#Community #growthhacks no 2 Make Community a Dedicated Department in Your Company If you are still a start-up, it may not make sense to have an entire department running your online community. However, when you scale up, so should your community efforts, adding more members to the community team with specific skill sets and job functions.

Gina's (Gina Bianchini's) framework of “Focus on people in transition” is so powerful that I wrote an article on it. This is such a mindbending concept for me that this article essentially wrote itself. I’ve been building communities for ~5 years and this made me rethink every community strategy i thought i had honed. It's the golden rule that can answer ALL community struggles. Because people who join paid communities, buy online courses, and participate in challenges have ONE thing in common. They’re in a transition. They need support, accountability, and motivation from others on the same path. Once you start thinking like this, you will find solution to all your community problems: • How do i find my first 10 seed members? • What should i put on my landing page? • Nobody’s chatting in my community. How do i grow engagement? • How do i reduce churn? • How can i market my community membership? All of these questions and more can be answered by essentially honing in on this one question: “Am I helping a small niche of people going through a difficult transition?” I discuss how, in this lesson that i just added to Beginner Maps (free crash course). Link in comments --- While we’re on the subject, i’m also excited to announce that Gina is a confirmed guest on the Beginner Maps pod next month to share her frameworks on building a $1M communities and the evolution of Mighty Networks! 🔥 Stay tuned.
