Hey Matt! Thanks for taking the time to record that video man. I 100% agree with you I put a price tag so that people wouldn’t join because this is like my 1st week of actually thinking about building out a community and I’m a bit of a perfectionist and since there is nothing there yet. I didn’t want people to join and see nothing. I’ve been absorbing content and trying to figure out what I’m even doing lol. I think I’ll eventually start a free community and just try to provide free content for a while and get some community members. Kind of like a build in public thing. I’m having a, what did ChatGPT call it, a creative explosion of ideas. So I have an ai community idea, coaching, Spanish language, ghl community, etc… I have been working on gaining some clarity about , like you said, that one thing that really fires me up that I can stick with forever. I’m also weighing that with a niche that is not super saturated. I’m leaning towards coaching and educating about ai for business owners who know nothing about it. It’s hard to think about what I know that other people don’t because it’s so easy for me that I feel like everyone knows it. That it’s not valuable. Sorry for the book! lol Let me know if there is anything I can help you with as well!

Hey everyone, I’m Rachel — thanks to Matt for the warm welcome! 👋 When I think about what a “win” looks like for me in being here, it goes deeper than just numbers or growing a group for the sake of it. 👉 My main goal is to learn how to build an engaged and supportive community from the ground up. That means: - Creating real conversations instead of just posts that sit there. - Learning effective onboarding so new members feel connected right away. - Finding ways to keep people active and engaged, even when life gets busy. - Building a space where members feel like they belong and are seen, not just “in a group.” I’d also love to pick up strategies around: ✅ Sparking interaction ✅ Keeping momentum going ✅ Creating value that members actually want to come back for At the same time, I want to give back where I can. I’ve had some experience creating smaller groups around things like farming, digital products, and supporting people who learn differently. What I’ve noticed is that no matter the niche, people stay when they feel: 💬 Heard 🤝 Connected 🌱 Like they’re growing I’m excited to share what I’ve learned so far, hear what’s worked (or hasn’t worked) for you all, and hopefully grow together as community builders. So let me throw a question back to you all: 👉 What’s one thing you’ve seen that really makes a community feel alive? Can’t wait to hear your thoughts! 🚀
