Our Recommend a Resource templates make it easy to encourage members to share what works for them, so your community can grow together with up-to-date insights.
Plan your content calendar and auto-post to Skool, Circle, or Mighty Networks
Inviting members to recommend resources taps into the collective expertise within your digital marketing community. It gives everyone a voice, making even less frequent posters feel valued for sharing tools, articles, or strategies they genuinely find helpful. This approach not only surfaces hidden gems but also fosters a sense of belonging and trust, as members see their contributions directly helping others.
From a psychological standpoint, people are more likely to engage when the ask is specific and actionable, yet low-pressure. By requesting recommendations, you make it easy for members to participate without needing to craft lengthy posts or original content. This facilitates ongoing knowledge exchange, keeps discussions relevant, and helps everyone stay ahead in the rapidly evolving world of digital marketing.

To implement these templates, simply copy and paste a prompt into your community platform of choice. Encourage members to share a link or a brief explanation of their favorite digital marketing resource. Follow up on shared recommendations by asking users how they've applied the resource, or by tagging members who might benefit. Rotate resource prompts weekly or monthly to keep the conversation fresh and relevant.
These templates are designed for all platforms. Whether you manage a Facebook Group, Slack channel, Discord server, or forum, keep your prompts concise and easy to respond to. Use relevant hashtags or thread structures to organize responses. Adapt language slightly to fit the platform's culture, but always keep the ask clear and actionable for maximum participation.
When using these templates, encourage members to specify the publication or last update date of recommended resources, especially for topics like SEO or paid social where algorithms change frequently. You can add a field in your template prompting users to mention if the resource is reflective of recent changes (e.g., ‘latest Google Core Update’ or ‘Meta Ads 2024’.)
Yes, segmenting resources by marketing channel helps prevent overwhelm and ensures recommendations are highly relevant. Use the templates to clearly tag or categorize posts (e.g., #SEO, #EmailMarketing, #PPC) so members can easily find resources tailored to their current campaigns or learning focus.
Customize the template to require full disclosure if a recommendation is self-promotional or includes affiliate benefits. This maintains transparency and trust within your digital marketing community. Consider adding a checkbox or a required statement like ‘This is my tool/affiliate link’ in the template.
Modify the template to prompt users to briefly describe how the resource impacted their KPIs (e.g., CTR improvement, lower CAC, or higher organic rankings). This adds credibility and helps other members assess the practical value for their campaigns.
Add explicit fields to the template asking for the resource’s publication date and whether it aligns with current best practices and platform guidelines. You can even include a reminder in your group rules to discourage sharing of deprecated or unethical tactics.
Encourage members to highlight under-the-radar or emerging MarTech stacks, automation scripts (e.g., Zapier recipes, GA4 custom reports), or AI-powered solutions by including a ‘Why this is unique or advanced’ field in your template. This helps surface valuable insights even seasoned digital marketers might miss.
