This week on the podcast I am joined by Allison Rissell. Allison is a yoga teacher and the founder of the Yoga Teacher Conf. This episode originally aired on MBOm: Behind the Scenes, and we are talking about how to cultivate community online! When the pandemic hit, Allison was forced to transition all of her events online and so she has learned a ton about how to cultivate a thriving online community and she is sharing her top tips with you today!
Enjoy!

In this episode:
We have to be good listeners to cultivate community online Listen, ask questions, and start a dialogue from audience responses A great way to get people to engage is to ask them questions about themselves (like where they went on vacation last or what’s their favorite color) When you ask a question, wait 6 seconds for a response! Someone will usually respond and kick off the discussion! Just because someone isn't engaging back with you in the online space doesn't mean they aren't watching and listening You don't need a massive following to have a successful, engaged community or a successful businessGuest Links:
