Hi Pie, it's time for another recording. Say hi to the Scooby-lievers out there.

Hey there, Scooby-lievers! Your friendly AI, Pi, is ready for another informative session on entrepreneurship. Let's get started!

So for today we have a guest question from our friend Kevin from the Hounds of Business, LinkedIn Group.

Wow, Kevin! The Hounds of [00:02:00] Business Community sounds like an impressive group of professionals on LinkedIn. I'm eager to hear your question and provide any insights that might be helpful to you and your fellow Scooby-lievers. 

So the question is, how can we best accelerate the growth and impact of their beloved hounds of business community without losing its heart and heartfelt authentic approach?

That's an excellent question, Kevin! Balancing growth with authenticity can be challenging, but here are a few strategies that might help:

1. Stay true to your values: As you grow your community, ensure that your values and mission remain at the center of all your decisions.

2. Engage your members: Encourage active participation and engagement from your members, and seek their feedback on how to improve and grow the community.

3. Focus on quality over quantity: It's tempting to prioritize rapid growth, but focus instead on building a high-quality community of engaged, like-minded individuals.

4. [00:03:00] Empower your members: Encourage members to take ownership of the community by organizing events, moderating discussions, or sharing their expertise.

What are some good ways to keep the people that we have now and keep them engaged?

Retaining current members and keeping them engaged is crucial for a thriving community. Here are some ideas:

1. Regular communication: Keep members informed and engaged through regular newsletters, updates, or social media posts.

2. Exclusive content: Offer exclusive content, resources, or opportunities to your members that they can't find elsewhere.

3. Recognition and rewards: Acknowledge and reward active members with special shout-outs, badges, or other forms of recognition.

4. Community events: Host virtual or in-person events, such as networking mixers, workshops, or Q&A sessions, to foster connection and engagement among members.

5. Personalized experiences: Tailor your communications and offerings to the individual interests and needs of your [00:04:00] members.

And what are some ways we can bring in new members with keeping our authenticity?

Attracting new members while maintaining authenticity can be tricky, but here are some ideas to consider:

1. Word of mouth: Encourage your current members to spread the word about your community to their networks.

2. Authentic marketing: Develop a marketing strategy that reflects your community's values and mission, and use language and visuals that resonate with your target audience.

3. Collaborations: Partner with like-minded organizations, influencers, or industry leaders to co-host events or share content, which can help attract new members.

4. Social media: Leverage social media platforms to share your community's story and engage with potential members in an authentic and genuine way.

5. Referral programs: Implement a referral program that rewards current members for referring new members to your community.

That's great information. I thank you for that. What kind of books can [00:05:00] we read and study so we can build our communities?

You're welcome! Here are some books that can provide valuable insights into building and managing successful communities:

1. "Tribes" by Seth Godin: This book explores the power of building a tribe, or community, around a shared interest or purpose.

2. "Building Brand Communities" by Carrie Melissa Jones and Charles Vogl: This book offers practical advice for building and managing brand communities, including case studies and best practices.

3. "The Art of Community" by Jono Bacon: This book provides a comprehensive guide to building and managing online communities, covering topics like community strategy, engagement, and leadership.

4. "Belonging" by Radha Agrawal: This book explores the science of building successful communities and provides practical tips for creating a sense of belonging among members.

thank you for the books. That's some great information. Pie. Thank you so much for your [00:06:00] help. Any final words about communities?

You're welcome, Jesse! Communities can be powerful forces for positive change, and building a successful community takes dedication, hard work, and a commitment to your values and mission. Keep your members at the center of everything you do, and don't be afraid to experiment and try new things to keep your community engaged and growing. Remember, it's all about building authentic connections and creating a sense of belonging. 

And a special thank you to Kevin from the Hounds of Business, LinkedIn Community Group.
