@Cindi Holland honestly I just made myself do it. I was full of fear, anxiety, self-doubt, worried what people would think about me. My first couple of videos were horrible and I was so scared to post them that I honestly sweat through my clothes. I just kept doing it and putting myself out there.

Good question. I think everyone wonders about this at some point. I've only been running my community for seven months, but I've noticed engagement goes up and down no matter what you do. I tried weekly prizes, monthly giveaways, leaderboard competitions. All the stuff people say works. What I found was that chasing engagement pulled me out of integrity. I started posting for likes instead of value. And the prizes brought out the worst behavior. People were posting just for points, spamming the feed, and it turned other members off. I killed all of it. No more prizes. No more leaderboard chases. Now I'm just focused on being intentional with what I post. Real insights. Real questions. Leading by example instead of trying to game the system. My engagement dropped hard after I made the switch. But the people who do show up now are actually engaged. They're not here for points. They're here because the content matters. I think that's the trade. You can have high engagement from people chasing prizes, or real engagement from people who care. You can't have both. The other piece is the comments. Engagement isn't just about getting people to post. It's about starting real conversations in the replies. Ask questions that matter. Show people you're actually reading what they wrote. That's where the real connection happens.
