CommunityOne Builders Help: Growth Update

huh first, i think u should be a bit kinder to yourself. after all, it is not easy to get to 1000, becauseyou are already better than 90% of the server, it's great to have a goal, but the important thing is to enjoy the journey, and if u gonna get there later, that's okay

second, do you have any good ideas on the flow of the server

for exampl,e how many are coming in vs leaving

third, take this as an opperutnity, u can now look at yuor server closely and then decide what to do, u can decide to change the metric, u can decide to change the marketing or anything in between

Growth is the best motivator, and I hope I get back on track soon.

Thank you so much for your kind words they genuinely made me feel better.
I think I felt that way because these days I see so many new servers reaching 1,000+ members through scammy giveaways, dating chaos, and nonstop promotion all at once.
But I truly love the journey of staying genuine, building something pure, and creating a real family.

Yeah, Im trying to improve my marketing strategy. I’ve done everything I could on my own, working only from my phone

btw, whats ur server id again, i can take a look

Sure, 1062427177326497863

so people are chatting 35 message per day per person, which is like a lot a lot!

have u thought about hosting som events where your members have to make groups (some sort of competition)

so that they have natural incentives to bring their friends

Yup we got 60k msg per month
We once had crossed 150k msg/month miletstone too

i am sure that they are very willing to bring their friends there

the thing about engagement is that yoou should think about engagement as "conversion", like if there are things that you want community member to help out, they are gonna be more than willing to

Pixel pursuit, it was very successfull
event had around 80 photography submission counting from first of this event

And then we had She isn't Alone global writing contest
Longest running event of 6 months and no one participated

then jist do what works? which is pixel pursuit?

We had a lot of fun events like
Knight's gambit for chess
The rose station for writing again
Nature's canva
Raghi design contest

also another thing I wonder if you can get people to make youtube shorts for you talking abotut the best indian social discord

what prize do u give out

Pixel pursuit was casual photography contest
I asked everyone to dump gallery and it gone really insane i never imagined those skilled unreal photography

Thats the problem
I'm still teen i can't earn in india legally
I dont have pocket money
The only reward i can give is rank nothing else
I can't find sponsors for events

So yea..

We do parliament session at every saturday midnight
I'm planning with my team to live stream that stage session on yt

I don't have pc or laptop so i can't do streams myself im dependent on them

I tried youtube shorts and that didn't work
Will create one more content myself i think
Im feeling burnout honestly

have u trid to go out and find a sponsor

I don't know where to find it
Sponsor based events on discord is very new concept never saw anyone doing this
Even if i do find a sponsor and what if no one participate in event
I'm trying to find platform where can i find sponsors

Umm..

i see.. how many mods do u have

1 admin 2 manager 2 mods 3 owner
Everyone is active at moderation currently

huh i think one of th thing that u should think about is to recruit for members to help you out

so for example, if you are not good at youtube shorts, mayb someone in your community can be great at it and they will teach you

How about long content and streams instead
We already started working on it

i dont know, i know people get consistent new viewers from twitch, but its really hard work

and also I think twitch is not great with visibitliies, so u got to make clips and then put them on youtube for visibilitis

It requires clickbait content

By the way i was working on something today

Like fixing some old webhook content from server with new data

And record it for star partnership application

I got server base for the community but its hard to put everything on single mobile screen recording

ah have u talked to about the communityone star partnership program?

I only remember we had talked about this on Office Hour and then i checked web page of it

the way i see it, and i truly truly mean it, engagement is key at the end of the day, we will work on more ways to help you monetize, but I can tell you that whwn we pitch to advertisor, we wont talk about how big a server is, message per member will be our KPI for engagement

good things come slowly

and having solid fundamental allows you to scale in the future

btw, do u do the marketing in english or in your local language

English

Bangwing is english community with hindi majority people for now

Worked on that very carefully 🐥

And how about these all :
message per member
participants per events
posts per member
voice hour per member

To new members its social community for healthy human interaction and activity forums as i always say
Yk i always asks few questions to members at joining

Like their hobbies, what games they play and what are their top singers on spotify

If their hobbies are art writing movie or anything like that we suggest them our related activity forums

If they play minecraft we invite them to our minecraft server

If they listen to music i ask them to give me playlist and lets listen together whenever you are free

And this is how i keep guiding new member in convo and introduce it to the server

I always get lovely sweet response from them
Like a lot
Server is amazing, people are so creative, staff teams are good etc etc

New member always stays at server

The thing is we are lacking visiblity and join rates and i can't find exact cause of it
Its happening when we discontinued disboard but i clearly remember i never had a good member from disboard
