Calling all Small to Midsize Bloggers!

Hard to believe, but the Killer Tribes Blogger Community has been around for over a year now! Launched in May 2011, there are currently over 60 members from all over the U.S. (and a few from outside the U.S.).

I’ve spent the last year refining and tweaking things in the community to figure out what adds value to bloggers and as a result the community keeps getter bigger and better. In that vein I’m excited to announce some big changes coming to the community in 2 weeks!

Here’s the Headlines:

  • I’ve added a Gold and a Platinum Membership Level to the Community. They include 1:1 video chats with me (quarterly or monthly), FREE Killer Tribes Tickets, and a premium video coaching series.
  • Current signup rates end on Friday, July 13 and the community will close for the weekend.
  • Community membership is going from $10/mth to $15/mth after July 13.
  • Gold Membership is going from $24/mth to $35/mth after July 13.
  • Platinum Membership is going from $65/mth to $75/mth after July 13.
  • The Community will re-open with the new features (& new rates) on Mon, July 16.

So what will the new Community feature?

First off, here’s what’s not changing. You’ll still have access to our collaborative forum featuring multiple message boards and positive, helpful encouragement to bloggers at every level. You’ll still receive the Community newsletter (on a monthly basis) which features everything from blogging tips to community highlights to special member offers to extra access to what’s going on in my life and career that I don’t share here on the blog. And you’ll still get your own unique Member Number and listing in our Member Directory.

Here’s what we’re adding:

  • A community blog at MyKillerTribe.com that will highlight the best of what is written in the community. This will be run by Community Members, for community members. Having your bests posts highlighted there will bring you more traffic, more legitimate inbound links, and ultimately more engagement on your blog. Huge win for everyone.
  • A Big Discount on Killer Tribes Conference Tickets. How big? How about 60% off. If you join the community anytime in 2012 and you’re still a member at the time of the conference (early Spring 2013) you get more than half off.
  • A FREE, members-only weekend get together in Pennsylvania. Sometime in late October or early November I’ll be hosting a weekend meetup for members only in my neck of the woods. There may be some teaching/coaching that happens, but it will have more of a reunion feel than a conference feel. More details to come, but I am so excited to put this on.
  • Discounts of up to 30% on Killer Tribes Coaching. Community members get special rates on coaching sessions with me. Those are available as a single hour, 3 1-hour sessions, or 5 1-hour sessions at KillerTribes.com.

What about the Gold & Platinum Levels?

Gold Membership gets you everything listed above, PLUS:

  • A QUARTERLY 45-minute video coaching session with me. This will be your time to ask me anything you like. Whether it’s blogging, writing a book, building a tribe, putting on a conference, connecting with people…whatever it is you want to talk about, we can. Or if you’d just like to have a 45-minute staring contest, we can do that too.
  • A FREE ticket to next year’s Killer Tribes Conference. If you join the community as a Gold Member anytime in 2012 and you’re still a member at the time of the conference (early Spring 2013) you can waltz in without paying a dime.
  • Access to the monthly Premium Member Video Series. Starting in August I will be doing in-depth video interviews with bloggers, authors, and influencers that I look up to. These videos will be password-protected just for the Gold Members, and Gold Members will be able to submit questions beforehand that I will ask these folks during the interviews. It’s going to be like sitting in on a Masters Class in building a tribe every month, just for you.

Platinum Membership gets you everything listed above, PLUS:

  • A MONTHLY 45-minute video coaching session with me. This will be your time to ask me anything you like. Whether it’s blogging, writing a book, building a tribe, putting on a conference, connecting with people…whatever it is you want to talk about, we can. Or if you’d just like to have a 45-minute staring contest, we can do that too.
  • 2 FREE tickets to next year’s Killer Tribes Conference. If you join the community as a Gold Member anytime in 2012 and you’re still a member at the time of the conference (early Spring 2013) you and a friend can waltz in without paying a dime.
  • Access to the monthly Premium Member Video Series. Starting in August I will be doing in-depth video interviews with bloggers, authors, and influencers that I look up to. These videos will be password-protected just for the Gold Members, and Gold Members will be able to submit questions beforehand that I will ask these folks during the interviews. It’s going to be like sitting in on a Masters Class in building a tribe every month, just for you.

When are the rates going up?

Starting on July 16, these will be the new rates:

  • Community Membership will be $15/month
  • Gold Membership will be $35/month.
  • Platinum Membership will be $75/month

Time is running out to get in on the current rates before I close the community for the weekend on July 13.

The current rates are:

  • Community Membership is $10/month
  • Gold Membership is $24/month
  • Platinum Membership is $65/month

If you sign up at the current rates you’re locked in at that rate for as long as you stay in the community. That’s why if you’ve ever thought about joining the community, NOW is the time to join. (And if you’re someone who has always wanted to blog but never jumped in? This is the perfect time and the perfect reason to do it!)

Hurry, Membership is Limited

Because I want to keep membership numbers at a manageable place, Community Membership is only being offered for the first 250 bloggers who join. (Keep in mind that there are already 60 bloggers in the community).

The same goes for Gold and Platinum Memberships. At this time I’m capping Gold Membership at 25 bloggers and Platinum membership at 10 bloggers so I can deliver the value at a high level without spreading myself too thin.

Once those limits are hit the sign-up buttons will be deactivated and it will go to a waiting list.

So Excited for this Next Chapter!

If you’ve ever wished you could get out of blogging as much as you put into it, this community is for you. And whether you come in at the Gold Level or just as a Community Member, you’re going to love being a part.

Take a look at the folks who are already in it, I’m sure you’ve heard of some of these bloggers before: The Killer Tribes Blogger Member Directory.

See you on the inside!
