Liisa is an amazing human, so helpful and kind-hearted, Which is important in A person who is going to help you take a scalpel to your marketing and really dissect to what is working with isn't working. I love her curiosity and willingness to learn and listen to me and to her other members and her incredibly supportive attitude. Added to this her amazing knowledge about marketing really helps people think through their processes, And make decisions to be more clear and be much more effective. I'm so grateful to have had the experience to participate in her open case study week. It really helps to talk out what I'm doing and her questions were very insightful and also very helpful recommendations.

Liisa has a great personality & has a lot to offer. If you need a structured approach, and someone who has been around - then, this one is for you. Liisa has been a guest in my Community Clinic and i truly enjoyed her session. Not just enjoyed but actually learnt from it. Join her community and learn how to build a working funnel.

Practical, Action-First Community Building Without the Hype
What I like most about Lidia’s Community Builders HQ is that it feels built around doing, not just learning. The promise is very clear - get your first 100 members on Skool in 30 days - and the community backs that up with a practical path, templates, live growth events, and support around the things community builders actually need to figure out. I also appreciate Lidia’s style. She keeps things simple, gives direct feedback, and doesn’t hide behind theory or “secret formulas.” There’s a strong build while learning mindset throughout the group, which I think is exactly what most newer community owners need. Another thing that stands out is the amount of real proof around the community. Member wins, reviews, and visible results make it easier to trust that this isn’t just another collection of lessons sitting in a classroom. For coaches, experts and educators who want to build a Skool community and actually get people into it, this is a very solid place to start. 5 stars from me - practical, generous, and focused on progress over noise ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lidia's energy and commitment to her members is boundless.
Lidia's energy and commitment to her members is boundless. She's just not happy until her people see success too. The thing I love about this community is that it's not just telling you HOW to build, but Lidia's actually modeling what it takes to do it. Nothing fake, no "easy buttons", no BS, no smoke and mirrors. Just practical, transparent, real talk and action. Highly recommend!

Community Builders HQ is one of the most valuable communities I have joined on Skool. Lidia does not simply share generic advice about growing a community. She takes the time to understand what you are building, identify what is not working, and help you find practical solutions. She recently spent an hour with me diagnosing the problems in my communities. She asked thoughtful questions, challenged my assumptions, and helped me see issues I had been too close to recognize on my own. I left the conversation with greater clarity, a stronger strategy, and a much better understanding of what I needed to change. The community itself is filled with useful guidance, honest feedback, and people who genuinely want to help one another succeed. It is an excellent place for anyone who is serious about building, growing, or monetizing an online community. For anyone who has joined the free community but has not upgraded to the paid membership, you are missing out on an incredible amount of additional value. The personalized support and deeper insights alone make it worthwhile.
