Podcast appearances and mentions of sandra de freitas

I've heard a lot of summit hosts say they're skipping communities entirely because "engagement is dead." But what if the solution isn't removing communities—it's knowing how to make them thrive? In this episode, I'm chatting with membership expert Sandra De Freitas about how she created one of the most vibrant summit communities I've ever experienced. She shares her "dinner party" approach to community building, simple games that drive engagement, and her three-part framework for posts that communicate, engage, and convert. Whether you're using Facebook groups or another platform, you'll discover practical strategies to build a summit community that attendees, speakers, and sponsors all love to participate in.

In this episode, I talk with Magda Therrien, knitting extraordinaire and founder of MagdaMakes.com Magda started knitting as a kid using a couple of sticks and some yarn. Her love of knitting has grown over the years and she now has a course and membership that encourages others to develop a passion for knitting. Magda has participated in a number of Progress Pods in a couple of different courses and memberships, and we chat about the encouragement to keep making progress that she has received from connecting regularly with other entrepreneurs. You'll also hear about how Magda is using the Next Tiny Step Method to develop an Action-Oriented Mindset that also helps her to overcome the overwhelm, not just in her business but in other areas of her life. Using the Next Tiny Step Method to develop an Action Oriented Mindset has the potential to make a massive difference in your life and in the lives of those you lead.

Have you heard some people saying that Facebook Groups are "dead"? Maybe you (or people you know) haven't had the best success with FB groups, or have noticed that engagement is lower than it might have been when groups first came out. Today, we are joined by Sandra De Freitas, who says that Facebook Groups are here to stay, and remain very profitable. The benefits of a FB group are numerous: high retention, more engagement, and an easy and fun way to provide support to your clients for a great client experience. Tune in to hear tidbits such as: What you actually need for your FB group to be successful (and no, it's not 500-1000 people), When is the best time for you to start your FB group, How to decide if you should burn down your existing, low-engagement group OR keep and re-engage it, How to properly run ads to your group, and Whether you should consider hiring a community manager (and when is the right time to do so). About Sandra: Sandra De Freitas is a community expert who helps entrepreneurs grow, engage and monetize their Facebook Groups. She has had her hands in over 500 Facebook Groups, been part of 6 and 7 figure launches, and been an online entrepreneur for 16 years!
