"For the first time in history, teachers, leaders, writers and inspirers can not only send out their message into the world, but can interact with their students and audience in a consistent, interactive, global way. By creating community, and by nourishing that community, and by encouraging that community to share their own "wisdom of the crowd," everybody prospers. Everybody wins."

                                   - Adam Gilad, CEO, Wisdom Tribes

THE NEED FOR WISDOM TRIBES

This world possesses great wisdom teachers.

Some write best-selling books. Some lead workshops. Some make films.

Wisdom Teachers have messages that are crucial for the awakening of our species. Yet these messages are often not heard by those who are hungry for their message, nor are these audiences provided an opportunity to deepen in these teachings in a consistent manner, as part of a like-minded community, over time.

Wisdom Tribes was founded to redress this.
  

THE WISDOM TRIBES MISSION

To connect notable authors, teachers and cultural leaders to their global audiences in an integrated direct, ongoing, interactive, multi-platform way, maximizing both traditional and cutting edge tools of the wired world, while providing multiple revenue streams.

These revenue streams may come from:

1. A paid membership community in continuity
2. New product creation
3. Repurposing of archived products, recordings, writing, etc
4. Monthly content delivery (CD, Downloaded Audio, Video or text)
5. Live tele- or web-events
6. Live workshop events or cruises
7. Special high-ticket, small-group coaching

It is important to understand that we integrate all the elements into a seamless, unitary whole.
  

WISDOM TRIBE SERVICES:

Each teacher is unique, and we work with each to create a unique suite of services that balances:

1. The teacher's schedule and desired participation
2. The audiences desires
3. The best way to serve the Work at hand.

Among our services:

We Craft a Participatory Narrative

It is one thing to learn and another to learn with a sense of where you are going. We work with our teachers to create a clear sense of what participants can expect over specific stretches of time as part of a particular Wisdom Tribe. We work to create benchmarks and visions for participants, and ways for them to mark their progress. This both helps participants understand their learning, and integrates them more deeply into the ongoing programs.

We Create Sustained Involvement

Learning requires practice, and we blend our web, tele, and live interactions to create a steady flow of information and inspiration, to encourage growth and depth for all participants.

We Create And Sustain A Sense of Audience Value

By highlighting outstanding participation, as well as facilitating leadership within the community by the creation of sub-groups within the Community Site, members feel valued, offer new value, and add energy and momentum to the Tribe.

We Create Intimacy and Connection in Audience Community

A custom-designed social network community allows the participants to communicate directly with each other, in small groups, across all affinity and interest lines, as well as with Teachers and teachers' staffs. This creates an entirely different "family" type experience, as opposed to the "buy-a-book-and-read-it- alone," or "attend-a-workshop-now-and-then" sporadic connection.

We Create and Execute Advanced Marketing and Social Media Strategy

Our staff is expert in utilizing and integrating all the crucial tools of the new social media universe, including

• Blog, blogger outreach and blog maximization
• Podcast and podcast maximization
• Facebook - intetgrated strategy
• Twitter - integrated strategy
• YouTube Channel maximization
• Leveraging affinity communities

… as well as about twenty other accelerators including Squidoo, Digg, StumbleUpon, De.li.cious etc.

We also provide advanced marketing strategies, including article and video marketing and SEO optimization to help grow the community steadily, over time.

We Manage All Support Functions

We provide all customer service, web-design and support, as well as all management and technology expertise.  Our goal for the Teacher:  create what you create.  We are here to serve that vision.
