Carol TiceCommunity builder with broadcast experience-Carol TiceLooking for an experienced podcast guest who’s an online-business pioneer? I’m a seasoned online entrepreneur with over a decade of experience building and growing paid digital communities. My radio experience includes creating programming at KPFK Los Angeles. I also ran a weekly podcast for my community for over a decade, and am an experienced podcast guest. I give good ‘ear!’My new platform is Community Growth Academy on Skool, where I’m teaching the paid community model to other coaches, consultants and experts looking to create more reliable income and impact more lives with less marketing. (I know, a community about paid community is meta.) CGA provides an opportunity for aspiring community founders to learn this business model the right way–with a step by step course developed by a community-building pro and with peer support. Founded in late ‘24, CGA is coming out of beta mode with some members already launching. One member’s community is already earning six figures annually. The idea for CGA came from my past experience in online business. After struggling to earn with my Make a Living Writing blog and as a writing coach, I founded the Freelance Writers Den community back in 2011. The Den grew to over 1,500 paying members, earning nearly $6 million over the life of the business. In 2021, I sold the Den for life-changing money. My paid community experience grew from my background as an award-winning business journalist who has authored/co-authored 2 traditional print business books on business startup and entrepreneurship. While running the Den, I wrote over a dozen e-books for members, including The Recession-Proof Freelancer. Forbes and Entrepreneur are among my magazine bylines. I’m based in Seattle but travel frequently with my husband in our RV while supporting my CGA members. Let’s talk! Hosted on Acast.
