Hey Reader,

Time…the albatross for every business owner.

We want to get so much done, but we can’t ever seem to find the time to do it all.

Time, money, and energy are all fixed resources that have to be invested wisely.

Which is why any time I find a shortcut, template or hack to getting things done faster or more efficiently, I shout it from the rooftops.

It’s also why I created the 2024 Community Content Calendar. I never assume you have more time than I do to work on your business. If you’re reading this, you likely have less.

So I created 365 days of posting prompts designed to increase conversations and results in your online communities. To date, I’ve sold about 40.

But right now, until Sept. 30, you can get the 2024 Community Content Calendar FOR FREE — along with things like plug-n-play Canva graphics, sales success guides, landing and sales page templates, digital organization systems, and more.

We’re talking:

✅ Templates — email, graphics, copy, pages and/or products

✅ Automations - think hot lead follow-ups, member retention, etc.

✅ Mindset support to help people get better results, with less wasted time

✅ Prompts - AI, social/email, community engagement, etc

✅ Code snippets and tutorials for use in MemberVault (the course platform I use)

And so much more in the Save Time, Sell More bundle.

All you have to do is …

1. ​Head to the Save Time, Sell More website​

TONIGHT: Using Analytics in Your Community

The live workshop series in The Secret to Thriving Online Communities is one of my favorites in a long time.

So far, we’ve covered paying for group growth and building a strong moderator team.

Tonight, I’m talking data, specifically how to use analytics for community growth. Depending on the platform you use, you can get a lot of data on your community’s activity. But the value of that information varies according to your goals and community size. Most pre-submitted questions have been specific to Facebook but if you’re using a different platform, make that clear when you add your questions to the list.​

I’ll be live at 5 p.m. Pacific (same time every week). If you like planning ahead, here’s what we have scheduled for the rest of the month:

• Sept. 23 — Developing a Crisis Communication Plan for Your Community​
• Sept. 30 — Leveraging Your Community to Support New Initiatives​

Each workshop is packed with practical tips you can apply right away to strengthen and grow your community. Don’t miss out — RSVP using the links above to stay ahead of the curve.

Community Updates

• The anniversary of 9/11 reminded me why community matters. Though I would not want to experience that level of tragedy again, I do long for the unity that came of it.
• We’ve welcomed Katie Kelly, Kim Stanley, Laura Way, Alison Sahl and Jaime Armstrong into the Secret to Thriving Online Communities this past week. And 68 subscribers have joined us from ConvertKit’s Creator Network in the same span of time. Forgive me for not listing them each by name. 😎
• The Shameless Self-Promotion post is back! Please, head to STTOC and tell us all about what you’re up to lately. Remember to drop a link or two (no more) so we can check it out for ourselves.

Keep thriving,

Tonya
