🗺 Creating a Community Map to guide members

map (noun) - a diagrammatic representation of an area of land or sea showing physical features, cities, roads, etc.

Maps help people to get from point A to point B and understand the lay of the land. Communities today exist in virtual spaces but they are in many ways mini-societies that have a structure and way of functioning. Just like how maps help guide people to their destinations, communities can help their members by having a 'Getting started' guide or a 'Community Map' to guide members to get the best out of the community.

Here are a few things you could include in the Community Map to make it easier for your members:

  • Quick introduction about the community, who's it for, its purpose, and you
  • Highlight key people to reach out to from the community in need of help and how to contact them
  • Show your members where your community engages and what your members should look out for - Slack channels that they should care about, invite links on email, etc
  • Include a walkthrough of your community (screenshots or short Loom video tour)
  • Highlight rituals that your members should focus on e.g. weekly check-ins or paths your members should take depending on their stage (check out how Salesforce uses Trails )
  • Mention top 3 actions members should take to ensure they get involved with the least effort

🛠 Resources:

Notion - create a 'Getting Started' page to capture all details and maintain it as a guide members can go back to.

Loom - use Loom to create short walkthrough videos of your community.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
