Why This Works

Resource sharing taps into the collective wisdom of your email marketing community, making everyone feel like both a learner and a contributor. By asking members to recommend articles, tools, or videos, you invite them to showcase expertise and discover new solutions.

This approach boosts engagement because people love to share what works for them — and they appreciate learning what others trust. It fosters a culture of generosity, practical support, and ongoing growth, which are essential for a vibrant professional community.
