Nigel Moore built and owns The Tech Tribe, a successful paid community of entrepreneurs in the world of tech. His members run IT service providers, technology businesses and MSPs (Managed Service Providers).

Nigel’s business has gotten to where it is without the complex marketing that many companies rely on. And how he’d done it is the topic of this SuperFastBusiness episode.

From service provider to running a membership site

Nigel ran an MSP himself for a long time before a friend introduced him to SuperFastBusiness, then FastWebFormula. Before that he was working 80 to 100-odd hours a week for 30, 40 grand annually.

He eventually hit the 6-figure mark and got his work hours down to 10-15 hours weekly. That was when he started teaching friends with similar businesses what he was doing. And he realized he had both a gift for and an interest in coaching and mentoring.

James’s world opened up possibilities for Nigel. He realized he could do something he enjoyed to help people, while making a healthy income in a very leveraged way. He sold his MSP and built a membership site. Fast forward to the present – Tech Tribe is a 7-figure subscription website catering to an enthusiastic community of 1400 tech entrepreneurs.

A lifeline in time of pandemic

While the IT MSP space was not as heavily impacted last year as some areas of business, Tech Tribe was still a pillar of support for many of its members. Aside from the highly useful intel, the community and the hand-holding aspect of it were important to those of the tribe who did struggle.

Critical elements of evolving to success

Get outside your echo chamber – Nigel describes his time up to encountering SuperFastBusiness as having been inside his own echo chamber, and the echo chamber of his industry. He went from a very myopic view of business to a vast new outlook, thanks to James – a world of opportunities and new ways to do things.
