In this episode, we discuss:
7:17 Discovering Mighty Networks for community-building that is unique and customized for the “member only” app, ability to create a special place for members to get all the value in one location to build the know, like, and trust factor, not just locally but globally
11:11 Global connection during the challenging year and the first year launching a Mighty Network features best for individual communities that can be customized for sharing content from a variety of sources, a realistic time-frame for building a Mighty Network “soft launch” beta testing with a few members for feedback and to identify questions or problems before
15:35 Creating a unique onboarding process so that the member feels welcomed and leverage the benefits of the community so that they use the tools available to them and “User-centric” focus for creating an amazing member onboarding experience
17:44 Getting your members to connect with each other by highlighting members and promoting co-collaboration for networking and members’ ability that they can help each other
19:42 Creating a “free” Mighty Network vs. a “paid” Mighty Network and the benefits from charging membership fees to hold members accountable to be a part of the process of building and growing the network
31:35 Members joined networks for different reasons when creating a networking space, creating benefits for a variety of needs to support members wherever they are and whatever they need in their journey to building a business
39:35 Mighty Network features, talking about the importance of events and how that allows members to connect via Zoom, and the desired feature Carol mentions is to offer LIVE video, and a workaround for now until this feature is LIVE is Loom to create short videos for the community that can be used as check-in or for sharing tools and tutorials
