Turn Off Your Auto-DMđ
Donât get me wrong, If used right, Auto-DMs are a good feature!đ But theyâre lacking one important part: A personal touchđ„ âThe way a member joins your community determines how active theyâre going to be.â If youâre welcoming them with an auto-generated message, theyâre much more likely to not even be active at all in your communityđ
ââïž BUT, If you actually take the time to make a personalized Loom for them, showing them around and inviting them to a call,đ where you just want to get to know them. Theyâre much more likely to be active afterwards!đââïž Look, we as humans seek interaction with other humans. If you tell them to introduce themselves,đŁïž theyâve automatically started interacting with members in your community. Because there will always be some people welcoming them. Well, itâll be at least youđ PLUS, You can also use this method to book more onboarding callsâïž Just tell them: âIf you found this call helpful, Iâd be happy for you to make a post about it in the community. This will help me speak to more people. Thank you!â Thereâs one downside though, itâll take you more time to welcome everyoneâ° But thatâs what an engaged community is worth :)
