What is a core value of community building according to you?

I think it can definitely be different for different communities. At the heart of it is being aligned in the same direction and being willing to design value for everyone, as we're all at different stages of the community journey. It would be interesting to ask the question for the community you serve... For Product Hunt for example, what is the core value? Helping people create and discover successful products?

Collaboration with people who share the same passion, open-mindedness to approaches different than yours and contribution to a greater purpose, definitely.

Having a clear purpose so there is alignment and enthusiasm

Networking and Helping others

To me, it's being service-minded and finding ways to provide value to others.

Being honest and helpful. Think of each other and support one another. Any community has a topic that attracts like-minded people and creates discussions around it.

For me, it's all about knowledge sharing and having a sense of belonging with the like minded people that otherwise would be impossible to find in the offline world.

I have three: transparency, integrity, professionalism

Be genuinely helpful and respect others and their time.

Managing relationships

A group of people who can provide shared value or support to one another, personally and/or professionally. Lately, I've seen it overused as a buzzword for people to put themselves in the spotlight, but there's obviously value in community building when done right.

Provide feedback on your solution for the perceived painpoints.

For me it's connecting others! Facilitating connections among other community members with similar interests.

Bringing forces of the value system together in one place.

Being a provider, not just a consumer.

Engagement. Whether it is socially motivated, educational/informative, or for networking - the Community leaders must be engaged.

Build your Social Village by finding your niche audience to foster proper growth and feedback. Find a group of 20-30 people you resonate with on at least three subject areas and build a small niche community around those individuals. You can do this with various software such as Clubhouse Clubs, Twitter Groups, Discord Servers, direct messaging, etc. Make it your goal as a community leader to help others and begin to work together to help each other to grow.

Taking care of the common interests of people.

Focus on UoV - A user “produces” a unit of value (UoV) for other users to “consume”. As a community builder, your focus should be around it initially and ever.
