Recording: Community Builders’ Fireside Chat

Today I’m sharing a Recording: Community Builders’ Fireside Chat with the  Swarm community Founder Gavin Hammar. The platform is a video-centric community-driven driven that guarantees higher engagement than anywhere else.

In early February, I had a fireside chat with Gavin. I answered lots of common community building challenge questions. 

I hope that this helps you as you consider building, launching, and growing an online community. 🙂

Key Takeaways from the Chat:

Avoiding Launch Pitfalls: Learn why launching multiple initiatives at once can backfire. Discover how phasing your community plans leads to sustainable growth.

Designing a Strong Community Framework: Understand the benefits of structured programs. Initiatives such as a 30-day challenge or a 90-day cohort lead to higher engagement and commitment.
