βWe cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community... Our ambitions must be broad enough to include the aspirations and needs of others, for their sakes and for our own.β- Cesar Chavez

Community Building 101(The tweak that triumphed) covered the concepts and procedures for community development.
This section investigates the depth of its detonation.
You can explode your community into the stratosphere by deploying the strategies that I will share with you.
Communities can grow rapidly if they are planted in the precise soil and looked after.
And we should not underestimate the potential of a good seed sown in the right terrain.
Those of us who studied agricultural science, or whatever it is now called, understood what "Loamy soil" is for planting, decades before the arrival of the artificial that we see in today's marketplaces.
Thus, regardless of man-made NPKs, if you have the correct soil and seed, you will do well and thrive.
In its summation stage, Community Building 101 placed a strong focus on the dos and don'ts.
Community Explosion 102 will teach us how to properly position and skyrocket a community.
You can become an expert or scientist in any field with enough study and application.
For instance, #SHOPIFY AUSTRALIA.
βSHOPIFY AUSTRALIA π¦πΊβ
took a little while before it gathered traction.
Nonetheless, #SHOPIFY SELLERS SOCIETY and the likes,
βSHOPIFY SELLERS SOCIETY | ποΈβ
did not because all lessons learned in the formal were reinforced for the latter and the time it took to build another.
Now, For real. Keep an eye on your communities if you want to skyrocket 'em.
See your digital asset(s) as a money-tree seedling. Because they are. Mostly in this second digital renaissance.
What you concentrate on, expands. Like we all know.
The same philosophy holds to community explosion.
Regardless of how gorgeous a garden looks. It demands a watchdog. Otherwise, be prepared to bear the consequences of your negligence.
Winds, pests, and weeds will disrupt your hard work. And that would drive anyone nuts.
While on the field, pay attention to the language people use throughout interactions. And moderate the forum where necessary.
Strengthen your group rules. However, I chose to decrease the hassles with my entry criterion for reasons best known to me.
Yes, expect to see one Judas in every twelve.
Be mindful of links; I'm thinking of setting up a particular phone to check all links before approval. If your responsibility is to approve external ties. That way, even if it is malicious, it will cause no harm.
The algorithm dislikes particular types of words, such as curse words, abuses and molestations.
Keep a close eye on them and remove all of them before they get out of control.
Meta has no regard for your community. Bear that in mind.
I've witnessed a guy lose a thriving community of over 50,000 active members. He's still healing from the trauma.
If you have to run an ad, please f*ckin do so.
Exploit the admin assist. That's a huge leveraging system.
Advertisements are a guaranteed way to rent an eyeball.
It's comparable to using a stone to kill ten birds or more.
HOW TO BECOME A LAMBORGHINI IN THE TRAFFIC JAM OF HEAPS.
I see so many decrepit groups all over the space.
I assure you that I do not join them.
Don't run with the Joneses.
Be unique. Create mind-boggling things.
Once I see one with Meta's default display photo, whether you have 100k members or more. F*ck it. I won't join them.
As a subscriber to these un-diluted letters and a friend in the good life philosophy, make beautiful things since the algorithms will always favour the creatives.
Uniqueness is a natural disposition.
Saturation is the new normal.
Organic reach is becoming pricier and out of control.
FROM SEED TO SUCCESS: CULTIVATING BREED GROWTH.
The sun has set, and the coffee attendant has flipped the closing sign...
Finally, strategically position your community to attract the appropriate audience.
In Shopify Australia, I occasionally check the analytics to see what's going on. Geographical location of gigs.
Discrepancies between gigs and clients, and I intentionally share the community to attract clients and keep them active or balance the equation therein.
Remember that the Algorithm enjoys bustle. Thus, get them interacting in your digital avalanche.
I don't want to bore you with this letter, but I hope you appreciate it since I feel good about writing it.
Perhaps we can do Community Building 103. If experience permits.
As we near the close of our conversation, let me leave you with this deep thought in the back of my mind. Please keep it confidential.
Let's make this space a secret cult of an unscripted society. After all, that is the purpose of the weekendchronicle.org.Β
"When you meet the needs of many, you also meet the needs of one. And that one individual is YOU!" A quote from MJ DeMarco's Millionaire Fast Lane.
