πͺ CommunityHub Spotlight with Marmik Mankodi, (AVP Marketing, Mosaic Wellness)

"We thought that while building the products, it makes sense to build a platform, which allows men to live confidently, not only by offering them products, but by even offering them a community of sorts." - Marmik

Creator communities, learning communities and Brand communities are hot right now! The community has turned out to be the primary source to gather real-time feedback on products/content, learn about upcoming trends in the industry, and gain loyal followers/users.
Communicating with the users/followers through community helps build a stronger relationship than social media.
We also talk about a couple of top chat-based platforms for your community.
How do you pick a community platform? Here's how :
β
1) Define the Community Personas
Identifying your community personas will help you streamline the content, engagement and networking events for your members, basis which you can pick a platform that facilitates all/most of your checklists.
β
2) Solving Community Pain Points
Pick a platform that simplifies/automates tasks that lead to ultimately addressing your community member's pain points.
β
3) Understanding community motivations and goals
Define the engagement rituals and content to be shared, basis this. It'll help you narrow down the tools/features you would want to see in your community platform.
4) List down all tools you would need
Once you have the wishlist of features/integrations with you, pick one of these top platforms that support your community the most.
In the end, this choice usually boils down to Slack vs Discord. Here's a detailed blog on this topic.
