2. Want to sell more stuff? Create a community for your customers
Your product is only worth as much as people are willing to pay for it – and one of the best ways to convince people to pay more is by creating a community.
A community for your customers can be the selling point that turns a $50 on-demand course into a premium experience sold for $1k-$5k.
But what exactly is a community? It’s a bundle of different elements and in this Twitter thread, Wes Kao listed them.
Use them to build your community. Or, at least, try to introduce some of them to your brand, product, and communication.
A community isn’t just a Facebook group – but it can be if you’re doing the right things. Let’s dive into some of the most important elements of a community:
- Companionship: Loneliness is a struggle for many people. And a group of understanding people is an antidote to loneliness.
- Affiliation and prestige: Not only do customers want to be part of a community to feel understood, but they also want to stand out from the masses. T-shirts and accessories are a simple way to do this, but think about what it might look like for your brand.
- Weird in the same way: How much do you like to nerd out about Facebook Ads, copywriting, media buying, and everything in between with your circle? How weird would it be if on a first date you started talking about that dropshipping product that was converting at $2 CPA? There probably won’t be a second date…
- Exclusivity: In other words, status and power. Customers like to feel included in an exclusive community, and this is a huge selling point for high-ticket courses online.
- Shared purpose: Customers want to join people that have your same mission, be it political, religious, or a mere business purpose.
- Shared contexts, vocabulary, and assumptions. This ties into all of the other points – we all love talking with a like-minded group of people, and a course community can help us do just that.
These are our favorite elements that Wes Kao listed. As she suggests, try to introduce one of these in your product, course, or experience until you find out what sparks a response.
