Stop Chasing Engagement And Build A Smaller, Less-Engaged, Online Community

April 23, 2020 By mark david mcCreary

Many entrepreneurs are under the impression that they need to build communities with a vast amount of members in order to generate a respectable amount of leads. Rich from FeverBee has written a manifesto that depicts why creating smaller communities should be the primary goal of most businesses. He discusses how many members are needed for online communities to thrive, which behaviors you should seek out from your members, and what strategies you should look at adopting.

  • Millington also asserts that a smaller community focused less on engagement and more on specific strategies, as well as certain required behaviors for its members, will thrive.
