Spotlight creative or enthusiastic participants with badges, shoutouts, or small prizes to keep the momentum going. Rotate challenges weekly or monthly to keep the community fresh and lively.
For all platforms, use clear visuals or emojis to make posts stand out. Pin or highlight challenge posts for visibility and use platform features like polls, stories, or comment threads to track entries. Encourage members to tag friends or share their posts across channels to boost reach.
To prompt members to share real profile content, use templates that request specific examples, such as 'Share the opening line from your dating profile' or 'Post your go-to bio intro.'
