1. Make sure your community has a clear purpose and set of guidelines that all members agree to follow. This will help establish the expectations for participation and make the community more welcoming for new members.
2. Engage with your members regularly and encourage them to participate in discussions and share their ideas and experiences. This can help foster a sense of connection and build a stronger sense of community.
3. Provide resources and support for members to help them get the most out of the community. This could include things like tutorials, Q&A sessions, or other helpful content.
4. Regularly check in with members to see how they are doing and ask for feedback on how the community can be improved. This will help ensure that the community remains relevant and valuable for its members.
5. Consider implementing rewards or recognition programs to incentivize participation and foster a sense of achievement within the community.
Overall, building a strong community on Slack or any other platform requires regular engagement and support from community leaders and members. It's important to create a welcoming and inclusive environment and provide value to members to help keep them engaged and connected.
@anshaj_goyal This sounds great and useful. But how do you attract more members at the beginning?

@sofiali Here are some ways to attract more members to your Slack community at the beginning:
Share information about your community on social media and other online platforms, and invite people to join.
Create content that is relevant and valuable to your target audience, and share it on your Slack community and other channels.
Engage with other communities and online groups that are related to your niche, and introduce your Slack community as a place where people can learn more and connect with others who share their interests.
Offer incentives or rewards for people who join your Slack community, such as access to exclusive content, discounts on products or services, or the opportunity to participate in contests or other events.
Make it easy for people to join your Slack community, by providing clear instructions and a user-friendly sign-up process.
Overall, the key is to create a community that offers value and appeal to your target audience, and to promote it effectively to attract new members.
Duxsoup but keep the outreach narrow, and specific, and address a real need. The reason joins a community isn't why they stay, so have rituals baked in to encourage that such as digest emails.
Slightly unrelated, but I'm looking to join a slack related to either launching your own business or AI.
If anyone has any they want to promote or recs, send me a DM on twitter (link in bio)
Hey, Sharath!
This should help you get started or serve as a reminder no matter where you are in your journey to build a strong and active Slack community.
1. Create an onboarding process: Create an onboarding process that introduces new users to your Slack community. This should include a welcome message, instructions on how to use the platform, and an introduction to the community guidelines.
2. Don't underestimate the power or a common channel: Although having specific channels for specific discussions streamlines the whole process of bringing more people on board, it is very important to have an active and engaging common discussion channel.
3. Promote engagement: Encourage members to engage with each other through discussion threads, polls, Q&As, and other activities.
4. Facilitate introductions: Introduce new members to the community and encourage existing members to welcome them.
5. Use bots: Use bots to automate tasks and make it easier for members to interact with each other.
6. Host events: Host events such as webinars, Q&A sessions, and other activities to keep the community engaged.
7. Encourage feedback: Ask members for feedback and suggestions on how to improve the community.
8. Reward members: Offer rewards to members who are active in the community, such as discounts or exclusive access to content.
We host our community on Slack and recently wrote a blog with tips from our experience. Hopefully these are helpful!
+ Talk to your community to ensure you're building a place where people want to go and get value
+ Know your ‘why’ — once you have the above conversations, be sure you can articulate why you’re bringing your community together, and why you’re building it on Slack.
+ Write a community code of conduct to set expectations from the outset about what your community allows, what it doesn’t, and what will happen if those expectations aren’t met.
+ Structure your Slack in a way that facilitates conversation with the right channels and decide if your community will be open/closed
+ Onboard members and check in over time — be present and welcoming to keep members engaged and evolve your Slack community based on their feedback
+ Ask others to share their expertise and facilitate connections between members
+ Acknowledge active and contributing members and their work publicly
+ Model the behavior you expect in your community! Maybe obvious, but you really have to live and breathe all of the above and be a great example for your community members to see success.

Some tips, quite similar to Discord:
✅ Create channels for specific topics or discussions to encourage participation and engagement.
✅ Encourage open communication and collaboration by fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment.
✅ Regularly share updates, resources, and events to keep the community informed and engaged + Encourage community members to share their own content and experiences to foster a sense of ownership and involvement.
✅ Host regular events or discussions to facilitate networking and collaboration.
✅ Provide support and guidance to community members to help them navigate the platform and make the most of its features.
✅ Monitor and moderate discussions to ensure they remain respectful and on-topic.
I think the reason a community is built is because members come for one thing or another. So keep that one thing still active, give them value, and make everyone contribute. This will be a great way to grow a community.
