🌟 What I’m Hoping to Learn (and Share) in This Community

Hey everyone, I’m Rachel — thanks to Matt for the warm welcome! 👋

When I think about what a “win” looks like for me in being here, it goes deeper than just numbers or growing a group for the sake of it.

👉 My main goal is to learn how to build an engaged and supportive community from the ground up. That means:

Creating real conversations instead of just posts that sit there.
Learning effective onboarding so new members feel connected right away.
Finding ways to keep people active and engaged, even when life gets busy.
Building a space where members feel like they belong and are seen, not just “in a group.”

I’d also love to pick up strategies around:

✅ Sparking interaction

✅ Keeping momentum going

✅ Creating value that members actually want to come back for

At the same time, I want to give back where I can. I’ve had some experience creating smaller groups around things like farming, digital products, and supporting people who learn differently. What I’ve noticed is that no matter the niche, people stay when they feel:

💬 Heard

🤝 Connected

🌱 Like they’re growing

I’m excited to share what I’ve learned so far, hear what’s worked (or hasn’t worked) for you all, and hopefully grow together as community builders.

So let me throw a question back to you all:

👉 What’s one thing you’ve seen that really makes a community feel alive?

Can’t wait to hear your thoughts! 🚀
