We started Healthviva to share whatever we know about digital health and thought folks would like it which they did.
Now our goal is to make a more engaging digital health community, we started a slack group. Its been a slow growth but we'd like to take it to the next level and also have folks participate more on the content on the newsletter, discussions etc.
need tips and I am sure Indiehackers community could help, Thx :)
Have you seen circle.so? That might be a great way for you to make a more engaging, open community!
Got it, I have used it and can possibly try to use it but we'd need a dedicated person to do it possibly.
Slack is somewhat easier, thoughts?
Slack is easier for sure, it's just less "premium" feeling - if the community is a massive part of your business, then not a bad idea to use circle
Got it!
I think it might be worth exploring the idea of having a paid section to your community - similar to what @levelsio did with Nomad List. This will promote exclusivity and can promote itself due to the type of people within the community - they want to help others and recommend it to others.
Not everyone in your newsletter is interested in joining the community let alone reads every version of your newsletter - that is something to keep in mind when trying to get people to convert.
I'm happy to give you a hand setting up the membership aspect of the community if you would like to go this direction.
Appreciate the inputs @corymayfield, let me check it out and also happy to chat and get your direction on the membership
