Community Building Weekly Round Up

Every week I spend hours researching the world of community building so that you don't have to.

Strength of bonds > Number of bonds

Jake Paul has 50M followers on social media. His paid community flopped. @HarryDry's pal has 1700. His paid community is thriving.

Trusted Spaces

By Harold Jarche

I belong to several online communities. They are on platforms controlled by the community. For example, the perpetual beta coffee club is on a private WordPress site. I monitor all conversations but the community of about 90 people is self-policing. We have a monthly Zoom call which is recorded but the recording is deleted after a couple of weeks. I do not want these conversations to sit around for a long time and perhaps be taken out of context. We have nothing to hide, but we do not have to share our conversations with the world.

Networks are not communities. Communities are trusted spaces run by and for members. Facebook is not a trusted space.
