Communities Made Simple

Is there REALLY a Difference?

Community, audience... whatever... it's all the same right?

​

Maybe not.

​

Before you grab your pitchforks...

​

Hear me out!

​

Give me a chance to explain myself.

​

Now, I'm not here to start a revolution, or anything... just maybe bring some new perspective to the conversation.

​

Now if you've been following me for a while, you might have heard me mention this before, but even still...

​

You'll want to tune in for the rest.

​

Community

What is a community?

​

A community is a group of people that share a common interest or trait.

​

A community is a group of people that you talk TO.

​

A community is generally a tighter knit group of people that honestly wants to authentically engage with your content.

​

Audience

An audience is a group of spectators... generally at an event.

​

An audience is a group of people you talk AT.

​

An audience is generally a broader group of people that prefers to digest your content and keep going on their way.

​

The REAL Difference?

So what's the REAL difference then?

​

The level of participation.

​

Yes, you can make sales to both... but you have to know the difference.

​

Knowing how your following chooses to interact with your content is the key to creating stuff that works for them.

​

You're still telling your story.

​

Just in a way that falls within their comfort zone.

Happy Holidays!

For those of you who have been following me on Threads for a while, you'll know that I've been working on a new guide.

​

Well, it's finally out!

​

A new guide within the Communities Made Simple series, as that's my real focus here, but that's beside the point.

​

I've got a fun little freebie to give you a tease of what's included in this new edition.

​

​

Thanks again for being here!

Get out there and build that community.

Don't worry about your follower count.

Focus on creating those relationships.

The rest will follow.
