Everyone, please welcome @Alli Gatlin 🎉 It's very good to have you, I'm sure we have talked in Chris's group, and perhaps somewhere else? Alli, this post is a great place to introduce yourself - tell us what you do and what your Community’s about (shameless promotion allowed 💙) By the way, don’t forget to check out the pinned comment “How it Works” where you’ll find a link to book our call :)

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?

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!

Let's see everyone's numbers! I noticed some communities started the week with very different numbers 😍 P.S. Thanks for a great meetup! @Angela Perry @Tim T Nice chatting about things unrelated to our communities 😄

In the last days I've talked with so many of you and got a pleasure to know you personally 🙌 And got to know the amazing things you do. And the problems you face. So I want to ask: What is something you are doing in your community that could be improved this week? What's the 1 improvement that would bring the most benefit? Personally, I could name 10 things that are blocking me or could be improved in my community. So I'm sure everyone has something they haven't figured out yet. 👇 Drop what you haven't figured out yet, and let the community figure it out for you.
