Building a 20k Member No-Code Community - Joshua Tiernan, 7x Founder (4 Sold Businesses)

Joshua Tiernan (Founder of No Code Founders, Tiny Empires and Chief Growth Officer Network) is a no-code development expert who’s built and sold 4 companies. He joins Mikael Dia to discuss..

A no-code business is hard to define. Most of these businesses fall under the SaaS category, and are typically built using platforms such as Webflow and Bubble which don’t require the level of technical expertise needed to build software from scratch. It can also be used to describe communities, newsletters and blogs that aren’t attached as part of an individual businesses marketing strategy, but instead exist as independent beings.

Before discovering no-code, Joshua had tried to launch a few businesses, all of which didn’t succeed. With time he learned how to hack together different software tools to craft new solutions, which is a type of no-code development. Bubble was a real gamechanger, allowing him to build his first business that was acquired only 6 months later.

Joshua’s community has been active for 5 years and has gathered over 20,000 members. He hasn’t been intentional about marketing, but that being said he’s been consistent on organic social media channels. His first few thousand members found out about the community through Joshua interviewing other community members. He then started partnering with no-code platforms that helped spread awareness and started building out user generated content, which spread the word even quicker and got them to the 20,000 mark.
