Hey Guys!
Instead of just knocking my head on the wall myself. I thought of crowdsource some good ideas if you guys already crossed a stage of initial traction.
If you can, could you share some of the best strategies/tricks/loops that helped to increase the reach of your discourse platform ?
Thanks.
What type of community are you building? That may help others come up with specific ideas that could work for you.
I recommend you reading the advice that appears in this topic: How did you know you could be successful with a forum? 
It’s an discussion forum around ideas and solutions related to UN sustainable goals
https://discuss.ideasforsocial.org/
One of the main thing we want to focus is urbanisation and public transportation. Imagine your city or street has some problem… instead of Waiting for government to solve this, People could crowdsource ideas and work on themselves
And also people could discuss about ideas that Not tied to a city but generic problems as well.
Thanks for sharing that Sid!
I went to read all those comments. What I understand is it answers the below
But am 
into it that we wanted discourse , and all the features a forum needed is there. Now it’s about how do we make it more active. I know it may be lame or generic question but I would like to listen to someone who was already in a situation like me and a single hack has get the forum grow a lot. It is so clear from discourse that if we can get one user to sign up, the features (threaded replied, badgesand mailing list) going to make him sticky and refer new users.
But before that how do we increase the initial growth?
Out of my impatience, I ran a facebook ad targeting city planners to provide their ideas on public transportation problem. Got 7 signups at a cost of 1-2USD. But I am looking for few more growth strategy buddy..
The very important thing to remember (which not everyone wants to hear) is that you can’t really market a community into being successful. You’re either solving a need or want for people (in which case they’re likely to find you on their own) or you’re not going to succeed.
I’d recommend doing some reading on feverbee.com to make sure you’ve set yourself up to succeed.
Oh thanks Hawk for a wise reminder!
The link you shared seems to have some thoughtful contents to read > Building an Online Community: The Ultimate List Of Resources
Will check it out. And keep experimenting new ways..
Share your finding here. It would be great to know what works for you on discourse.
I test new ways of engaging every single day.
Keep in mind that Discourse is just a tool in your community strategy.
You have to find the right balance between the business objective and the community members needs
Last Rich’s book will put you on the right track as well.
안녕하세요,
https://www.peopledatalabs.com/ API를 사용하면 타겟팅된 이메일 주소를 가져올 수 있다는 것을 알게 되었습니다.
이 타겟팅된 이메일 주소를 가진 사람들을 포럼에 초대할 수 있는 플러그인이나 기능을 개발해 주실 수 있는지 궁금합니다.
이것이 가능한가요?
감사합니다.
솔직히 이 의견에 동의합니다. 하지만 문제는 마케팅을 시작할 적절한 시기가 언제인지입니다.
음.
호크가 공유한 내용은 일반적인 의미의 마케팅과는 아무런 상관이 없다고 생각합니다. 그녀가 지적했듯이:
그리고 그렇게 하면:
따라서 '마케팅’이 일어나는 것이 아니라, 커뮤니티를 구축하고 관리하게 됩니다.
여기서 사용된 단어는 마인드셋의 전환을 나타내기 때문에 중요합니다. 제가 마케팅을 시도했거나, 마케팅을 통해 운영되는 것을 목격한 커뮤니티는 거의 항상 실패했습니다. 대신 필요나 문제를 해결하는 관점에서 생각하면, 커뮤니티는 '성장’하는 것이 아니라 '성공’하게 될 것입니다.

제프가 이전에 제 댓글에 좋아요를 눌렀던 적이 있어서, 이 댓글을 다시 남기고 싶었어요. 하하하. 제프가 엄지 척을 해줬거든요!
디스코urses를 4년째 사용했습니다. 디스코urses를 여러 번 런칭했고, 지금은 저코드 SaaS 플랫폼 아래에서 기업가 커뮤니티를 구축하고 있습니다. 항상 디스코urses를 사용하게 되어 정말 기쁩니다! 오픈 플랫폼인 디스코urses! 디스코urses가 언제 유니콘이 될지 모르겠네요!
