Why don't people want to join your community?

it takes time and intention. and there isn't any growth hack. building real relationships is hard but it's the real unlock for a community that becomes exceptionally-meaningful and valuable to all.

Hi Felix12777,

Some quick answers:

1. Probably because it doesn't provide them value. The way I like to think about it is why I myself don't join some online communities while I engage in others. I dont join some because it's not what I'm looking for (or it's low quality or a ghost town). For some I relaly engage in because I'm interested in the content and the people are pretty responsive.
2. Creating content they want.
3. Not sure, still working on this one :)

Hope this helps, Bill

Because most communities are just platforms/pages without the interactions people crave for when they join a circle. Communities should be about sharing, inputs, support and it works even with just 10 people, but it starts to fall apart when the number rises.

Devrelate.io is a service that helps you build a community if I understand correctly. I'm in a founders group with the owner of that company and he says that building a community is a lot more difficult than people realize. It might be a service that you find some value in, maybe it's worth looking into.

I built a community for financial startups and it has a decent number of people right now but I don't have the time or energy to maintain it and admittedly, it's falling apart because I'm not managing it well. so there are a few different types of communities. I know it's important to define roles and delegate.
