In this video, I'll dive into a few case studies to show some of our clients and how they are leveraging technology to grow their online communities in 2023.
First, I'd like to tell you about my friend Pedro Adeo.
Pedro is a top tier entrepreneur over the last few years, gone from being an obscurity to being the number one in his industry in both kingdom entrepreneurship.
And also he's now become known as the challenge guy.
When we started, Pedro's online communities had grown so fast that they were just leveraging all kinds of tech.
They were leveraging Vimeo and Facebook groups, Zoom and WordPress to try to deliver and fulfill on all of their content.
So what we did was we came in and we centralized all of his content into one cohesive space.
We crafted custom apps to help encapsulate his unique communities and his offerings.
We ensured that his tech stack was future proof, meaning that all of his content, videos and his community were all under a tech stack that he owned 100%.
About two years ago, we started working with another organization called God Behind Bars.
God Behind Bars is a faith based ministry that is currently serving inmates in prisons throughout the U.S.
And when I say serving, they're serving over 300,000 inmates monthly.
Previously, they had gone the traditional route and they had hired a development team to build out a custom app.
They'd spent well over six figures invested into this app.
And when I came to help them out and just ensure that they were set up for success, I wanted to make sure that they own their source code, that they own their the app and they had access to kind of the IP of their app.
Turns out they didn't own any of those things.
And so we set out to build them a new app that was 100% custom owned by them.
Today, they're using their platform to reach over 380,000 inmates each month through their custom app.
They are in complete control of their tech stack and the future of their organization.
Not only that, but they were able to save a tremendous amount on their monthly bandwidth just by bringing the ownership under their own organization.
If you're a visionary leading a large online community, this video is for you.
Let's reflect for a moment.
As your community has grown, has your tech stack become more simple or has it just spiraled into chaos?
Growth often ushers in complexity.
It's just part of scaling your business.
The bigger your reach, the more technology might seem like an obstacle.
Maybe you've even caught yourself daydreaming about those early days where it was just you, a curated email list and that trusty Zoom link.
Ah, the simplicity.
So tell me if this sounds like you.
Maybe you're managing several customer databases and platforms and syncing data between all of these different platforms is just an endless black hole of Zapier Zaps.
Maybe your content is scattered and you're lacking that one central hub where all of your content and videos can live.
Maybe you even thought about going all in and investing in your own custom app.
Or maybe you're just uncertain about the future.
What would happen if you added another zero to the size of your community?
Would your current tools handle it?
Now, this may not be for you if your video content is already super organized and accessible or your community is already buzzing with engagement.
Or maybe you already have a custom branded app that's already in the App Store or in the Google Play Store.
Lastly, this may not be for you if you already own 100% of your tech stack.
Meaning that if the tools and the companies you're working with to build your online community were to disappear tomorrow, that your content and your community is 100% protected.
For over a decade, I've helped founders just like you navigate these challenges and harness the power of software and automation to scale their organizations.
Tribe Social is not just another platform.
We are on a mission to help liberate you as the founder from being held hostage by rented and free platforms.
So how do we do that?
First, we ensure that you are in full ownership of your tech stack.
Meaning you can say goodbye to all those dependencies and your tech stack is completely under your control.
Next, we consolidate all of your content into one centralized location that is on this new tech stack.
Next, we add customization and we tailor fit the application to best fit your online community.
Lastly, we future-proof your platform by making sure that it's fully decentralized.
This means that you won't be reliant on us or any other tech provider in the future.
Think of our team as the best of both worlds.
We have the efficiency and reliability of a great SaaS business, but we're also combining it with the personal touch of an agency.
If we're meeting for the first time, I'm Bruce Van Zael and I'm the co-founder of Tribe Social.
Since 2010, I've been helping founders just like you leverage technology to help scale their organization.
In early 2020, our team began to build Tribe.
We wanted to build a platform that would incorporate an awesome community aspect,
but also at the same time, give you a fantastic content delivery platform.
Just three years ago, our team set out to build a new type of platform.
We wanted an engaging community component, but at the same time, a fantastic way to deliver content.
In the last pieces, we wanted it to be something that the creators and the founders actually owned 100%
and that they were in full control of their movement's destiny.
Tribe Social is built for founders by founders.
There's a couple things that make...
Tribe different.
First, it's your brand and it's your app.
Envision a tailor-made app
that's echoing your movement's unique identity.
Next, we'll do all the content migration for you.
We'll help move all your videos,
all your content into one centralized hub.
Lastly, we'll be with you every step of the way
as you launch your new platform.
We'll ensure that your members are seamlessly migrated
and get quick access
and can start engaging in your community.
Here are a couple of the cool features that we offer Tribe.
You may be wondering what this actually looks like
and how does it work.
Well, let me just show you a couple of the features
that we're very proud of at Tribe.
First, your platform will come
with a fast ad-free video player
to eliminate all kinds of distractions for your users.
Next, you'll own your own live streaming broadcast tool.
With our live streaming broadcast feature,
you can stream whatever content you need to
to your audience.
You won't be subject to those copyright notices
or have your content limited
because of what you're streaming.
You're in full control.
You'll have an easy to use content dashboard
where you can upload and manage all of the content
across all of your communities and groups.
You can also create branded push notifications
for your community.
It's always surprising that people will spend
hundreds or thousands of dollars
to get access to a community
and then not show up for the live calls.
And you can email them and send text messages all you want,
but they just may not show up.
Branded push notifications are a fantastic way
to provide real-time updates to your community.
Tribe Social offers a distraction-free learning experience.
Your community will be able to access your platform
on either the iOS app or the Android app.
Your platform will also be accessible to desktop users
via the website on your custom domain.
Tribe Social sounds like a good fit for your community.
