It’s one of the greatest mysteries of online marketing: how do some online marketers build huge thriving tribes inside their business? You know, the kind of tribe that is well connected, that support each other; the kind of tribe where members are raving fans of the host and will buy what they offer; the kind of tribe where the tribe feels totally connected with their people.

In this episode of The Breakthrough Year Podcast, special guest Crystal Honeycutt shares her secret to mastering the tribe-building super power that has made her an absolute (and authentic hit) with her community. And not that numbers are all that (as we will discuss in this episode), Crystal does have over 40 thousand Instagram followers and over 7,000 people in her FB Group - so she’s a pro at building a tribe around her brand!

Perhaps the biggest takeaway of this episode is that relationships are key in building a thriving tribe. And to create real, authentic relationships you have to move slow. You have to put the person before the number and get to know them on a personal level - and you can’t rush that! Just like you wouldn’t rush a new friendship at a party.

But most of all, Crystal shares that when it comes to building your tribe and looking at your numbers, the most important thing is that you are grateful for the numbers you have! Remember that behind that number are real, living, breathing people! Show up with the same energy regardless of your follower number and always be thankful for the wonderful souls that have chosen to spend time with you!
