Facebook is just dead.   But here's the thing, Facebook IS working! It's not Facebook groups that are the problem, but the approach many of us take when participating in them. The key to making Facebook groups work for you lies in shifting from a transactional mindset to a relationship-focused one.   This episode dives into using the relationship focus approach to create real, meaningful connections online. You'll gain insights and actionable steps to help you overcome the challenges of Facebook groups, and start building genuine connections that will pay off in big ways for your business!     “Back to Community” Facebook Group: http://www.fb.com/groups/backtocommunity “Meta Myths” by Ben Thompson of Stratechery:  https://stratechery.com/2022/meta-myths/ Want to know the ONE move that could change your business trajectory?

As an entrepreneur, you struggle with finding ways to stand out and create meaningful connections. But what if there's a missing piece in your puzzle, one that could create a ripple effect of growth for both your business and the individuals involved? The answer lies in the power of community building.   Building a community is about building a network of individuals who share common values and goals, and who are invested in the success of your business. A strong community does more than give you money. It also provides valuable feedback, support, and brand advocacy insights that can help you improve your services over time.    This episode covers what a community actually is and the foundations for building a strong one. I share strategies for attracting the right community members, how to engage with them so that you retain them, and even how to turn your community into clients, brand advocates, and into opportunities for your business.    I know through personal experience that community is EVERYTHING! Whether you're just starting out or you have an already established business, building a community should be a top priority!   “Back to Community” Facebook Group: http://www.fb.com/groups/backtocommunity   Want to know the ONE move that could change your business trajectory?

Connection matters more now than ever before. There’s no doubt that social connections are vital to business growth. However, the challenges in creating these connections are at an all-time high. Consumers are being more discerning when it comes to choosing who they work with.    In this episode, we dive into the art, science, and habit of connection by discussing the crucial factors that foster deep connections and how they directly impact your bottom line.   A true connection (meaning a connection where your audience feels seen, heard and understood) is what strengthens trust. And trust is what allows someone to feel more confident to not only hire you, but to ultimately place their business in your hands.    Tune in to learn how to build trust and long-lasting relationships which will lead to increased loyalty, advocacy, and ultimately higher revenue for your business!   “Back to Community” Elevating Business Success Launch Team: https://ritamademedoit.com/launch   Want to know the ONE move that could change your business trajectory?  Take my free quiz – and then take action! http://ritamademedoit.com/quiz   Connect with me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/ritagoodroe  Connect with me on LinkedIn:  http://www.linkedin.com/in/ritagoodroe
