Community Marketing☆

Private lending runs on repeat borrowers and word of mouth. This skill plans a community around the investors you lend to — a local meetup, an online group, an investor club or a borrower-ambassador program — so members get real value and your firm becomes the lender they recommend.

What it does

• Picks the right community model and platform for your goal
• Plans the first 90 days of launching a community from zero
• Designs recurring rituals — monthly meetups, deal reviews, Q&A threads
• Builds an ambassador program for your best repeat borrowers
• Sets health metrics and warning signs to watch

When to use it

• Starting a local investor meetup or online group
• An existing group has gone quiet
• Turning loyal borrowers into advocates
• Looking for a marketing asset that compounds over time

What to have ready

• Who the community is for — flippers, landlords, builders, brokers
• Where they already gather, online and offline
• How much time your team can commit
• Any existing group or list to start from

How to use it

1. Download it with the button above. You'll sign in with a work email — that's how the creator knows who is using their skill.
2. Copy the install prompt from the "Run it in Claude" box, and paste it into Claude along with the file. Claude installs the skill, fills in your firm's details where the file has [BRACKETED] placeholders, and runs a quick test with you.
3. Then just ask in plain English. Claude picks the skill up on its own when a request matches it. Anything it still needs, it asks you for — it won't invent a number.

"Plan a community for fix-and-flip investors in [CITY] that our firm hosts — monthly meetups plus an online group — and a 90-day launch plan."

What you get back

A community strategy document with platform choice, launch plan, event calendar and member welcome sequence.

Good to know

• Output quality tracks input quality. A missing figure is flagged as missing — it is never estimated to fill a gap.
• Every draft is a starting point for your own review, not a finished decision.
• Runs anywhere Claude does: the Claude app, Claude Desktop, or Claude Code.
• If members include prospective investors in your fund, talking up fund returns in the community can be a general solicitation under securities rules — keep fund discussion out unless your counsel has cleared it. Paying ambassadors per referral or per funded loan can raise broker-licensing questions in some states — check before offering cash rewards.
