To use these templates, simply post them as threads, discussion starters, or comment prompts within your community spaces. Encourage both new and experienced members to contribute by tagging or inviting them directly. Highlight or pin popular responses to showcase value, and consider compiling shared resources into a living list or guide for long-term benefit.
Since these templates are suitable for all platforms, adapt the prompt style to match your community's format. On chat-based platforms, keep posts concise and conversational. For forums or groups, allow room for longer explanations. Use tags or categories to organize resource threads for future reference.
Customize your Recommend a Resource prompts to ask members for their favorite keyword research tools, SEO audit checkers, or content optimization platforms. You could use template language like: 'What’s the most effective keyword research tool you’ve used this quarter?' or 'Which SEO audit tool has improved your content strategy the most?' This approach will surface actionable, industry-specific resources and foster discussion around content performance.
Consider running separate Recommend a Resource threads for ideation (e.g., headline generators, topic discovery platforms) and for distribution (e.g., email marketing tools, syndication networks). This helps keep discussions focused and allows members to dive deep into challenges unique to each phase of the content marketing lifecycle.
Embrace the debate by revising your templates to invite comparison, such as 'Which analytics tool—HubSpot or Semrush—has provided more actionable insights for your campaigns, and why?' Encourage members to back up their recommendations with specific results or use cases. This not only resolves conflict diplomatically but also enriches the value of the thread for the entire community.
Add specificity to your template prompts, such as: 'Share the most innovative AI content creation tool you've used this year,' or 'What niche semantic search platforms have helped improve your topical authority?' This encourages experienced marketers to share advanced tools, moving beyond widely-known basics.
Create format-specific resource recommendation templates: 'What’s your go-to platform for creating engaging infographics?' or 'Which video editing tools have streamlined your content process?' By segmenting threads by content type, you make it easier for members to discover resources relevant to their specialties and challenges.
In your template, prompt members to include specific outcomes or vetted experiences, e.g., 'Have you worked with a content marketing agency that exceeded your KPIs? Share your experience and results.' You can also encourage follow-up questions and ask for case studies, ensuring that recommendations are credible and relevant to the community.
