Insight Out : Big Ideas for the Modern Entrepreneur
Business:Entrepreneurship
Have you ever wondered what sets apart a thriving community from a stagnant one on professional platforms like LinkedIn? What secret ingredients are necessary to turn a disparate group of individuals into a vibrant paid community? In today's digital age, the concept of building exclusive communities on social media platforms has skyrocketed in popularity. LinkedIn, in particular, has emerged as a powerful space where professionals can connect, share knowledge, and unlock new opportunities. However, not every attempt at creating a paid community on LinkedIn succeeds. The real question is, what does it truly take to build a successful paid community on a platform like LinkedIn?
In today’s episode of the Insight Out podcast, I have the pleasure of sitting down with John Espirian. John is a content marketing expert and Espresso+ community founder on LinkedIn who specializes in helping small businesses and solopreneurs thrive online without resorting to ads or cringe-worthy sales tactics. With a commitment to genuine connections, he guides clients to build effective and authentic presences on LinkedIn and the web.
In our conversation, we dive deep into John's journey of building a paid community and the ethos that has been the cornerstone of his success: being"relentlessly helpful," and the challenges faced along the way. John shares insights on pricing, member engagement, and the importance of aligning the community with his personal brand values. He also talks about the operational aspects of managing the community, the significance of transparency, and the balance between private and public content. The episode highlights the importance of genuine engagement, listening to community feedback, and the strategic approach to building a successful personal brand and community.
In this episode, you will learn the following:
