It’s been just over a week since we launched Hello Social Co. It’s been a fun-filled, crazy week with ups and downs — but way more ups.
When I (Ellen) was thinking about starting my own business, I relied on a lot of online communities for inspiration. Facebook groups became, not only a great resource for online growth, but meeting other like-minded individuals.
Here are some of my favorite online communities:
This one’s a no-brainer. Being Boss is not only a fabulous podcast for creative entrepreneurs, but its online community on Facebook is also a great resource for new business owners.
According to its bio, The Gram Gang is an ongoing Instagram Challenge built upon the core values of Community, Creativity + Creating Better Visual Content.
It’s been an awesome resource as we try to build our own brand online, and has given us some great inspiration for future clients!
For you femtrepreneurs out there, Anna Runyan of Classy Career Girl offers a great online group for new business owners. It’s a great place to meet other female business owners, find inspiration and learn how to overcome business challenges.
This group was most encouraging during Hello Social Co.’s launch, with a whole group of entrepreneurs that were just as excited as we were to hit the ground running.
The community members at Heart Centered Biz Bosses believe that being intentional is essential to being a happy entrepreneur.
From its bio: This group was created for kick ass millennial entrepreneurs, freelancers, creatives, and general do-what-you-wanters who are committed to finding REAL happiness in their careers and lives.
Millennial Go-Getters isn’t just for the ladies, either — there’s a ton of young, creative entrepreneurs in there.
A Facebook group for entrepreneurs IS in the future for Hello Social Co., where we’ll share social media strategy tips, inspirational posts and more. If you want to be the first to know about the group’s launch, be sure to sign up for email updates:
