Entry 008: Community Is Hard to Hold Up
I've been having some hard conversations with clients lately. Good hard, but hard. They're all circling (no pun intended) the same question: what is community actually worth? And one client's little sentence, "I wouldn't pay that much for that," has been sitting with me all week, because I've seen it everywhere. I've felt it myself.
In this entry:
ā¢ The client whose members keep voting yes with their wallets, while the founder hesitates
ā¢ Why community value is so hard to point at (you can't screenshot belonging)
ā¢ The real consulting work: helping founders see what their members already see
ā¢ Something to noodle on: what does your community make possible that members couldn't get anywhere else?
The Diary of a Community Builder is a daily, behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to build and run a membership community and a community-led business. Real entries about community building on Circle, membership pricing, the value of connection, and the honest, in-between moments of growing an online business, without the highlight reel.
Want to take it one step further? The Diary lives inside coCreator Society too. Each day's question drops in the community, you leave your own entries, and we support one another while we build our community-based businesses, together, out loud.
