leads You may also like these posts & episodes: WordPress Visual Editor Thrive Content Builder Update & PDF Thrive Landing Pages

He decided to stop forcing it and left to create my own company He co-founded SECockpit with Sam Hänni. We took the product from zero to a 7 figure revenue mark in just 15 months. He created a product called Backlink Battleplan in 2010 that did over 2,000 sales and brought in over 6 figures revenue – this was my first real successful product in the internet marketing niche. He is founder of Thrive Themes, a company that produces conversion-focused WordPress themes.

Today, I’m excited to share with you the interview that Perrin and I did with Shane Melaugh of Thrive Themes. Shane is someone that has been involved in the internet marketing space for a number of years and has seen a lot of success.  In fact, he’s been entrepreneurial his entire life and by his own admission is probably “unemployable” at a traditional job. Not only has he found a way to bring money in the door, but he’s become very good at creating products and building great businesses.
