Community Times: Grow your Web3 and NFT community
Hello there, Community Rockstar 👋
I can’t believe it’s been a month since we talked. I hope you had a productive month and are staying healthy both physically and mentally. It’s important to take short breaks, give yourself some time, and burnouts are real.
In the community news, we hosted our favorite monthly member catch-up or as we like to call it “When RETRO Meets METRO”.
This is just the beginning of what’s more to come.
On the other hand, a lot more new community builders have joined our community. Join us at Community Folks to get to know them and listen to their experiences.
We are here to keep you updated on all things community, the events that are being hosted, and the jobs that are open.
So, scroll down to see the complete picture.
Let’s goooooooooooo!
Web 3 and NFT Community: Growth strategies
It has become a trend to start a community in the Web3 ecosystem because everyone else is doing it.
Everyone, however, seems to be forgetting that in a community, meaningful ties must be made with and among members.
People quickly sign up for Web3 communities because they perceive short-term benefits there. What they don’t see is a reason to stay, a reason to connect with others.
Community is a powerful tool, if done right, it can do wonders for you. If done wrong, it can do you more harm than good.
Let me help you with some strategies that help you build better communities
Growth strategies for companies and communities in Web3 -
Direct emails are the best way to communicate with the audience, to get them into the community.

We hosted When RETRO Meets METRO on the 29th of July. we talked about “identifying a proper community role" and got some great insights from our folks. We highlighted the stories of fellow community builders who have recently joined us. We also got to catch up with many new and old folks.
