Since Episode #69, I've continued to wind-down my Facebook group. I still post there occasionally, but everyone in my group knows that I've moved the community to my own website and most have them followed me to my new forum. You can check out my new community by going to Forum.SubscribeMe.fm .
And on this episode, I also talk about how I use Slack, how I use my Online Forum, When to use which tool, and How I'm using Scarcity, Exclusivity and Urgency to Build My Online Community

1,097 people passed him by, but only 7 of them stopped to listen to him. He had a mat spread out in front of him to collect donations.
For his 43-minute performance, he collected a whopping $32.17 from a total of 27 passersby.
