The Hard Truth About Managing Digital Communities
(which no one tells you in advance)
Do you feel alone on this journey?
If you manage a digital community, you probably know these feelings:
-
"Why is no one responding?" - You invest hours in quality content and people just don't respond.
-
"Is it even worth it?" - You work 60 hours a week on the community and no one understands the value
-
The eternal pressure - always being "on", always producing content and activities, always being available
-
It's 11:00 PM - and you're still trying to calm a conflict between two members of the group?
You are not alone in these frustrations!
95% of community managers deal with:
-
Unrecognized workload - you work like 3 people and get paid like one
-
Managing human relations is exhausting - being a psychologist, leader and distributor at the same time
-
Pressure to measure the unmeasurable - how do you prove that a community "works"?
-
The challenge of balance - growing without losing the soul of the community
-
The feeling that "the investment is not worth it" - how can you even make a living from this and get a return on the large investment?
It doesn't have to be like this.
Imagine for a moment that you:
-
Knows exactly how to build a self-sustaining community
-
You have a clear vision that you implement together with community members.
-
Able to demonstrate a clear and measurable ROI for your community
-
Enjoy an active and engaged community that doesn't require you to be available 24/7
-
Feeling safe and in control instead of always chasing your tail
It's time to change the game.

Moshe Cohen, seeing you from afar
"My positive impression began during the process of inquiring about the course, and I actually consulted Galit regarding the role of community leader. I was very impressed by the desire to help and contribute knowledge and experience, even without registering for the course or compensation. Later, I signed up for the joint course run by Galit and Rei, a course in which I was exposed to a variety of community activities and an extensive toolbox for implementing digital community communication. It was a fruitful course with a lot of material, a lot of examples, and a good combination between two good and professional people, Galit and Rei. Admittedly, I still have to digest the extensive material and put it into practice, but it is clear that within the course and after it, there is someone to turn to for tips and assistance."
Ortal Greenberg Ilany, WhiteSource Software
As a leader of a professional community of software developers, I learned in the course the importance of creating interpersonal relationships and connections in the community, and the indirect contribution of connection to the professional aspect. The course greatly expanded my knowledge regarding different platforms and methods through which it is possible to influence the growth of the community.
Vika Minkovich Mualem, Friends for Old Age - Matav Association
Galit and Rei's course provided a wealth of knowledge on community management and generally opened the door to a different way of thinking about leading various processes.
Galit and Rei's guidance was excellent! Both were eloquent, interesting, and the different style of guidance led to listening, asking questions, and fruitful sharing among the group members.
Glad I joined!"
Orly Ravid, Already Back, Communities and Entrepreneurship for the Elderly
It's unusual fun that two experts of the caliber of Galit and Rei, in collaboration with course participants, think with you about how to turn your community into a success story. The great thing about the course is – providing a wealth of knowledge, and exposure to living, breathing communities online in a way that opens the mind to what else is possible in the field of each of us. So if you have a community or are in the planning stage – I highly recommend Rei and Galit's educational and fun course.
