- Hey Greg, if you're based in London, this free event we're running on 16th March in collab with Apple might be handy! https://the-dots.com/events/cultivating-community-with-guap-14081
- @Daniel Hawley-Lingham just tweeted from both accounts on Twitter. I agree that followers are not your audience, and I wrote about this a million times before.
- @Daniel Hawley-Lingham i have multiple twitter accounts, the one you checked is my business account. I have another account which stands at 41.2K followers.
- @Taleb Kabbara I am not trying to expose you but your twitter profile has 3128 followers. Regardless of this - followers are not community. They're not really even followers in any traditional sense. Maybe a few are, but creating a community through some sense of membership is something different... and notoriously difficult to build and maintain.
- Have a clear value proposition and be ruthless with asking for referrals and people who you should cross promote with. You can buy lists etc but I don’t recommend growing in that way.
- As someone who have built a following on both LinkedIn (30,000+ connections) and Twitter (41,000+ followers), I can confidently say that after 11 years doing this, I came to the conclusion that building a community is amazing, but in the sense that you feel you are providing value to a crowd on a regular basis.Here's how to build a community: https://talebkabbara.co.uk/how-to-build-a-community/
- Great Question!
- If you're joining an existing community, get stuck in! Don't wait for people to invite you in (like I used to). You've got to ask questions, respond to people and generally be a useful and active member of that community.Building from scratch I'm less familiar with, but I'd think it would start with just being a kind and interesting person!
- It depends on what audience you want to gain
