“Any community will always have different levels of engagement—what I call lurkers or the quiet ones, then fans, super fans, and finally advocates. There will always be varying degrees of participation in every community. As a community builder, you have to decide: Do I want ten thousand members, and do I expect all of them to be vocal? That’s not the kind of community Geeks on the Beach is. We have about five hundred active participants at the event, and around two thousand who I consider fans. As long as we meet the needs of those who are actively engaged, I believe it's worthwhile.” - Tina Amper, Strategic Director of Geeks on a Beach Watch, listen or read the full insight at https://lnkd.in/gJg6W3A7 Nonton, dengar atau baca wawasan lengkapnya di https://lnkd.in/gR2FTZvG 观看、收听或阅读全文，请访问 https://lnkd.in/gVDs9Nvy Xem, nghe hoặc đọc toàn bộ thông tin chi tiết tại https://lnkd.in/gMX9wKnp #CommunityBuilding #TrueFans #Engagement #CreatorsJourney #BusinessGrowth #ActiveCommunity #CustomerNeeds #Dialogue #SustainableGrowth #SupportYourFans #BRAVEpodcast

Happy Bridgerton day to all who celebrate 🔥👑 Something we can learn from Bridgerton? Yes, I’m going to go there. Community. Since the show took to our screens in 2020, it created a phenomenon. But a lot of its success can be associated with their engaged community. Community building is a very underrated tool, especially in hospitality. It's for this reason, building communities will be a key feature of a brand's marketing strategy. Customers want to feel like they are a part of your brand, know the inside scoop and be valued. Building a community with your customers, can bring many benefits to your business such as: ↳ Build more meaningful relationships with your customers ↳ Create genuine and authentic conversations ↳ High organic engagement ↳ Improved customer service ↳ Learn and understand their needs and wants To me, community marketing is more than just a growth tool, it's building a vibe to attract your tribe and allow a business to really elevate their brand in a more meaningful way.

I visited with members of the Tamarack Institute for Community Engagement community for much of August, walking, listening, and learning... and making shared plans to better enable local communities to thrive. (The visits shared a theme: local collaboratives holding a bold result and centering people who face the barriers of structural oppression are key to the just transition we all need.)    Questions (and the responses they seed) often pave the path to good work. Here are some questions I’ll remember from the weeks as a guest on other lands:    On trust:  🌱 What are our practices for seeing, hearing and seeking to understand others?   🌱 What builds trust in groups, and how can we contribute to the building?   🌱 What words, stories, images, and art could bridge divides and lead to shared goals?    On change:  🌱 How do we think change happens?   🌱 How will we stay inspired for as long as it takes?  🌱 How will we name and put aside the things that distract from what matters?    On mindsets:  🌱 What is hard to admit?  🌱 Where do we need to be challenged? (Thank you, Adam Lerner.)  🌱 What truths are we learning, that must proceed reconciliation? Jorge Garza and I will host a conversation on offering context, crafting questions and listening for information that can help collaboratives take up bold work at EngageFest this Fall: https://lnkd.in/gjYcj2YK. We’d love to explore the beauty of questions with you.

It's never about numbers It's about genuine connections Building a thriving community is beyond running after numbers ! It's about fostering genuine connections, sparking meaningful conversations, and creating a space where every voice feels heard and valued. Here are some ways we can build a stronger community: 1. Listen actively: Make sure to respond to comments and messages. 2. Share stories: Share your experiences and invite others to share theirs. 3. Support others: Engage with content from your community members. 4. Celebrate successes: Highlight achievements and milestones within the community. Let’s engage, inspire, and grow together.

To be honest, I've always felt that being part of a community isn't just about fitting in, it's about rolling up our sleeves and making a difference together. 💪 Because when we come together to create, to support, and to uplift, that's when belonging truly matters. 🫂 So, what's your take on the essence of belonging?

We're officially in the zone of @SXSW PanelPicker - please consider voting for my session, "Building Real Community (That's Worth Paying For)" (which I did for a decade at the List before it was acquired, and which I have done for clients & about which I frequently consult!). https://lnkd.in/egkd6vXp (Photo is of my mainstage panel w/ Christina Wallace Merici Vinton Kathleen Warner (she/her) & Kristin Jones back in the day, which was a panel of Listers) Description: What builds community? It's such a buzzword, and everybody *thinks* they have it - but there is no community without a sense of purpose, belonging, and shared goals. If you can provide that to your users it will create something larger than just a transactional relationship - it will create loyalty, kinship, and the basis for a long-standing connection, reinforced by the bonds between your users. (It also creates trust, which you should be very careful not to abuse.) Community done right can foster real friendships, provide real support, spark real results - and create real value.
