200+ Members, But Here's What I Was Missing

I had a great chat with Lidia on today's weekly live check-in call, and it helped me realise something I was completely overlooking.

A few of my biggest takeaways:

I'm now at 200+ members in my community from Meta ads (cold traffic), and I'm at the stage where the challenge isn't getting people into the community—it's learning how to nurture them and build trust.
One of the biggest pieces of feedback was to start creating more videos inside the community. I've been having conversations with members in DMs, but people haven't really had the chance to hear my voice, see me consistently, or get familiar with me. That familiarity is what builds trust.
It was also a great reminder that, especially in the early stages, we have to keep showing up. Even if it feels like it's mostly us posting and commenting, consistency is what lays the foundation for an engaged community over time.
We also spoke about introducing my first paid offer and taking more of a page-first approach—focusing on the outcome, promise, process, and marketing before building everything else.

My biggest takeaway...

Getting people into your community is only the first step. Learning how to nurture them is just as important.

People need the opportunity to get to know you, hear your voice, see you consistently, and build trust before they're ready to take the next step.

I also just wanted to say that Lidia's Community Income Mastermind has been incredible so far. I genuinely think there's value no matter what stage of business you're at—whether you're just starting out, still figuring things out, or already building momentum.

Having someone with more experience who can give honest feedback, challenge your thinking, and offer a different perspective has been incredibly valuable.

And as someone based in Australia, I really appreciate that these weekly live check-in calls are APAC-friendly. Being able to attend live instead of catching the replay makes a huge difference.

Thanks again, Lidia! Looking forward to putting this feedback into action. 😊
