Get your group activity started!

Once most of your group has joined your new community — here are a few things you can do to get things started:

💬 Welcome your group:

• As new community members join your group, make them feel welcome! Make an intro post to set the tone, and if you’re up for it, you can also DM community members as they join. This gives them a personal welcome to your new group!

📝 Set Group Rules:

• Set clear and concise rules for your group to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all members. You can also add guidelines for posting content and interacting with other members.

👥 Engage with Your Members:

• Engage with your members by responding to their posts, asking for feedback, and creating a welcoming and supportive environment. Encourage members to share their experiences and connect with each other.
  • Ask questions that spur conversation within your group. It could be about preferences, opinions, or future content ideas. People love giving their input and seeing how their views compare to others.
  • Ask the community to submit questions for upcoming talks.
  • Keep the group informed about updates, changes, or exciting news related to the group's focus.
  • Designate specific days or weeks for themed discussions. For instance, "Motivation Mondays" for sharing inspirational stories.
  • Encourage members to share their own content, such as personal experiences within the group's theme. Acknowledge and appreciate these contributions publicly.
  • Keep the group informed about updates, changes, or exciting news related to the group's focus.

📅 Plan Events:

• Plan events to engage with your community to keep them active and motivated. You can create events (such as a GoodTalk, Challenge, etc.) that tie into your group's interests or health concerns.

🗣️ Spread the Word on your Socials

• A great way to get people to join your Group is to share it on your social media pages. You can start sharing when you tap the three dots in the top-right corner of your Group. Tell people why you started the group, why they should join, and how it will benefit them.

✨ Maintain activity:

• Nobody wants to join a group that is empty! Start a new discussion every day to keep things lively and current, and always keep an eye on your notifications and responses.

👤 Member Profiles:

• Encourage your members to add a profile photo and fill out the rest of their profiles.
