Do you like when a Community owner mentions you publicly? Your post gets pinned. You’re mentioned in a post. I get that small moment of excitement. A quick “What’s happening?" But in a nice way. Personalization is a strong psychological concept. And because communities run on psychology…it’s important to have. It’s one of the simplest ways to build a real Community - not just a group. You might have noticed I do it often in my posts. I think we should do it as much as possible. Without limit. Some good ways that work for me: 🎉 Individual welcoming posts 🔔 Mention people in posts. 🔖 Tag people in the comments. 🏆 Share members’ win. 👀 highlight when someone’s doing something good. 📌 Pin your members posts. I want to give props to @Angela Perry for doing it in her community. She shoutouts a member who’s doing something well in her community every week. 🎖️ An amazing example for us! 🗨️Who else is doing something similar, or thinking about doing it?

It’s 2025. I need more. Between work, projects, fitness, relationships, eating, thinking about eating, attempting to meditate, and pretending I’m staying “balanced”… The math just doesn’t math. 😅 So I’m proposing an upgrade: ➡️ Day 2.0 — now with 30 hours! (Still not enough, but at least we’d be honest about it.)

Improving engagement doesn’t mean getting Every member to engage. Most of communities have three types of members, who: 🙋‍♂️ Always engage; 👻 Never engage; 🤔 Sometimes engage. We want to reach those who engage Sometimes. They usually just need a little nudge - and they're the majority. Easy way to do this is: ➡️ Give them a tag; ➡️ Ask a simple question; ➡️ Make it easy to comment. A small change on your part can make a big difference in engagement!

If you're up for it, comment down your birthday and I'll add it to the calendar. When it comes, you'll get a shoutout and we'll do a community celebration 🎉
