Walk the talk

We’ve distilled the best practices and know-how we’ve learned from

our years of experience in a single, easy-to-follow course.

Each module is designed to be short and to the point, so you can quickly

and easily get the information you need.

You are in a Laboratory and you are already building!

What is this Laboratory?

A clear action plan

Each lesson ends with specific next steps you need to work on

A test environment

But what isn’t?

A consultancy gig

We are not building your community. This task is up to you!

A community

While you can learn from other participants, the goal is to grow your community

A magic formula

No 2 communities are the same. So there is no standard blueprint to follow

A waste of energy

To respect your time, we compressed the know-how into just a couple of hours

FAQ

Do I need to work full-time on my community?

Yes. Starting and running a true community is a full-time job. However, it is doable to have a part-time person working while getting it off the ground.

Will a community help my business?

When done right, communities can bring a suite of benefits to your business. By doing the laboratory work you will discover if you should be on the path of building a true community or just employing the benefits of having an audience.

How long does it take for a community to bring a return on investment for my business?

Success doesn’t come overnight and this is also true for communities. On average, it takes 3-6 months to get a community off the ground and a couple more to grow it. The benefits will start to come along the way, but only if you properly employ the Measuring & Reporting know-how.

Is the laboratory suited for those not looking to build a community around a business or a brand?

Yes. The process outlined within the laboratory can be used to start any type of community (such as around a hobby or for an NGO).

Does the laboratory come with lifetime access?

Yes.
