Description
In this episode of the Marketing Quacks podcast, I interview Mike Heroux (The Dividend Guy), a seasoned financial blogger and community builder. Mike shares his journey from blogging about personal finance to creating a successful membership community focused on dividend investing.
He discusses the importance of owning your audience, the challenges of community growth, and the strategies he employs to differentiate himself in a crowded market. Mike emphasizes the significance of transparency, avoiding burnout, and the value of starting small while building a community.
