Today, my community welcomed its first paid member. Not overnight. Not in a big viral moment. But through consistency, patience, and staying the course. Here’s how it unfolded: - Community created: Oct 3 - First member joined: Oct 26 - 10 members by Nov 8 - 30 members by Jan 8 - First paid member: Jan 8 (they actually joined back on Nov 1) Progress doesn’t always look loud or fast, but it is happening, even when it feels invisible. If you’re building a community and wondering whether your efforts are landing… this is your reminder to keep showing up. To trust what you’re creating. To believe that the seeds you’re planting are taking root, even if you can’t see the full growth yet. Your vision is valid. Your consistency matters. And the community you’re dreaming of is already on its way. (Sharing a screenshot below as a little moment of proof + encouragement for anyone who needs it today.)

Like this one: 😎 Did you know you can also do this in DM messages? If you've joined this community in the last couple of months, you might not know this, but that first message you got from me, actually had an additional secret message in it. In order to view the message, you need to click the emoji 🤗

Today I took part in a parade in my home town. I was part of a dragon 😂 I usually sneak away and let my other friends run around 🤪 but there weren't enough people this time around so I had to do what I had to do 💪

This is interesting. I wonder if they are doing this so that there are more interactions in the community 🤔 Or maybe so they can serve more ads 😂
