๐จHow to Grow a Community (Without Losing Your Mind)
If you want more members, hereโs the trick: Donโt shout โJoin me!โ just light the wick. Post what you love, post what is true, Let curiosity do the recruiting for you. Show up with rhythm, show up with heart, Not salesy noise, just honest art. People donโt join for rules or fame, They join because your space feels safe. Now keeping them? Ah, thatโs the game. Donโt build a crowd, learn their names. Ask real questions, spark small play, Give them a reason to show up today. Celebrate effort, not just the best, Invite the quiet, hype the rest. Create small wins, low-pressure fun, Thatโs how communities become one. Consistency beats viral flair, A little daily says โI care.โ Do that long enough, hereโs the twist, You wonโt chase membersโฆ theyโll insist. By Jason Strickland The Art of Poetry Community
