A well-maintained email database is essential for engaging your community. Email is your main tool for encouraging members to attend events, join online groups, and engage with your content. We’ll set up your email database to capture the right information, ensuring you can send targeted messages that drive participation and keep your community active.

They also help you identify community champions—those who will drive growth and sustain engagement over time.

Your community needs a central place to connect between virtual events—a space that's easy to access, cost-effective, and built for ongoing engagement. In this module, I’ll help you choose the right platform for your audience and goals, and walk you through setting it up in a way that attracts new members and supports long-term growth.

Growing a thriving Facebook group doesn’t require a big budget, but it does need consistent attention. I’ll teach you best practices for encouraging participation and maintaining a healthy environment, ensuring your community members stay engaged and keep coming back.

A Community for Students Learning English
Hal and Nick teach English to students from around the world through one-on-one lessons.
Their goal? To build a revenue-generating community where learners could practice English together and support one another between lessons.
They had a rough plan—but they needed help turning it into something real.
That’s when they joined the Community Launch Academy.
With access to step-by-step training, live coaching calls, and practical tools, they refined their vision, identified exactly what their members needed, and built a digital space designed to serve those needs.
Armed with clarity, structure, and accountability, they made rapid progress—and here’s what they said about the experience:
"We never would have launched our program without Seth. He gave us the exact tools we needed and showed us how to use them quickly and efficiently.”
“We highly recommend this program if you want to shorten your learning curve and learn from a seasoned professional who cares deeply about your success."
—Nick and Hal
"I'm already overwhelmed with content creation!"

"I tried building a community before and it didn’t work."
Chances are, you didn’t have the right framework, support, or accountability in place. The Academy is designed to help you succeed this time—with a clear roadmap, bi-weekly coaching, and a peer group that has your back.

Hi, I'm Seth Resler.
I help content creators, media professionals, and conference producers build real communities—not just attract eyeballs. With more than 30 years in broadcasting, podcasting, event production, and digital strategy, I’ve seen how the race to create more content often leads to burnout and diminishing returns. There’s a better way—and it starts with connection.
Over the years, I’ve built communities in all kinds of places: I created a dining group in Boston that brought food lovers together around surprise meals. I launched the nation’s first food tourism conference. I produced a talent competition for Detroit performers during the pandemic. I’ve even helped connect radio professionals with podcasters, musicians with industry leaders, and broadcasting students with mentors who helped them launch their careers.
Whether it’s an in-person gathering or a virtual event, the goal is the same: bring the right people together around a shared purpose. That’s what turns audiences into communities—and it’s what leads to real engagement, loyalty, and impact.
Today, I teach a repeatable blueprint that combines in-person events with digital tools to build sustainable communities. If you're ready to stop chasing attention and start building something meaningful, I’d love to help.
How My Community Building Approach Is Different
Most “community experts” are focused on teaching community managers how to run an online group that already exists. I specialize in helping organizations that are starting from the beginning.
I help you launch.
Even if you don’t have an online group, regular events, or any kind of ongoing connection with your audience, you’re in the right place. I’ll walk you through building all of that from the ground up or integrating it with your existing initiatives.
I don’t rely on just one tool.
Most community consultants focus on the online group alone. That’s not enough. I teach you how to weave together virtual events, in-person gatherings, and a group space into one system that grows community over time.
I empower you.
I’m not here to build your community for you; I teach you how to do it. I give you the tools, frameworks, and support to launch your community—so you own it, understand it, and can grow it sustainably.
Built for Content Creators
Whether you're a blogger, podcaster, or video creator, the Academy is designed to help you build a community that supports your content and drives growth.
Why Content Creators Are Increasingly Turning to Community Building to Grow Their Brands:
-
Content alone is no longer enough. With attention spans shrinking and the internet saturated, standing out with content is harder than ever.
-
Creators are building communities, not just audiences. Instead of broadcasting to followers, they’re creating spaces where fans connect with each other.
-
Community fuels creativity. These spaces give creators direct input, feedback, and inspiration from their most engaged fans.
-
Connection drives loyalty. When people bond with each other around your brand, they’re far more likely to become vocal advocates.
The biggest mistake made by content creators...
is believing that creating more content is the key to growth.
Yes, content matters—but the internet is flooded. Posts, videos, podcasts… it’s never been easier to create, and never been harder to stand out.
What truly sets creators apart today isn’t just more output—it’s building a space where fans engage with each other, not just consume.
But when you focus all your energy on constantly producing just to stay visible, you end up on the content treadmill—and that’s the fast track to burnout.
Then content creators ask, “Can I hire somebody to do it for me?”
Yes, you can hire a community manager for $55 to $75,000 per year, plus benefits.
But if you’re a smaller organization, there's an easier way to start.
My Community Launch Academy program will show you how to launch and grow your community without the need to hire a full-time Community Manager.
My structured approach and ready-to-use templates save you time, allowing you to focus on what matters most—engaging with your community.
And you can get the ongoing support, motivation and accountability that you need.
