Start with a clear mission, engage genuinely, and share valuable content. Consistency and inclusivity help strengthen the community!

Sean Parker · Answer

Dive into an already existing community where your potential customers are. Get close to them not in a self-promotion way but in a genuine manner.

Answer

Involve your customers… like the empty chair in meeting rooms of Amazon. Prioritize their voice and let them feel heard.

I appreciate the comments so far, but what I'm having a hard time understanding is "where?". Where do I share the valuable content, and where do I even find them to get them involved?

Answer

Build in public and keep it authentic. Feature your best customers, collab with others in your space, and host IRL or digital events (like AMAs) to connect with folks. Stay responsive and kick knowledge to help em out when you can. 💪

Jason Matthew Lewis · Answer

Definitely prioritize your customers' voices! A few ideas: 1) Feature customer stories, reviews & feedback prominently on your site/app 2) Host regular community events, AMAs, forums to engage them directly 3) Involve top customers in beta testing & product feedback sessions 4) Spotlight community contributions & user generated content 5) Offer loyalty perks & referral incentives to turn customers into advocates. Customer obsession is key!

Absolutely, a strong community is key to shaping a product that people truly love!

Janak Patel · Answer

@hhn @deeprooted @rahulparmar2405 @hellofahmid Explore Slack community, Discord, Twitter, and LinkedIn where your targeted people hang out. Help them and send them connection requests. After connecting, send your community link after some time through DM, if they like they will join there. You have to specify the discussion topics that they might be interested in. That's how you can build community, it takes time though.
