Do you tag them in a welcome post?
Send a personal message?
Point them toward one simple first step?
Or give them space to look around?
I’m thinking about how we welcome people inside The Smell of Money. I want them to feel noticed and know where to begin without handing them a whole new to-do list.
Community owners, what’s your approach and what have you noticed?
Does a public welcome get people talking, or put quieter members on the spot?
Do personal messages start conversations, or go unanswered?
And if you skip the welcome altogether, I’d love to hear why!
What’s working for you, and what have you stopped doing? 👇
