If you're at ground-level and just starting out, you can buy your way into a few (as jmduke pointed one out). I highly recommend joining Rob Walling's (rwalling) Micropreneur Academy and branching out from there. The cover charge is a bit pricey at ~$50 a month, but if you contribute to discussions and look for ways to help other people (this is key), you'll find your way forward into some great communities.
At $50 per month, it certainly seems like a good way to keep the owners employed, at least.

I don't think you're looking at this the right way. The right metric is value, not price.
If the community isn't worthwhile, then even $5 would be too much.
If the community helps your business to grow, then $50 is a trivial price.
I'm not a member, but I read Rob's book and it's was worth FAR more than the cover price.
I have revenue. Not as much as I want, but enough so that even a tiny increase in conversions is worth quite a bit, if the increase is permanent.
Pass.
