What makes a community flourish? How do we build vibrant, supportive online communities? Can brands and organizations facilitate authentic connection through community?
If you’ve ever found yourself asking these questions, you’re in the right place. The Community Experience was designed to explore all things community and to help community facilitators design online communities that thrive, whether yours is a niche community based on fandom, or tied to a personal brand or business. Each week, join host Jillian Benbow to learn practical strategies and insights from people on the cutting edge of community building, as well as a peek behind the curtain into the inner workings of our own branded online community, SPI Pro.
We believe that community-driven content and commerce is changing the landscape of work and life. Through unbridled curiosity, we believe we can help the world increase the impact potential of online communities. Join us for the ride and embrace the experience! New episodes drop every Tuesday, wherever you listen to podcasts.
#002 Our guest today is none other than the mastermind behind SPI himself, Pat Flynn! But Pat's on the show to talk about something kind of unusual today ... his Pokemon card-collecting YouTube channel.
What started out as a hobby for Pat turned into an experiment: building a YouTube channel and community completely from scratch. A lot of the strategies and mindsets Pat carried into his new YouTube channel are similar to the approach that helped him stake a claim in the online business world back in 2008. Those strategies are as relevant as ever. At the time of this recording, Deep Pocket Monster was approaching 50,000 subscribers on YouTube, and that's within the first six months! If you want to learn some practical approaches for breaking into a niche community or building a successful community through YouTube, this is the episode for you.
