instagram community

Social media communities are a group of people who all share a common interest around a particular subject matter, actions, places, goals, or attitudes. It's basically a group of people who engage and interact with your brand but also know, like, and trust you so it's easier to sell to these people.

There are many benefits to creating a community on social media and in today's podcast I share with you what these are and the following topics:

• Definition of community on social media
• The 4 most common types of communities on social media

The whole is greater than its parts. Very wise, indeed. As more and more people find the beauty of collaboration, we might be asking ourselves, is it worth it?

In this episode, I share ways that collaboration can help your business. Listen up and enjoy!

Key takeaways from this episode:

1. It is good for your portfolio.

• No matter what your product or service is, it will give an idea of what you offer and what you can do. 
• It gives you opportunities to stretch your creativity.
• Your portfolio should be something that you want to do in order for you to benefit.

2. Good exposure to new audiences.

           Who you collaborate with may have different audiences from your regular followers, so it will allow you both to be exposed to diverse audiences.

3. Save Money.

           You can split the cost up with those with who you collaborate with.

Is community just a fad? Is there a purpose for your squad? Or can this mean a lot for your brand?

In this episode, let’s talk about community and what it means for your business. Let’s also unpack some expectations versus reality and how we can align this to optimize our existing and soon-to-be-growing community.

KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE

Expectation: I want someone to help me with my struggles.

Reality: You end up helping people more by sharing your struggles.

Expectation: Having a community is pointless. I don’t need it.

Reality: There are so many positives of having a community for your brand and business.

• Community is a feeling of fellowship with others as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals.
• By admitting that you have struggles, it helps you be stronger. Someone can help you if they went through the same struggles.
• Go in with the right mindset, that you will help others as well. What you learn, you might teach somebody else as well.
• Whenever you’re telling your brand’s story, you want to build up a community.
• No matter where you’re at in your business or no matter what industry you are in, you got to have a sense of community.
• Community is building a relationship with like-minded people.
• Don’t be a one-trick pony.
