Turn Off Your Auto-DM๐
Donโt get me wrong, If used right, Auto-DMs are a good feature!๐ But theyโre lacking one important part: A personal touch๐ฅ โThe way a member joins your community determines how active theyโre going to be.โ If youโre welcoming them with an auto-generated message, theyโre much more likely to not even be active at all in your community๐
โโ๏ธ BUT, If you actually take the time to make a personalized Loom for them, showing them around and inviting them to a call,๐ where you just want to get to know them. Theyโre much more likely to be active afterwards!๐โโ๏ธ Look, we as humans seek interaction with other humans. If you tell them to introduce themselves,๐ฃ๏ธ theyโve automatically started interacting with members in your community. Because there will always be some people welcoming them. Well, itโll be at least you๐ PLUS, You can also use this method to book more onboarding callsโ๏ธ Just tell them: โIf you found this call helpful, Iโd be happy for you to make a post about it in the community. This will help me speak to more people. Thank you!โ Thereโs one downside though, itโll take you more time to welcome everyoneโฐ But thatโs what an engaged community is worth :)
