The Backstory...

I’ve been building community since I started Scraptalk way back in 1999 in the pre-social media days and have continued my community focus over the years including helping Social Media Examiner build their community for the world’s largest social media conference, Social Media Marketing World as the Networking Coordinator. (one year my team ran 19 different Facebook groups). Now I am serving as the Community Manager for Agorapulse, an international SaaS software company that has an awesome social media scheduling tool.

For the past year or two I’ve been getting private messages from people who have reached out with questions like “Can you help me get my community more engaged?” or “Should I use Facebook groups or something else?”

It's not uncommon for me to get tagged in groups when questions about building community come up. I was one of the first 500 people in the world to become a Facebook Certified Community Manager and am also a Facebook Power Admin. I have even been hired by very successful membership owners and clients to run their communities.

The more questions I got like this, the more my wheels began turning. I started to envision a place where I could not only help people learn to build communities to support their businesses, memberships and courses, but also take their existing communities and memberships to the next level.

I could create a place where I shared actionable tips to create group engagement. Even a place to share creative resources and events that would add "WOW" to my member's communities.

One HUGE issue I've found over the years is so many people have specific questions surrounding community building, yet it's hard to find answers or people who even understand your struggles.

My favorite aspect of Community Builders' Paradise will be our regular Office Hours where you get to bring any questions and we'll chat about them. I LOVE business brainstorming and consider it one of my main superpowers!  Clients pay me over $200 per hour to brainstorm and find creative, out-of-the-box solutions for them so you’ll get a ton of value out of these Office Hours. The price of the membership is worth this alone...remember I've got over 25+ years of marketing experience and can't wait to chat with you!

It’s still raw. But you see the potential right? Are you getting excited? I am...

I’m looking for some amazing people to join me on this first cycle as I create this! You’ll get to jump in on the ground level as I build out Community Builders’ Paradise! I’ve got a Trello board packed with tons of ideas and know lots of people I can bring into the membership as guest speakers to share how they WOW their communities.

I'm looking forward to kicking things off and guiding you as we dig deeper and get to know the needs of your community. We'll do some massive brainstorming with my Dream Big+Map It program. Then, if you haven't built your community you'll build and launch it. Your fellow "Crew" will be right there cheering you on! For those of you who have an existing community, you'll start looking for areas to upgrade! We'll continue monthly adding the "WOW." This monthly focus will give you the opportunity to evaluate the ideas, pinpoint what you love, customize them to fit your community, and implement your favorite aspects! Your members will love that you are upgrading your community!

If you join now, you’ll get the opportunity to influence where we are headed. As a Founding Member, I'll be looking to you to provide your ideas, feedback, and suggestions.

Currently, this idea is very rough around the edges. It’s definitely not perfect (yet) and there are many things I still need to work out. But, the vision is there and this is where my marketing skills kick in...I have all the resources in place to create my vision! I just need you...

I’d love to extend an early invitation to you! I want you to be part of this…

I invite you to become a Founding Member. One of the big benefits of joining now is that you get in at the lowest price this is ever going to be. And you’ll be locked in at this price for as long as you stay a member in good standing. PLUS, you’ll be able to shape the membership as it grows by giving your ideas and insights as we build this together.
