Quickstart Your New Community: A Webinar for Aspiring Community Builders
Building a thriving online community takes more than just a great idea. That pre-launch excitement is fantastic, but to turn it into reality, you need strategies. That's why we hosted our "Quickstart Your New Community" webinar with Aaron Weiss.
Actionable Insights to Implement Today
Mastering the Engagement Pyramid
Most members tend to be lurkers (90%), passively consuming content. Your mission? To nudge them towards contribution (the magic 9%). By creating a welcoming environment, reaching out personally, and providing opportunities to participate, you cultivate a community of engaged members. Also, spotlight your community's champions – the 1% who drive content. It's important to nurture them, as they are the heart and soul of your community. By following Aaron's tips, you create a thriving community with a healthy mix of lurkers, contributors, and superstars.
The First Posts Matter!
Aaron emphasizes the power of strategic content seeding. Before launch, ignite excitement with thought-provoking questions and engaging initial posts. This sets the tone for your community and positions you as a valuable resource. But content alone won't win the game. Consistency is key! Regularly create fresh content that resonates with your audience. By consistently delivering value, you keep your community buzzing.
Formula for Launching and Reviving Communities
Whether you're starting from scratch or reigniting a dormant community, understanding the "why" is crucial. Aaron suggests digging deep to uncover what caused the slowdown (if any) and using that knowledge to craft a winning strategy. He also highlights the power of summaries – keeping everyone in the loop about what's happening fuels engagement and reminds members why they joined in the first place.
