Communities go through phases — you’ll see members come and go, so it’s important to always be sharing and growing. The tips below help you grow your membership and keep your wider audience engaged.
Tips to engage an audience and grow a Community
Start sharing content with early members right away
Together you can try out Kajabi Community features like:
- Live Room with video chat, breakout groups, screen share, and recordings.
- Channels to facilitate communication and share the experience together.
- Challenges with progress wheels and growth trackers for accountability.
Tip: Consider making these early members your Community moderators so they’ll feel empowered to support the Community with lively discussions.
Post exciting teasers and updates on social media
Use your social media accounts to engage your audience:
- Instagram polls are an interactive way to get feedback, collect social proof for future sharing, and build anticipation. Responses can be re-shared for social proof once your Community is live.
- Speak to your audience and tell them why you created this space and how members will benefit. Captions are a must with short attention spans.
- Weave in social proof to trigger FOMO. Initial member posts, members chatting, and exciting Challenges are a great way to attract more members.
