From FOMO to Fellow Feeling: Why Building Community Matters We've all been there: scrolling endlessly through feeds filled with picture-perfect moments, wondering if we're missing out (cue the #FOMO). But what if online communities were about more than just likes and follower counts? The truth is, thriving online communities foster genuine connections and shared knowledge. Building a strong online community isn't about fleeting trends – it's about creating a space where people feel understood, empowered, and valued. Here's how it benefits you: Find your niche: Escape the overwhelming vastness of the internet and connect with people who share your passions. Learn and grow: Spark meaningful conversations, share knowledge, and gain valuable insights from others. Build your network: Expand your professional circle and find potential collaborators or mentors. Ready to ditch the FOMO and embrace the power of community?

As a community builder, I’ve always believed that to truly understand my community and provide the best experience, I need to experience it firsthand. However, managing a large community of independent professionals across SEA and ANZ, I sometimes wonder if I fully grasp the unique challenges and goals of an independent - especially since I’m not one myself. Recently, I had an enlightening conversation with Paz Pisarski from The Community Collective (proud to be part of Cohort #5!), and her insights shifted my perspective. Here are some key takeaways: ✨ Curiosity over experience: Not being part of your own community can actually be an asset - it encourages you to explore community needs more deeply, rather than relying solely on personal experiences and assumptions. ✨ Ask the right questions: By focusing on asking the right questions, you can uncover insights that truly reflect your members’ challenges and aspirations. ✨ Value unique perspectives: Learn to take a step back and appreciate the distinctive challenges your members face, leading to a more nuanced understanding and connection. ✨ Collaborate with knowledge experts: My role as a community manager isn’t to know everything, but to connect my community with the right resources and experts, helping them unlock new opportunities and knowledge. These insights reinforced for me that curiosity and open-mindedness are essential in building a truly resilient community. By embracing what I don’t know, I can actually better serve and connect with the professionals I support. #Community #Engagement #Growth #Futureofwork #Independentprofessional

One of the most important community management strategies is developing a shared purpose. Strong communities with unified goals: - Drive value for your business and your customers. - Give you market insights, shaping where you invest and focus. - Directly support your biggest strategic goals. - Lower market risks and volatility. But aligning the interests of key stakeholders - your CEO, other departments, members, partners - and getting buy-in can be challenging. And if you don’t have everyone on board, you risk community being sidelined (or worse, cut from your budget). So, if you lead a community (or want to incorporate one), how do you explain all the ways community can benefit business objectives? Learn how to make your case during Higher Logic's May 16 webinar!
