Do not make this mistake – just because you have 1000’s followers online does not mean you have built a community!
In this episode, we’ll talk about: what does it actually take to build an online community from scratch? And why so much of what gets sold as “community” is actually just not it!
My guest today is Liz Rivas, founder of RoamCircle, a female entrepreneur who built a global community app for female travellers in 90 days, with zero technical background. We talk about why community is such a buzzword online and what community building as a solopreneur really looks like in its purest form.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:
- What actually separates real online community building from an Instagram page with 1000’s of followers.
- Why do so many female entrepreneurs try to build community completely alone, and burn out doing it?
- What makes networking for business feel reciprocal instead of transactional, and why do most solopreneurs get it backwards?
If there’s one thing to take from this conversation, it’s that online community building isn’t about follower counts or a perfectly branded Instagram page, it’s reciprocity.
