Today especially, building communities is so important. It's the future of business in my opinion - niche communities with a founder or leader that supports them, and then in turn a community who supports that creator and their work. This clip from the Traffic and Conversion Summit in San Diego (2021) shares a number of stories, strategies and tips you can use to build a thriving community under your brand. It's not enough to just show up, you have to create a space that a person can belong to, because that's all we really want as humans - to belong.

This is the only video I found that explained throughly how to start a community. Not beating around the bush. Thanks so much and good work !
I stopped overthinking and started being real. This made my posts feel way more human — and people noticed.
Great tips here, Pat! I've been amazed at how much my audience members have been willing to open up and share their personal experiences with me in the comments section of my videos when asked very specific engagement questions. Getting to know my community members on this deep and personal level not only allows me to create content that best serves their needs, but creates a strong sense of connection that leads to a deep sense of satisfaction in my work.
This video is a fantastic reminder that building a community is about creating a space where people feel valued, heard, and excited to contribute. I'm inspired to focus on genuine connection and user-generated content to foster that sense of belonging.
I started using your community prompts and my comments section finally feels alive.
More than a decade of incredible content. Thank you Pat!
Having an engaged community is good for your brand.

Love the Lego example. User generated content is a win win. Customers get interaction with the brand and brand gets content.
I felt a stronger connection with Cadburys chocolate after I visited their Cadburys world head quarters in Birmingham UK Amazing chocolate - nothing comes close and add the backstory to it and you have a friend for life
This video brilliantly highlights how turning fans into active contributors is the key to a thriving community, fostering loyalty and genuine connection. The Lego example is a masterclass in collaborative creation that others should be taking notes on.
Fantastic video! It's clear that building a community isn't just about followers, but about empowering passionate creators, as perfectly illustrated by the Lego example. I'm inspired to foster more co-creation opportunities within my own audience.
Awesome. Love this so much. Just launched my podcast last week … took your PUP Bootcamp last September. Golden. Thank you.
This so much a goldmine, notebook is full. Thanks pat.
Thank you!
I have the software to host your own "skool" community platform
This video is pure gold! Focusing on genuine interaction and highlighting community contributions seems like the best way to foster long-term loyalty and turn members into true brand advocates. The Lego example really brought that to life.
The Lego example really hit home – a community is a living, breathing entity that thrives on participation and shared creation. This video gave me some tangible strategies to start fostering that collaborative spirit.
