We have been focusing on enterprise accounts but have found the buying process to be very long and slow...so slow that we're running out of money. Our plan is to pivot our market to SMB to try and close faster. Curious to learn how others here got their first SMB customers.

My biggest takeaway is that Failure is a Redirection. My first Print on Demand store was a big mess and a complete failure. But instead of giving up, I tried looking up Digital Marketing on the whole, back in 2021. That's what helped me pivot towards Copywriting and Content Writing 6 months later. Today, I'm happy I make money as a Writer online. If I had given up after my first startup's failure, I would've just gone back to my boring, miserable life of studying to participate in the rat race.

I m Rosie Sherry and I ve been building communities for quite some time! I m here to answer anything and everything I can about community building. Here are some of the things I ve done: - I started back in 2006 with a local Girl Geek Dinner Meetup - I founded Ministry of Testing, an indie, 7 figure revenue and profitable community of practice for software testers. I handed this community over for someone else to run (I did not sell it). - I led the community at Indie Hackers for a couple of years - I started Indiependent, a small community for indie founders where people get kicked for inactivity - I ve been writing about community at Rosieland (covering community growth, flywheels, Minimum Viable Communities, Community Discovery, and much more!) - I breathe, eat, sleep community Ask me anything about community, I can cover things like: - Tools to use, or not - Community on a budget - Community as a business - Minimum Viable Communities - Community Discovery - Community Growth & Flywheels - Building a sustainable community - Community trends - Why so many people are getting community wrong! I'll be answering questions on the 7th of September!
