\u201cHow should we build a community?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI like how you have built this community, what should we do to make our community more active?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been getting more such questions recently, from founders and others. It is heartening to see this interest in community building<\/a>, an area that I stumbled into 18 years ago, but one that has gone on to become the work I cherish.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A\u00a0post\u00a0by\u00a0Dharmesh Shah\u00a0a few days back spoke about #CommunityLedGrowth<\/strong> and that got me thinking about my own community-building <\/em>journey<\/a>. <\/em>Also, having a \u2018community\u2019 that is passionate about your product, or your startup, or your area of interest is increasingly becoming critical \u2014 which is why the rise in frequency of the questions being posed to me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have written multiple posts in the past that have touched upon various aspects of community building. But, I wanted to put together a comprehensive piece on the topic with insights from my peers \u2014 other community builders in our ecosystem who are doing really good work and have a wealth of practical knowledge that is of great use to others. This is the first time I have done a post like this and I am very grateful to all the community builders who have shared their learnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to write this post so that others, who are attempting to create, nurture and grow a community, do not have to start from scratch like I did or make the same mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n

I have shared this before and I say it again, that much of what I did in terms of fostering or nurturing a community was not based on thought-through theories or even philosophies. It was the happy result, many times, of good intentions meeting serendipity at the right time. With SaaSBoomi<\/a>, I built up on my past experiences and learnings and it has proven to be a rewarding journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are few fundamental ingredients that go into building any community<\/a>, but before I get into the details of the points that community designers and architects need to keep in mind, I want to underline the following three points. Keep them at the centre of your efforts at all times, and you will find they are the very essence of forging connections and building a community that truly cares:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
