Listen "323: How to Create a Hobby Niche Training Based Membership Site with Steady Lead Flow"
Episode Synopsis
Louisiana fisherman and angler expert Devin Denman joins us on this episode of the LMScast podcast where we discuss how he turned his craft of fishing into an online course site where he teaches others about Louisiana inshore fishing. Devin also has a YouTube channel he uses for lead generation and sharing his passion.
Devin’s journey began when he was a kid in the early 90s watching TV and he saw a Mercedes commercial where at the end they promoted their website mercedesbenz.com. Devin told his dad they needed to get a computer, and with that exposure to the World Wide Web the seed was planted that would eventually have him building online courses and teaching others the same way he learned as a kid online.
In junior high school Devin was always connected to the internet in some way, shape, or form. He joined the Marine Corps straight out of high school. He turned 18-years-old in boot camp, he turned 21 on his second deployment to Iraq, and after he got out of the Marine Corps, he went to work for the State Department as a personal security specialist. After 7 years in that position, he discovered he really wanted to try entrepreneurialism and liked the idea of the challenge of creating his own business.
As Devin tried to monetize his fish blog, he worked with selling t-shirts and hated that. He thought about writing a book, but didn’t think it made sense, so he ultimately decided to create an online course. Devin’s value proposition was basically that you can hire a fishing guide for $600-$800 for an eight-hour trip, or for $100 Devin can teach you everything you need to know for inshore fishing.
Devin also shares some tips for how he grew his YouTube channel around Louisiana inshore fishing and what has gone into his YouTube content over the past 3 years, along with how that’s helped his online course business. LAFB Elite is Devin’s membership package where you can access all his courses around inshore fishing.
