Social Media Today

Social Media Today on LinkedIn is by far the most engaged and professional marketing community available. There are a number of ways to utilize this platform and it depends on your professional goals. If you’re going for thought-leadership, networking, or just seeking advice, this is one way to accomplish it.

I enjoy the global business perspectives in the group and the ability to find international talent. Also, working in market research, it’s nice to have help in this area for quicker adjustments to our content mix on social media.

r/content_marketing 

r/content_marketing is one of my favorite marketing communities on Reddit, which allows content marketers to share advice, give feedback, and connect with fellow marketers. This community is great for individuals who want to navigate customer discovery, keyword optimization, and social media marketing more effectively. It has a weekly newsletter and monthly Q&A live sessions that provide more engaging and interactive venues for members to expand their knowledge and skills in content marketing.

Superpath

This is one of my go-to marketing communities I've found. The community is super active, and everyone is very friendly and supportive. My favourite part is the knowledge-sharing — everyone is willing to share resources and tips and tricks that have they've found useful. I can ask any questions or for advice and get really valuable feedback from peers and industry leaders. Their salary guide is worth checking out. I'm not affiliated, but a fan!

The Traffic Think Tank community is one of the best resources that any SEO professional can have when it comes to upgrading your skillset. This community is abundant with tips, insights, and opportunities. It is a platform curated specifically for building and improving your SEO empire.

TTT is great for newcomers in the SEO industry looking to build their network because its community is composed of brilliant entrepreneurs, SEO marketers, agency owners, and freelancers, among many others.

It's the best Facebook group about SEO and everything marketing related. There are a lot of experienced people who are willing to help you with anything you will ask.

The Content Marketing Lounge

Nathan Collier's Content Marketing Lounge on Facebook is the best marketing community.

Not only is Nathan an expert in marketing and very generous with his advice, but the community members are also knowledgeable. It's an active community and there's always someone willing to offer feedback or answer questions. The overall tone is very professional, and the group lacks the ego and drama you find in many other communities.

GrowthHackers Community

GrowthHackers is one of those marketing communities that I'm thankful to be part of. This group aims to address the lack of information, resource shortage, and reduced learning opportunities for the increasing number of growth hackers. Its innovative approach to marketing helps startups build actionable goals through experimentation, allowing them to naturally grow and create a name in the market. More importantly, all group members are helping each other by establishing a sense of community while encouraging everyone to contribute unique and valuable ideas.

GrowthAndSEO.com 

I am a part of a lot of different marketing slacks, but GrowthAndSEO.com is definitely the best one that I am a part of to build authority. The community is incredibly engaged and always willing to help each other out, whether it's offering advice on a campaign or just sharing industry news.

There is a great mix of experienced marketers and newcomers, so there is always something new to learn. In addition, the moderators are very active and do a great job of keeping the conversations relevant and on-topic.

Cult of Copy

Cult of Copy is a Facebook community that focuses on digital marketing and copywriting. It was one of the first marketing communities to pop up on social media, and it's one of the most useful groups for those who are interested in learning about copywriting. I enjoy Cult of Copy because of the people that make the group; there are so many popular and not-so-popular marketers who share great advice and provoke interesting discussions on a daily basis. As one of the OG groups on Facebook, Cult of Copy is still one of the best marketing communities.

Online Geniuses 

I joined the Online Geniuses Slack channel a few months ago and I love it! It's a community of over 40,000 marketers with a channel for just about every segment of marketing you can imagine.

Plus, the people in the community are super helpful and always willing to answer questions. One of my favorite parts are the Q&A sessions where marketing experts will answer questions from members of the community. In the past they've had: Will Cady, Head of Brand Strategy for Reddit, Paul Greenberg, the former CEO of College Humor, and Fernando Angulo, Head of Communications at SEMrush, to name a few! It's a great place to learn and connect with other knowledgeable marketers.

If you want to continuously learn how to maximize SEO as a marketing strategy, you will have a good time in Women in Tech SEO (WTS). You can be always in the loop for SEO techniques and digital marketing tactics by being in the WTS Slack and Facebook group.
