What's the best resource (free or paid) you'd recommend to learn community building?

Not an expert. But I am building Micro SaaS Builder community at Micro SaaS HQ for my subscribers. The ecosystem is more around Micro SaaS, Info Products, Newsletters etc.

This is what I learnt from my experience and I am trying to improve the experience for members as much as I can.

• Community takes huge amount of time (really huge time)
• You need to be passionate about the community.
• Understand the core goal of the community. (I think in your case, its more about your SaaS product)
• Keep the interactions warm. (Answer every question)
• Not everyone has time. Send a weekly email with updates, what's happening in the community.

Additional points if you are building one for your SaaS:

• Mostly in the initial stages of the product, people use it to reach out for any issues/suggestions. So start with a Slack/Discord. Preferably go with Slack as most people use Slack these days by default.
• Share product tips, success stories from existing customers.
• Get on a call once in a while with your subscribers like a Open Q&A (or just for a casual conversation/product roadmap discussion)

What is your community about?
