New to Community Building?
Here are some resources to get you started.
You’re not alone if you feel defeated as you build an online community. Most new community builders have big ideas but need help to launch them.
Tech options are overwhelming, approaching your audience takes courage, and scaling a business takes time. Meanwhile, you may be missing out on income you could earn by launching faster, growing sooner, and creating transformation for your members.
Hi, I’m Deb Schell. I started my community to solve a problem I once had. (Sound familiar?) For me, that problem was the anxiety and frustration I experienced when I launched my first community . . . to the silence of crickets. It felt like a failure.
Now, I consult with purpose-driven community builders. We find calm in building, launching, and growing their online communities.
But my clients aren’t just here to turn a quick buck. They have a solution their people need and are committed to making a real difference in their lives. Bringing these leaders together is my mission, which evolved from my 20-year career as a writer, creator, and designer.
At Find Calm Here, we work with small business owners, community leaders, organizations, and non-profits who want to bring their clients, customers, or prospects together inside an online community.
Many clients I work with have a purpose-driven community concept and aim to provide value to these members with content, peer-to-peer support, resources, and the ability to share experiences that benefit the organization while empowering the members to share how their lives have benefited from the content, programs, or education within the online community.
Here are a few articles to check out, and I will list more resources below. Let’s chat and get to know each other so I can help you find calm while building an online community.
