Tired of seeing your creative community struggle to find valuable resources? You can make it easy for members to discover tools, guides, and inspiration with ready-made resource sharing templates. These templates help you spotlight helpful content and encourage real discussion, driving value and connection.
Plan your content calendar and auto-post to Skool, Circle, or Mighty Networks
Resource sharing posts work because they deliver immediate, practical value to your creative community. By surfacing helpful tools, articles, or inspiration, you address a core pain point: the overwhelm that comes from searching for high-quality resources in a sea of content. Members trust communities that consistently offer solutions to their challenges, making them more likely to engage, return, and contribute.
The clear structure of a resource share, paired with a meaningful call to action, invites members to explore and interact. It transforms passive scrolling into active learning and sharing. Plus, when members see tangible benefits, they are motivated to reciprocate with their own recommendations, deepening connections and creating a culture of generosity.

Select a template that fits the resource or reference you want to share. Customize it with the specific link, tool, or content. Add a brief explanation of why this resource matters to your creative community. Always include a call to action, encouraging feedback or sharing. Schedule or post at times when your members are most active to maximize visibility and engagement.
Since these templates work on all platforms, adapt your format to each channel. Use concise text for Twitter or Instagram, include visuals on Facebook or Discord, and use threaded replies for deeper discussions in forums or Slack. Always tailor the resource link and explanation for the platform's audience and content style.
These templates are structured to prompt members to share specific types of creative assets, such as mockups, stock photos, or digital brushes. You can customize resource prompts to target niche tools or file formats, encouraging designers to upload links, describe licensing terms, and discuss intended use cases. This helps create a repository tailored to your community’s preferred mediums and tools.
Creative resources often involve complex licensing. Use the provided templates to prompt members to specify attribution or licensing details with each share. You can add a template field for ‘Usage Rights’ or ‘Source Link’ to ensure proper credit and compliance. Additionally, consider implementing pinned guidelines alongside resource posts, reminding members about copyright etiquette and fair use.
Each template can be tailored to spotlight different creative disciplines by including targeted prompts (e.g., 'Share your favorite royalty-free music library for animators' or 'Best RAW photo packs for retouching'). This approach promotes cross-pollination while making sure niche needs—like LUTs for videographers or swatch palettes for illustrators—are met and celebrated.
The templates include sections where you can ask for process-focused shares, such as 'Drop your favorite layer structure PSD' or 'Templates for managing design feedback loops.' By framing questions around workflow, collaboration, and project files, you’ll inspire members to reveal their behind-the-scenes techniques, which are often more valuable than the final product alone.
Leverage the template’s announcement and ‘call to action’ fields to highlight time-limited opportunities, such as upcoming creative challenges, trending plugins, or limited free asset packs. You can schedule themed shares (e.g., 'Tool of the Month') or prompt members to quickly exchange resources responding to current trends, fostering real-time collaboration and experimentation.
Use the template’s tagging and categorization sections to require contributors to label their resources by type, software compatibility, or creative field. Pair this with a pinned master index post or periodic resource roundups, so newcomers can easily browse previously shared materials—ensuring long-term value and minimizing duplicated shares.
