Starting Your Own eCampus or Social Networking Community

In today’s infopreneurial business, premium content is most profitably vended to an international audience without barriers of time or geography. Today’s learning management and social networking community systems provide the perfect solution to this problem and give you, the head teacher or community leader a perfect platform for your message.

One possibility is your own online “eCampus” that collates all your tutorials and intellectual property in one place. Our own Energy Coach Institute is a great example of an eCampus leveraged to the max.

Another wildly popular style of IP leverage is a social media community where your brand is allowed to shape a wide variety of consumer experiences using text, audio, video, chat, user profiles and friending and other options. Our ETHOS Method Community and Everyday Bliss Community are two examples of these.

Both eCampus/eLearning and Social Networking Community platforms can easily provide both a free “taste-test” membership option, as well as controlled, gated access for premium subscribers. You can market your free taster course or level of access and once you have those subscribers in the door, can then market your premium content to them. It’s an easy way to both get new emails on your list and demonstrate your value to these potential customers.

Marketing Your Services Without Pain

We know how helping professionals don’t like to market. We’ve been there! But marketing your new community or online eCampus can be made very, very simple. Any of these systems can, with an optional Social Media Strategy package, be configured to deploy a many-points viral notification system that broadcasts your marketing message far and wide, extending your outreach geometrically. Such viral messages do the advertising of your community for you in the most expedient manner, conserving your time, energy and resources for the all-important job of doing what you do best, be that teaching, coaching or helping others in your own special way.
