If you would like to grow your audience and maintain that growth, a vibrant community is key.
A community is more than just an audience.
A vibrant community is engaged, connected, and interactive; it’s dynamic and fueled through participation.
There are different types of community, so you’ll need to reflect or experiment and determine what your community is or will be like.
All communities are living entities; they require care and attention.
At its’ core, a vibrant community is centred around building relationship. That’s why being consistent with the ways in which you interact with your community is important.
Social media, newsletters, business hours, and follow up phone calls or emails all require consistency, so find what you are able to commit to at this time and be consistent with it. Keep that conversation going.
What consistency looks like for you and how frequently you interact with your community may change over time.
Whether daily social media posts or weekly shared content, your audience will value the routine and your continued commitment to them. They’ll know you value them – and their time.
So, find a routine of communication that you can handle at this time, then make it a priority. Your future, vibrant community will appreciate it.
