Episode 5 – 7/02/2007
Guest: Lee Dodd, Internet Entrepreneur and Owner of the Earners Forum
Background: Community Builder, Entrepreneur
Total Time: 30 minutes
Lee Dodd is very well known in the web industry for being a successful community owner and has recently branched out into teaching!
Lee shares some tips on community building and gives us personal examples with which we can relate. One of Lee’s tips is to not monetize a community (or any website for that matter) until you reach at least 500 visits a day! I hadn’t really looked at things that way. Lee also talks about the elite retreat and who can benefit from attending such an event!
