Here’s what I learned: 1. It’s not about building out your curriculum first. Most people won’t even look at it anyway. My apologies to Shannon. i know, i know. I need to finish the curriculum!!! Build community first! Make your community a fun place to be. “ What’s Nick doing today?” 2. Show up everyday. Offer help, encourage others, offer rewards for engagement such as posting in the group at level 3 , DM in level 3. Why? It encourages engagement! And most people can level up in one conversation! 3. Participate in other groups not just your niche. Do both! People will radiate towards someone who is authentic, offers encouragement, and shows up! 4. Admit that you don’t have all the answers, be humble but stand your ground! Have principles! 5. Participate in live calls and when given the chance! Talk not about yourself but how you can help the group individually or as a whole. Call people out in the live by name and tell them how you can help them do something that will make their lives easier! 6. Have fun, be nutty, be vulnerable, show your humanity, be authentic! You will shine and people will radiate towards you! 7. I’ve also implemented a Buddy System where I encourage higher levels to reach out to level one members! And it’s working! There are so many valuable “lurkers” who deserve a voice! And instead of me reaching out, my members are! 8. I also run fun contests, challenges, and participatory sing alongs! That’s coming! Shh! What are some unique methods you are using to boost your totals? https://www.intensemedia.com/lab Join a thriving community that puts you, the community, and your story first!
