Failure! How did I get here?

You can see that this community lacks engagement and has no clear direction.

It is apparent that this community lacks a sense of purpose, and after returning, members don't have compelling reasons to stay here. Additionally, the value I add is almost zero. Many who have joined do not even remember which community it is or who is Himanshu Bisht. If you too, do not remember, this is my fault.

This is why, even with 115 members currently, the engagement is near zero.

There are two important lessons here:

Communities don't run by themselves. It is a fake promise that "communities" will run on autopilot.
Community is not a one-person game. At this point, it's just a dormant group. Whether it is a free skool group or a locally hosted community, you need to bring people who share your vision.

But is it truly a failure?

Communities can be revived easily by bringing in new blood and implementing promotions. But without a clear sense of opportunity, it will die again.

There are only three elements to keep things going:

Leadership - Consistently offering value from an attractive figure.
New Opportunity - For those who are still not aware, so that they can find novelty and excitement
Bright future - Working for a shared, exciting future, together.

As you can see here, all three elements are missing. This is the primary reason this community lacks engagement.

At this point, considering an old community as a new one is the best bet.

Considering there are 0 members and you are starting from scratch, this is the best strategy.
