What are some effective methods you used to build a community on Slack?

sure i will share with you .. where are you from ?

It's very important to be original and genuinely interested in products and discussions. Also, PH seemingly favors profiles with a good streak.

Are you asking about building a Slack workspace or a community? The rules for building a community are irrespective of whether or not you are building on Slack or Discord or at any other place.

@5harath Hey Sharath 👋 In a previous experience, I had the opportunity to start and grow an exclusive, by-invitation-only Slack community of 100+ members (240+ posts/month, NPS 80). Here are my 5 best practices for building a Slack community:

1. Invite new members with a signup form — it sets expectations and starts the conversation
2. Welcome new members — Send a message to new members and invite them to introduce themselves to the community
3. Trunk-based management — To start, keep it simple. Less channels help filter out the noise and make the conversations focused.
4. Promote best Threads on social — it helps raise awareness and reward the best contributors.
5. Measure results — track metrics to analyse performances and improve.

I published a presentation here that shares some insights and best practices. Hope it helps! ✌️

Just getting engaged with others like upvoting and sharing thoughts. Also, providing suggestions about they discussions or their product launches.

To build a community on Slack, I found that the following methods were effective: Identifying and inviting key members: To get the community started, I identified and invited key members who were influential in the community and could help attract others to join. Creating relevant and engaging channels: I created channels that were relevant to the community and would be of interest to members, and I made sure to regularly post engaging content in those channels to keep the conversation going. Providing resources and support: I made sure to provide resources and support to members, such as links to helpful articles and tools, and I made myself available to answer any questions or provide assistance. Encouraging participation and interaction: I encouraged members to participate in discussions and share their thoughts and ideas, and I made sure to respond to their comments and engage with them. Promoting the community: I promoted the community to potential members through social media, email, and other channels to help attract new members.

@5harath I am following this: 1. Set up channels to get people talking 2. Set up private channels where necessary 3. Measure activity in each channel 4. Invite people to join your community 5. Make them feel welcome 6. Promote your community across all channels 7. Moderate as best you can 8. Vet new members before onboarding 9. Deliver value-packed content 10. Engage with members regularly 11. Run competitions that get people involved

I wonder how to attract new members to a community =((((( Always struggle at the first step

I recently joined a community on Slack. I got their referral link thru the agency I am coordinating with. They included their invite via the welcome letter they sent to my email.
