00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.800
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.

2
00:00:07.800 --> 00:00:10.280
First, I'd like to tell you about my friend Pedro Adeo.

3
00:00:10.280 --> 00:00:19.240
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.

4
00:00:19.240 --> 00:00:22.000
And also he's now become known as the challenge guy.

5
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:27.800
When we started, Pedro's online communities had grown so fast that they were just leveraging all kinds of tech.

6
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:34.640
They were leveraging Vimeo and Facebook groups, Zoom and WordPress to try to deliver and fulfill on all of their content.

7
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:40.000
So what we did was we came in and we centralized all of his content into one cohesive space.

8
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:44.960
We crafted custom apps to help encapsulate his unique communities and his offerings.

9
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:54.240
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%.

10
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:58.560
About two years ago, we started working with another organization called God Behind Bars.

11
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:04.720
God Behind Bars is a faith based ministry that is currently serving inmates in prisons throughout the U.S.

12
00:01:04.720 --> 00:01:08.760
And when I say serving, they're serving over 300,000 inmates monthly.

13
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:14.840
Previously, they had gone the traditional route and they had hired a development team to build out a custom app.

14
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:18.240
They'd spent well over six figures invested into this app.

15
00:01:18.240 --> 00:01:29.280
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.

16
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:31.520
Turns out they didn't own any of those things.

17
00:01:31.520 --> 00:01:36.560
And so we set out to build them a new app that was 100% custom owned by them.

18
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:43.000
Today, they're using their platform to reach over 380,000 inmates each month through their custom app.

19
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:46.800
They are in complete control of their tech stack and the future of their organization.

20
00:01:46.800 --> 00:01:53.960
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.

21
00:01:53.960 --> 00:01:58.200
If you're a visionary leading a large online community, this video is for you.

22
00:01:58.200 --> 00:01:59.320
Let's reflect for a moment.

23
00:01:59.320 --> 00:02:05.080
As your community has grown, has your tech stack become more simple or has it just spiraled into chaos?

24
00:02:05.080 --> 00:02:07.720
Growth often ushers in complexity.

25
00:02:07.720 --> 00:02:09.919
It's just part of scaling your business.

26
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:14.080
The bigger your reach, the more technology might seem like an obstacle.

27
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:20.920
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.

28
00:02:20.920 --> 00:02:22.240
Ah, the simplicity.

29
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:23.800
So tell me if this sounds like you.

30
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:32.800
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.

31
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:38.920
Maybe your content is scattered and you're lacking that one central hub where all of your content and videos can live.

32
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:44.400
Maybe you even thought about going all in and investing in your own custom app.

33
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:46.560
Or maybe you're just uncertain about the future.

34
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:50.200
What would happen if you added another zero to the size of your community?

35
00:02:50.200 --> 00:02:51.800
Would your current tools handle it?

36
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:59.760
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.

37
00:02:59.760 --> 00:03:04.600
Or maybe you already have a custom branded app that's already in the App Store or in the Google Play Store.

38
00:03:04.600 --> 00:03:09.720
Lastly, this may not be for you if you already own 100% of your tech stack.

39
00:03:09.720 --> 00:03:19.040
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.

40
00:03:19.040 --> 00:03:27.720
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.

41
00:03:27.720 --> 00:03:30.080
Tribe Social is not just another platform.

42
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:36.200
We are on a mission to help liberate you as the founder from being held hostage by rented and free platforms.

43
00:03:36.200 --> 00:03:37.160
So how do we do that?

44
00:03:37.160 --> 00:03:40.440
First, we ensure that you are in full ownership of your tech stack.

45
00:03:40.440 --> 00:03:45.800
Meaning you can say goodbye to all those dependencies and your tech stack is completely under your control.

46
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:51.760
Next, we consolidate all of your content into one centralized location that is on this new tech stack.

47
00:03:51.760 --> 00:03:57.440
Next, we add customization and we tailor fit the application to best fit your online community.

48
00:03:57.480 --> 00:04:02.160
Lastly, we future-proof your platform by making sure that it's fully decentralized.

49
00:04:02.160 --> 00:04:06.440
This means that you won't be reliant on us or any other tech provider in the future.

50
00:04:06.440 --> 00:04:08.400
Think of our team as the best of both worlds.

51
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:14.640
We have the efficiency and reliability of a great SaaS business, but we're also combining it with the personal touch of an agency.

52
00:04:14.640 --> 00:04:18.880
If we're meeting for the first time, I'm Bruce Van Zael and I'm the co-founder of Tribe Social.

53
00:04:18.880 --> 00:04:24.960
Since 2010, I've been helping founders just like you leverage technology to help scale their organization.

54
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:28.160
In early 2020, our team began to build Tribe.

55
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:32.560
We wanted to build a platform that would incorporate an awesome community aspect,

56
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:36.960
but also at the same time, give you a fantastic content delivery platform.

57
00:04:36.960 --> 00:04:40.560
Just three years ago, our team set out to build a new type of platform.

58
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:46.520
We wanted an engaging community component, but at the same time, a fantastic way to deliver content.

59
00:04:46.520 --> 00:04:52.480
In the last pieces, we wanted it to be something that the creators and the founders actually owned 100%

60
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:55.920
and that they were in full control of their movement's destiny.

61
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:58.800
Tribe Social is built for founders by founders.

62
00:04:58.800 --> 00:04:59.920
There's a couple things that make...

63
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:00.940
Tribe different.

64
00:05:00.940 --> 00:05:03.380
First, it's your brand and it's your app.

65
00:05:03.380 --> 00:05:05.020
Envision a tailor-made app

66
00:05:05.020 --> 00:05:07.860
that's echoing your movement's unique identity.

67
00:05:07.860 --> 00:05:10.500
Next, we'll do all the content migration for you.

68
00:05:10.500 --> 00:05:12.180
We'll help move all your videos,

69
00:05:12.180 --> 00:05:15.060
all your content into one centralized hub.

70
00:05:15.060 --> 00:05:17.300
Lastly, we'll be with you every step of the way

71
00:05:17.300 --> 00:05:19.020
as you launch your new platform.

72
00:05:19.020 --> 00:05:21.500
We'll ensure that your members are seamlessly migrated

73
00:05:21.500 --> 00:05:22.660
and get quick access

74
00:05:22.660 --> 00:05:24.540
and can start engaging in your community.

75
00:05:24.540 --> 00:05:26.900
Here are a couple of the cool features that we offer Tribe.

76
00:05:26.900 --> 00:05:28.700
You may be wondering what this actually looks like

77
00:05:28.700 --> 00:05:29.620
and how does it work.

78
00:05:29.620 --> 00:05:31.620
Well, let me just show you a couple of the features

79
00:05:31.620 --> 00:05:33.300
that we're very proud of at Tribe.

80
00:05:33.300 --> 00:05:34.660
First, your platform will come

81
00:05:34.660 --> 00:05:36.860
with a fast ad-free video player

82
00:05:36.860 --> 00:05:39.700
to eliminate all kinds of distractions for your users.

83
00:05:39.700 --> 00:05:43.380
Next, you'll own your own live streaming broadcast tool.

84
00:05:43.380 --> 00:05:45.340
With our live streaming broadcast feature,

85
00:05:45.340 --> 00:05:47.580
you can stream whatever content you need to

86
00:05:47.580 --> 00:05:48.460
to your audience.

87
00:05:48.460 --> 00:05:51.020
You won't be subject to those copyright notices

88
00:05:51.020 --> 00:05:52.580
or have your content limited

89
00:05:52.580 --> 00:05:54.060
because of what you're streaming.

90
00:05:54.060 --> 00:05:54.980
You're in full control.

91
00:05:54.980 --> 00:05:57.140
You'll have an easy to use content dashboard

92
00:05:57.140 --> 00:05:59.740
where you can upload and manage all of the content

93
00:05:59.740 --> 00:06:01.700
across all of your communities and groups.

94
00:06:01.700 --> 00:06:04.140
You can also create branded push notifications

95
00:06:04.140 --> 00:06:05.460
for your community.

96
00:06:05.460 --> 00:06:07.380
It's always surprising that people will spend

97
00:06:07.380 --> 00:06:08.860
hundreds or thousands of dollars

98
00:06:08.860 --> 00:06:10.500
to get access to a community

99
00:06:10.500 --> 00:06:12.820
and then not show up for the live calls.

100
00:06:12.820 --> 00:06:16.220
And you can email them and send text messages all you want,

101
00:06:16.220 --> 00:06:17.460
but they just may not show up.

102
00:06:17.460 --> 00:06:20.020
Branded push notifications are a fantastic way

103
00:06:20.020 --> 00:06:22.820
to provide real-time updates to your community.

104
00:06:22.820 --> 00:06:26.200
Tribe Social offers a distraction-free learning experience.

105
00:06:26.200 --> 00:06:28.680
Your community will be able to access your platform

106
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:31.720
on either the iOS app or the Android app.

107
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:34.640
Your platform will also be accessible to desktop users

108
00:06:34.640 --> 00:06:36.920
via the website on your custom domain.

109
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:39.480
Tribe Social sounds like a good fit for your community.

110
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:40.360
I'd love to chat.

111
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:41.400
If you're ready for change

112
00:06:41.400 --> 00:06:43.960
and you wanna truly own your entire tech stack

113
00:06:43.960 --> 00:06:45.960
and set your movement up for the future,

114
00:06:45.960 --> 00:06:46.880
I would love to chat.

115
00:06:46.880 --> 00:06:49.200
Let's set up a time we can chat founder to founder,

116
00:06:49.200 --> 00:06:51.280
and I'd love to understand the unique challenges

117
00:06:51.280 --> 00:06:53.900
and help you explore if Tribe Social's a good fit

118
00:06:53.900 --> 00:06:54.920
for your community.

119
00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:57.600
Hit the link below and schedule a free strategy session.

120
00:06:57.600 --> 00:06:59.140
On this call, I'd love to dive in

121
00:06:59.140 --> 00:07:00.920
and learn exactly what you're trying to do

122
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:03.400
with your movement and what are some of the unique challenges

123
00:07:03.400 --> 00:07:04.520
that you're running into.

124
00:07:04.520 --> 00:07:06.880
Hopefully, I can offer some advice and insight

125
00:07:06.880 --> 00:07:08.440
on how to set you up for the future.

126
00:07:08.440 --> 00:07:10.240
Let's pioneer this journey together.
