Her community is growing and her online yoga courses have generated tens of thousands of dollars in revenue.<\/strong> In fact, one course launch generated $70k during her two week launch period.<\/p>\n

She’s now sailing around the Caribbean with her husband and enjoying the ultimate financial and location-dependent freedom that teaching online offers.<\/p>\n

Allie shares her inspiring journey with us all below.<\/p>\n

1. Tell us about you Allie!<\/h3>\n

Hi,\u00a0I\u2019m Allie, an online yoga teacher and inspirational leader. I\u2019ve had the opportunity to teach thousands of people how to start and\u00a0sustain a\u00a0yoga practice from their home, through articles,\u00a0online classes, programs, and in-person retreats.<\/p>\n

I was a former corporate marketing girl who taught yoga in-studio for a couple of years. One day I realized that studio gigs would never get me out of the cubicle – which was the goal!<\/p>\n

So, I took my yoga\u00a0teaching online and four years later, I\u2019m the CEO of a thriving online yoga community – The\u00a0Journey Junkie<\/a> – and now\u00a0cubicle free.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

My online yoga community now supports a life of full-time travel. It inspired my\u00a0husband and\u00a0I to leave it all behind, buy a sailboat, and live an alternative lifestyle. Right now, we live in the\u00a0Caribbean and have BIG DREAMS of circumnavigating the whole world!<\/p>\n

2. How did you make the transition from full-time work to working on your yoga business full time?<\/h3>\n

I showed up for what I\u00a0believed in every single day. That happened before work, at lunch, in-between work\u00a0meetings, after work, and on the weekends.<\/p>\n

I chose my budding business many times over socializing, especially when\u00a0transitioning\u00a0from a pure blog post format to weekly yoga videos. It was a BIG risk, but worth the investment!<\/p>\n

3. What impact has your blog had on your yoga business?<\/h3>\n

The blog is my business. Without my blog and the free content that I create and share, there would be no flourishing yoga business.\u00a0I\u00a0think of it as the headquarters for all things The Journey Junkie. You can read my story, join a free yoga program, practice yoga\u00a0online, or dive into the hundreds of blog posts. It\u2019s my baby!<\/p>\n

4. What role has free content played in growing your community?<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s\u00a0the\u00a0foundation for my\u00a0platform. And it helped me grow my blog into a business, as well as gain a loyal, supportive following on YouTube.<\/p>\n

I\u00a0am on the precipice of changing the abundance of free content that I share. But when starting out teaching yoga online, you can\u2019t skip this important step. It\u2019s taken me four years to build what I have and I\u2019m now just now\u00a0envisioning a new path.<\/p>\n

5. Tell us how you’ve gone about growing your email list and how crucial has it been to the success of your business?<\/h3>\n

Email is king, this is what I say to everyone who asks me about starting teaching yoga online.<\/p>\n

I urge people to stop chasing social media and pour their efforts in creating content. Quality content that people will sign up for (social media will come naturally as a side effect).<\/em><\/p>\n

My email list is my paycheck. Without it, I have no one to sell my products to or invite on retreats.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To grow it, I use a handful of methods:<\/p>\n
