Community building is a central part of growing a sustainable business, especially in the early stages of starting a business or when you’re still using organic growth methods. 

Building an online community using social media is very similar to dating in some ways, especially if you’re an introvert. While we would like to just sit back and wait for someone to notice us and our business, more often than not, you’re gonna have to put yourself out there and be proactive about the process. 

So how do you build and manage a community without spending all your time scrolling on social media or stressing about being canceled? 

In this episode of the podcast, I talk about: 

• Our community first approach that builds your social media presence
• How to remove the “desperate” energy when engaging with others
• The subtle mistake business owners make when managing positive comments 
• Protecting your mental health when you get negative comments 
• The number one advice for managing your community with a team

…and more!
