an introduction to online spaces and communities for the community curious
a community based business is for you
if you are interested in transformative learning journeys and longer term partnerships that will elevate your brand and business.
if you offer
cohort based courses; group supervision; downloadable resources; self guided elearning; purchasable content; products that people need a little guidance on now and then
or
if you want to
amplify the buzz around brands with people who care; create an engaging, exclusive space where your most loyal audience members can be better looked after; connect with industry peers in well designed online hangouts; chat and connect with people you trust
then
well designed online communities and spaces can elevate your business by taking you
from
