So we're testing out this hashtag theory. If you want to organize your community by a topic or provide a way to quickly find all posts by a certain category of members <all musicians> #music might be the hashtag. <Testing this for The Classifieds> <<yes, that's an affiliate link but the community is free for Skool owners to join and public for anyone looking for communities to join>> Be aware that hashtags actually allow you to quickly link to courses in your classroom tab. EX: #CHAI makes me happy which now reminds me to go change the name of this course page. BUT if there is no course associated with #music, it makes it easier to put that hashtag in the search bar and find anyone who used it to tag their post about their community. This could lend itself to additional "categories" within the community without adding the category buttons. You'll need to create a list of those hashtags and include them in your START HERE course so new members know how to find or tag their niche. What would be your top 5 hashtags you might use in your community?

I wanted to see what happens when you give members a simple, playful way to say thank you… without tying it to content or value. So here’s the version I’m testing: • A tiny intro that says “If this space helps you… here’s a fun way to say cheers” • A clean CTA button • No pressure • No expectation • No pitch Mostly I’m curious about what people do when appreciation is optional, light, and fun. If you ever try Buy Me A Chai in your own community… notice how people show up, not how often. Want to try mine? It’s in the classroom tab.
