Build an amazing community.
Post awesome content.
Members will show up and start commenting.
That's how it works, right?
𝗪𝗥𝗢𝗡𝗚!!
The one thing I notice consistently across so many communities, are community owners asking "𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝗜 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝘆 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲?"
We've been told that it's a simple matter of posting stuff that they want to comment on.
But quite honestly it doesn't always work that way.
The reality is that as a community owner, 𝘄𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 in our communities.
One thing I do in every single post is include a CTA (𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯) that tells my members exactly how to engage in the comments. I don't leave it open by saying "what's your thoughts" or "anyone else?"
𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗹𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲.
Instead, I create something 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰, something 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝗯𝘃𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗱.
For example:
𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗧𝗔𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀?
