One of the strongest and most powerful ways to create support for your business is to grow a community around it.

In the last episode Sarah & Brian discussed how having a pre-existing community of people who engaged with her business was essential to helping Sarah rebuild her accounts when she got hacked.

But having a community around a business does so much more than just that. For remote businesses building that sense of community can create a stronger connection and greater likelihood of buying.

Sarah explains how she created her community and all the extra benefits she gained from.

Todays guest is Jenn Donovan. She is a wife, mother, lawyer, owner of a homewares store and creator of Buy From A Bush Business, an online community with hundreds of thousands of members. Buy From A Bush Business was created to help regional businesses struggling through drought and she has managed to do that and more.

Jenn explains how to build a community and why micro-influencers are so important for small businesses.
