How to keep your community alive these days?
Give the community a common problem to solve and let them solve it. Here's a podcast episode about this and other ways
In my internet bubble the buzz has changed from “how do you convert your audience to a community” to “so we have a community, what now”.
What now? Indeed. We’ll focus more episodes of The Communities Show on it.
Businesses invest in communities for varied reasons
Better/cheaper support channels
Marketing and customer development
Product feedback and beta-testing
And more. Whatever justifies the budgets.
But in this episode we mostly are focusing on independent online content creators - YouTubers, bloggers/thought leaders, online course creators - they operate as small businesses and need personal communities too to be less dependent on a single platform.
Enjoy!
Virtual hugs,
