How do you stay actively engaged with your audience post-program?
How are your participants supported with their progress?
Whether you're a coach, trainer, program leader or event planner, you can create affordable and effective community engagement that keeps your audience inspired, motivated, empowered and connected around your content!
Most events and programs have NO ongoing support
in place AFTER their events are complete.
This can cause participants to lose touch with their goals and each other, and fall back into old habits and ways of thinking. For most event planners & program leaders, the connection with their audience ends there. But what if you could keep them actively engaged with you and each other, well after your events/programs are over?Our Custom Community provides ongoing mentoring and peer support for your participants to continue the growth they started at YOUR events/programs. The system is designed to let you interact with your audience and grow your outreach into an active, long-term following simply and easily, with minimal time/effort (while giving your participants a long-term support system which keeps them connected with you and each other on an ongoing basis).
Your best customers are the ones you already have.
The probability of selling to existing customers is 60-70% (vs. 5-20% for new prospects)
Market your products/events to an active community of dedicated consumers (significantly increases click-through rate on emails/messages)
Create natural sales funnels for your products & events (custom courses & groups with integrated “Gamification” & goal-planner elements)
Interact with & grow your outreach simply & easily (gives you an active, self-sustaining community of “primed,” dedicated consumers for new products or events)
Works for many types of events/programs (teleconferences, courses, workshops, webinars, live/online events, retreats, support/study groups, masterminds & more)
Can be a huge upgrade from a Facebook group (passive, unfocused, difficult to market to)

Custom Community Platform
How It Works
You invite your members: You send participants an invitation or a link to the member signup page.
They view inspiring media: Your members login and view inspiring quotes, personal stories and other media that others post, and are inspired and moved by them.
They post their own & begin participating: They can then add their own favorite meaningful quotes and personal stories, participate in forum discussions, or add comments/insights to other posts (that inspiration can then be auto-posted to your social media accounts to help draw more exposure to your website, and to help grow awareness of your member-related programs & events).
They join groups & start working on personal growth: They can also view members and see their posts and groups, as well as in what categories they are available for groups or accountability partnerships (then they can request to join an existing group, or start their own and invite others to join). The groups are organized systems that allow individuals to create and manage groups & relationships, receive notifications, set goals & events, have conference calls or chat room meetings and discussion groups on an ongoing basis.
They share their activity & track their growth: Starting groups, attending events and sharing posts gets members Growth points, levels and badges that help them track their personal growth in their areas of interest (they can also set personal goals and share them with others).
They attend new events & start the process over again: They will continually receive automated messages and email prompts reminding them of upcoming group calls or leadership responsibilities, and upcoming event opportunities they can attend (once they return from those events, new groups are formed and new accountability partnerships that can all be folded back into the existing community).

Wow! I had seen Trevor present his website design work and was impressed enough to ask him to build a website for our online school, LifeWorks University. What he created is a masterpiece... This has given our global student body not only the means to learn the principles and practices to create the life of their dreams, it has given them a sense that they are a part of a worldwide community with no borders and no boundaries." ~ Don Cote, PhD, LifeWorks U"Trevor is a visionary! We had an idea and he quickly expanded it and took us to a new level. He helped us create the back end and then launch our customized learning portal, WinMasterSeries.com, where we have the video content of our high-end programs for our small-business clients. Trev is definitely a guy to talk to if you're thinking about creative web applications - see if he can expand your ideas, too!" ~ Pete Winiarski, Win Enterprises, LLC"Trevor did an absolute great job at setting up our online LMS & community for LifeWorks university." ~ Adam Schizkoske, LifeWorks U"A delight to work with... professional, honest & knows his stuff. Highly recommend Trevor!!!!!" ~ Robin Bersson, A-List Hero/Teen

FAQs About Pricing & Financing
- What does it mean to "License" this platform? We built this technology as a "Platform" that we license instead of us charging 10's of thousands of dollars to create an app for you from the ground up. We thought of pretty much everything that will make this a powerful and effective app for you and since the app will be white labeled to you, offered by you in your own account on the app store, we need to make sure you understand that we are licensing you this technology, not giving it to you. The agreement we send you is straight forward with no surprises so you know you are getting an incredible deal.
- How are payments made each month? When? If you choose the 3-payment option, these payments are made by credit card or debit card automatically each month. The charge will go through each month from the day you signed up.
- What is the $199 maintenance fee for? This fee applies AFTER the first year for your payment or deposit covers that fee for the first year. This fee covers our time to reset app technology connections, certificates and connections to the services your app use (push notification technology and developer accounts). This typical takes our team a few hours to handle each year so we need to charge this fee to cover those costs.
- Who owns the content in the app? All content you input into your app through the web portal, all graphics you use to brand it to your business and the list and clients you build from your app is 100% your property. We only own the "code" behind the app that runs the platform but when it comes to the content and intellectual property you have that goes into it, that is yours!
- How long does it take to launch an app? How long it takes really depends on how fast you take the steps to get what is needed to launch it on the app stores. We walk you through EVERY step of the process to create the look of the app by you simply answering questions and providing us with graphics we need. You'll then need to setup two app store accounts and then after that you'll just need to add content to your app through the web portal. We provide training and support for ALL of this. You do NOT need to be a tech genius to work with us to create your app.
- Who launches the app on the app stores? Which app stores will they go under? We will handle the launch for you. When you app is ready and tested and reviewed by you, which you will do on your own phone before it's live, we then handle the process of submitting the app to the iPhone and Google Play (Android) app stores under your own accounts.
