Running a community sounds cute until you’re drowning in DMs, sorting through post approvals, and trying to keep up with a million notifications. It’s giving “tied to your phone” vibes and that is not what you signed up for.
But what if you could actually enjoy your community without feeling like you’re living in the comments section? That’s where I come in.
What Community Management Actually Looks Like
Look, I’m not talking about sprinkling a couple of “Thanks for your comment!” replies and calling it a day. Real community management means your space runs smoothly, stays poppin’, and you’re not stuck playing admin every five seconds!
Here’s what we can take off your plate:
Scheduling and Moderation: Your content is lined up, posts are approved, and spam? Not on my watch.
Real Engagement: No copy-paste responses. I’m talking actual conversations that keep people coming back.
Member Management: Approving requests, answering questions, keeping it organized so you’re not in the weeds.
Event Support: Got a live? A webinar? A challenge? I’m your right hand, making sure it goes down without a hitch.
DMs and Inbox: You don’t need to scroll through a thousand messages. I handle it, flag the important stuff, and keep it moving.
Basically, you get to show up for the fun stuff and we handle the chaos. Your community stays thriving, your notifications stay quiet, and you get your time back.
Our Client’s Words, Not Mine
One of our clients said it better than I ever could:
“Tara is going to take a huge weight off of your shoulders. She’s proactive, communicative, professional and so easy to work with. She has taken several small tasks off of my plate and they have added up to hours back in my work week and way less stress. I no longer feel like a solopreneur because I have Tara’s support and willingness to jump in at a moment's notice. I feel she genuinely cares about my business and wants to see me succeed.”
Look, you didn’t build this community to be glued to your phone. I step in so you can step back.
