FL 151 – We help Kristin create a sustainable, growing online membership community for her coaching site

How do you start an engaging online membership community where people come and stay month-after-month? That's what we're going to be analyzing with you and Kristin today. Joining us on today's show is a Private Mastermind participant and fellow educator, Kristin Houser. Kristin is currently working and researching as an Elementary School Instructional Coach. She has been in the education scene for about 13 years now, 7 years as a Classroom Teacher and 6 years as an Instructional Coach. She specializes in helping teachers maximize their potential and enable them to improve their way of teaching. During her transition from classroom teacher to instructional coach, she had been searching for content and possibly a community, where she could get the extra boost that could help her in her own coaching journey. Having found little information online, she decided to create a place to provide a solid resource for other coaches that she had wished to have while she was just starting out. Kristin wants to take her 6 years old blog a step and a leap further. More than just making some stable and recurring income, she wants to create a place where these professionals can get together and have a community. It's going to be a super action-packed day, AND it's also going to be a lot of fun. Don't miss it!
