Million Dollar Community: Chief of Staff Network
🆕 Deep dive
The Chief of Staff role has grown into the mainstream over the past decade. At the center of this movement is Scott Amenta and his Chief of Staff Network (COSN), which has become home for Chiefs of Staff worldwide.
Starting from a Medium post, COSN has evolved into a community business that generates $1M+ each year, serving around 900+ members.
In this deep dive, we examine how Scott built and scaled the network and transitioned from free to paid along the way.
Here’s what to expect:
✔️ Origin Story: How COSN got started
✔️ The Offer: The value it offers its members
✔️ Revenue: How COSN makes money
✔️ Growth: The tactics used to grow its membership
✔️ Tools: The tool stack it uses to power its community and business

✍️ Want to write for Community Inc?
Right now, Community Inc. is just me, writing for 4,000+ community builders.
But, I've noticed there aren't many opportunities in the community space for folks to get exposure beyond a handful of annual events (featuring the same ol' voices year after year). So I want to open things up.
Here's what I'm looking for: community builders who want to share their unique insights and experiences about the business of community.
Whether that's a regular column, occasional articles, or one-offs. B2B/B2C/Creator communities, whatever. It just has to be original.
If you've got ideas brewing or want to explore writing together, just reply with your pitch.
