In today’s world, fostering communities is more crucial than ever. I believe it’s the key to the future of business—creating niche communities led by founders or leaders who genuinely support their members, and in return, those communities back the creator and their vision.

 

 

 

 

 

This clip from the 2021 Traffic and Conversion Summit in San Diego offers several insights, tactics, and stories to help you build a thriving community around your brand. Simply being present isn’t enough; you must build a space where people feel they truly belong. After all, that’s what we seek as humans—a sense of belonging.

 

 

The secret to building engaging community lies in your ability to build content that your target audience likes and improving the visibility of your community to reach your target audience.

This is a great video! Thank you for sharing. A lot of great points and advice. I agree that you should keep your members engaged and involved when making big decision on the forum/website. Of course, the decision is going to affect them too so it's a good idea to allow them to have a voice and say.

 

Thank again for sharing this!

Focusing on relationship development and audience pain points is one of the best ways to create a highly engaging community, in my opinion.

 

1. Develop relationships with your members. Treat them more like friends than members. Become BFFs in your community.

 

2. Discover your members' needs, wants, and pain points. Solve them. Give them easy answers on your forum. Do this as often as you can.

 

I feel like the two strategies above will create an extremely engaging community.

All of these sound like amazing ways to not only keep members but to encourage members to be active and encourage new users to become members.

 

It's a lot of time, dedication and hard work to build an engaging community and really your work never ends as you should be upgrading the forum regularly, posting regularly and encourage members to participate in posting as well as joining contests.

Asking questions that are relevant to the main topic are one of the key strategies to building an engaging forum as it helps users to stay engaged.

It’s a nice building block to keep active users around.

 

I tend to use this strategy a lot, especially when I’m onboarding new members.

This is what makes a great community, a place where everyone feels like they belong. Always reach out to your community whenever you feel the need to change something. Keep everyone in the loop.

Good promotions, friendly/welcoming staff team, and the admins should also be dedicated to growing the community on a daily basis. The grind never stops.
