📈 A few people have asked how I've been growing my community organically, so I thought I'd share what's worked for me. The truth? It's not one big strategy. It's a bunch of small, intentional things that work together over time. Here's what I do... 🤝 I participate in summits, bundles, podcasts, and collaborations where I know my ideal audience is already hanging out. 📧 Every freebie, product, and offer I create includes an invitation to join my free community—usually on the thank you page, in the welcome email, or inside the resource itself. 🎤 Whenever I speak at a summit, I invite people to join my community if they'd like more support after the event. It's free, it's helpful, and it's a natural next step. 💜 My community has also become the natural "next step" during and after my events. For my last summit, the community was featured as a sponsor, so attendees saw it throughout the event and always knew where they could continue the conversation afterward. 📱 I regularly share my community with my email list and on Facebook (my social platform of choice). 🌟 I spend time in a handful of communities where I genuinely believe my people are hanging out. Not dozens... just a few. And here's the thing... Finding the right communities takes time. It's trial and error. Some are a great fit. Some aren't. Sometimes life gets busy and I disappear for a few weeks... and that's okay too. I simply come back when I have more time. For me, community growth has never been about one viral post. It's been about consistently showing up, building relationships, and making it easy for people to stay connected after they discover me. 💬 I'd love to know... What's one thing you've done that's helped grow your community organically?

I have realised that one of the biggest opportunities I have been overlooking is proactively capturing the wins happening inside my community. A member recently shared some of the breakthroughs she was experiencing through my 28-day LinkedIn Visibility Challenge, so I invited her to join me for an interview. We recorded the conversation yesterday, and I was genuinely blown away by what had already happened. She had: ✨ Reconnected with 11 people in her network ✨ Received a discovery call request ✨ Upgraded her LinkedIn profile ✨ Created a lead magnet for her coaching programme ✨ Started seeing LinkedIn as a community, rather than simply another platform We ended up having a brilliant 45-minute conversation, which I can now edit and share on YouTube so others can hear about the experience directly from a member. Then, this morning, I woke up to a generous LinkedIn post from her sharing how valuable the challenge had been and the breakthroughs she had experienced. It was such an encouraging reminder that sometimes we are so busy delivering, supporting and moving on to the next task that we do not pause long enough to document the transformation already happening. I will definitely be more intentional about inviting members to share their stories and celebrating their progress. How are you currently capturing the wins happening inside your programmes, services or communities? Chelena 🖤
