Hey Trendsters. In honor of my upcoming course on Maven, I'd love to help my community while refining my teaching. If you've been considering launching a community or have a current community that needs a little TLC, jump in and get to work. We will cover all aspects of a pre-launch community plan, including: -Choosing a community model to serve as your strategic starting point, tying it directly to your business goals. -Designing a community and social identity to attract your ideal members and more importantly, keep the wrong people out. -Creating member pathways and breaking down participation cycles to understand how to move members up the commitment curve. - Choosing a platform that serves your unique community model. Don't fall in love with features you don't need.
