Build a Thriving Community
without feeling lost, overwhelmed, or alone
-
Starting a community is different than the other aspects of my business and it's incredible to be around other entrepreneurs that are pursuing this path. To have a "Hive" of members that you can go to for support has been invaluable and beyond helpful in my journey!

It’s hard to scale a community by yourself
Building a revenue-generating online community is weirdly lonely. You put so much time and energy into supporting members, but no one’s supporting you.
Wouldn’t it be amazing if you had…
Someone to turn to for advice when you’re stuck?
Honest conversations about what’s working and not working for other community builders?
People who would support you when you’re frustrated and celebrate when you’re excited?
Regular opportunities to ask questions of community growth experts
A place to learn about and discuss proven models for monetization and growth?
Welcome to The Hive – a community for community builders.
Strategically grow your community in a sustainable way that feels good
As an ambitious professional, you want to scale your community into a predictable source of recurring monthly revenue.
As a thoughtful human, you want to create a supportive space your members love.
The Hive is designed to help you do both. It’s created with the experience community strategist Laura Zug has used to help founders like you grow their offerings in a calm, stress-free, and profitable way.
“It’s always a bit nerve racking to put your heart and soul out there, but with a community as supportive as this, it feels like anything is possible.”
The Hive is a space where community founders support one another as they build and scale profitable communities
The Hive Mind
Each member’s unique experience and point of view contributes to the hive mind – so you can replace slow learning through trial and error with learning from the collective experience of others on your path.
No more sifting through Google searches of conflicting advice - when you have a question or hit a roadblock, you can work through it with the help of an expert community strategist.
Get support and learning on our weekly live calls featuring a mix of guest experts, group coaching, and co-working sessions.
Want a workshop about social media marketing? Or a tutorial on setting up platform automations? Hive members can suggest their own topics for special events.
And through it all, The Hive is a true community. You’ll have opportunities to meet and message with other ambitious community founders as you share your journey.
I joined The Hive to feel seen by other community leaders. We all know what it takes to build a fruitful and impactful community (it takes dedication and effort!). I looove to hear what other members are experiencing and it re-affirms that I’m not insane with my own questions! So grateful to be here!

Is The Hive Right for You?
The Hive is a warm and welcoming place to be – but it’s not right for everybody. People who join before they’re ready may find themselves lost.
Here’s how you know if it’s time:
The Hive is for community creators who:
Have launched or are ready to launch their community
Want to build a thriving community that can help support their business
Want to grow and scale their revenue in a strategic, sustainable way
The Hive is NOT for community creators who:
Are just getting started and don’t yet have the pieces of their community in place
Aren’t sure of their goals for the community other than being a place to hang out
Are uncomfortable investing in their community at this time
If you’re not yet ready, that’s OK! The Hive will be here when you are.
If you’re just getting started, Laura’s Community Foundations program would be a better fit for you. That will get you off on the right foot and ready for a successful launch.
Take the guesswork out of scaling your community
There is a right path to building your community into the thriving, supportive, profitable space it could be. But if you’re trying to find that path alone, you’re probably encountering a lot of frustration:
❌ Taking courses and reading general information with no real advice on how to apply what you learn
❌ Doing everything “right” and still watching your membership and engagement numbers dwindling
❌ Throwing random, disconnected tactics at the wall in hopes of finding something that sticks
You don’t have to go it alone. With the help of others on your path you could:
✔️ Free yourself of your “research junkie” title with access to a curated collection of proven models and techniques
✔️ Brainstorm causes and solutions to the specific challenges you encounter
✔️ Benefit from the hive mind – the collected knowledge and experiences of other community builders as they share what did and didn’t work
Here’s a quick list of everything The Hive has to offer.
💡 Advice from an expert community strategist
💡 Live calls with experts in the community building space
💡 Tested and proven templates and frameworks
