Welcome to another week in Rosieland!
I've ended up being two days late with this one, but I'm okay with that, I have a good excuse!
It has been a big week for me as I hang up my hat at Orbit and go in full time to build my own Rosieland and community things.
I have lots of plans, but first I will breathe, relax and calm down a little bit. The reality is starting to set in and I'm pretty excited about it!
Today is my birthday and community manager appreciation day.

But when you run a community, you NEED to know how it's doing. You need to monitor its vital signs to keep it healthy. 👩⚕️
Here are 5 key metrics you should be measuring for your community:
When I started in Community Management, I made $50k a year. In San Francisco. In year 2, I made $55k.

My pay got better at startups, but it wasn't until I dug into Program Management that I felt financially secure.
You can do CM as a PgM. And get paid more. Trust me :)
