Create a Thriving, Profitable Online Community for Your Course, Membership, or Coaching Program
Are you tired of spending all day every day in your community?
Are you feeling the tension between managing your community and marketing your business?
Do you have a community manager that is constantly looking to you for guidance?
Do you feel like your team is reacting to your community instead of leading it?
You’ve been focused on growing the business and getting people into your programs.
You haven’t taken the time to think strategically about your online community.
Your community manager (if you have one) isn’t taking initiative and proactively working to create a thriving community.
Things were fine when the community was smaller, but as it begins to scale, more people is only amplifying the problems in your community.
You’re feeling overwhelmed, not excited whenever you get another notification.
Maybe you’ve even hired people to try and provide relief, but it’s only added to the stress as they’re constantly looking to you for guidance.
If you’re still doing this all yourself, you’re probably feeling the tension of trying to maintain the community while bringing more and more people into the program.
It’s no surprise that the community you very much wanted to create is now dragging you and your team down.
There’s never been training on how to not just manage, but cultivate a thriving community for your online course, membership, or group program.
My name is Shana and I know the challenges you face when trying to grow and manage your online community.
Why?
Because for the last 10+ years I’ve been helping national brands and the world’s leading online entrepreneurs create and cultivate thriving online communities. (Plus I’ve started and led many online and in-person communities of my own).
Everything from trying to navigate the day-to-day of community management and handling the inevitable conflict that arises to developing proven strategies that activate community members and keep them engaged for longer.
And don’t get me started on the struggle to manage a growing community of thousands while trying to invest time in audience and list building… or a launch… it’s a LOT. It’s no wonder that even the most skilled entrepreneurs and online business owners are feeling an immense sense of overwhelm.
it all starts with community
I’ve been researching and speaking about online communities since 2008. My background in marketing and passion for community led me to not only lead my own communities online, but to share my strategies with thousands of business owners.
I’ve worked hand-in-hand with the 7 & 8 figure online entrepreneurs you know and love – taking their communities from surviving to thriving while empowering their teams to think proactively and leverage proven systems.
My decade of research and boots on the ground experience led to the development of my Community Cultivated™ Framework.
In the past, I’ve taught this framework and training during a 2-day in-person workshop. Some of the top names in the online course, membership, and coaching space have invested $10000+ to send their teams to this workshop.
My clients invest tens of thousands more for me to work with them one-on-one to implement what I’m going to be sharing with you in this program.
I’ve curated my best and highest impact community strategies, systems, frameworks, and tactics into this program.
