Tired of building a “community” that turns into a ghost town?
In this episode of The Marketing Woman Podcast, I sat down with Matthew Carnevale, Head of Community at Exit Five, to break down what it really takes to build a high-impact B2B or creator-led community — and why most of them fail.
We cover:
- The difference between an audience and a real community
- Why most communities go silent after launch
- How to increase engagement (even with small groups)
- Monetization strategies: free, paid, hybrid — what works?
- The biggest red flags that signal it’s time to pivot
- How to scale without losing your OG members
Whether you're a startup founder, B2B marketer, or just trying to create a space people actually want to be part of — this one’s packed with actionable insights.
