📚 A great book recommendation by @teaguns in the feature we did about how they built the @CommunityClubHQ community and are working on @Commsor: "Connected, how your friends' friends' friends' affect everything you feel, think and do" by Nicholas Christakis and James Fowler

💡 Reframe if you're a product or tech person: "Spending a lot of time to build up and engage with a community might feel like a distraction, but it’s well worth it. After all, you’re building something for your users and not yourself." Great advice from Tuomas Artman at Linear

"Before you even talk about product changes or involving people in potential beta tests from your community, you first-and-foremost need to feel like their voice is getting heard. Make you're super responsive to their asks first!" – June Cho, Developer Relations at @zeplin

How June, DevRel at Zeplin used to evaluate his pre-COVID 😷 meetup/conference talks: "The most significant measure of success is when there's almost no one looking at their phone or laptop. If they do, I know where I need to improve..."

I built communities that created 83m new customers in 2020 with this marketing framework

I'm curious your thoughts

A startup marketing manifesto:

[Build With Users @buildwithusers]

The. Essence: "In community building, the most important aspect is knowing who your members are. Otherwise, you just have tons of different people in there. That makes it really hard to create relevant content and get people matched up to relevant other people." by @NoeleFlowers

💎 Some words of wisdom: "When building a #community, involve your early fans. The few people that showed up first. It gives you people to lean on and build things out in a way that serves your community best" https://t.co/ztkVCjJhDo

The term "Community" is thrown around a lot today, especially in creator circles.

Let's be clear about one thing -- if you're not fostering connections between your readers, you don't have a community, you have an audience.

"Without a continuous feedback channel like our Slack community, we would probably build the wrong things for our product" – @artman from @linear_app
