In community we need to be connecting and creating paths with people constantly. To be talked about in a positive way is to feel belonging and appreciation.
When we are talked about, we are pulled in. We feel wanted and appreciated. We feel like we bring something of value.
For example:
- do an interview with them: text, podcast or video
- pull together a weekly newsletter featuring members and their content
- thank and celebrate them, privately or publicly
- give them shout outs on social media, chat spaces or forums
- write about them within your community
- summarize what they’ve said elsewhere for your community
- get creative with memes 🙃
The more you talk about people, the more they will remember you, keep coming back and hopefully help you grow by talking about how much your community cares for you.
