Welcome back to another episode of "Accelerate Your Business Growth," where we explore the crucial elements of building and expanding your business. I'm your host, Diane Helbig, and today we're diving into the world of online communities with the expertise of Deb Schell.
In this episode, Deb unpacks the complexities of fostering a thriving online community, and reveals why not every business may need one. With the distinction between solving a problem and merely providing a service, Deb zeroes in on the critical role of a strategically formed core group and how beginning with a structured timeframe like a 90-day program can set you on the path to success.
We tackle the realities of member retention, building those vital connections, and the significance of empathy in both virtual and face-to-face environments. Get ready to learn how community building is an investment of time, effort, and money, and discover the tools and strategies you need to ensure your efforts are aligned with your business goals. Whether you're a new online community builder or looking to strengthen your existing groups, prepare to be equipped with the knowledge and insights necessary to create intentional and supportive communities for your business.
Deb Schell is a global entrepreneur, guiding 60+ businesses in online community building. She excels in discovery, strategy, and implementation, simplifying user and backend experiences. Deb's new book, Creator to Community Builder, is based on client case studies, community examples, and interviews; this book provides new community builders with stories, strategies, worksheets, templates, and checklists that help them take action to launch sooner.

The Challenges of Solo Entrepreneurship in Membership Models: "Most of the people that have these programs, they have a team of people, and they're not just one person doing it. And so a lot of times, I've really found that, you know, yeah, you can do it as a solo entrepreneur or as, like, an entrepreneur with a virtual assistant. But you need to have a different strategy and a different approach than somebody who has a team and who has a big budget."
