Struggling to keep your marketing community engaged and resourceful? Encouraging members to recommend tools, articles, and guides is a powerful way to build collective knowledge. These ready-to-use templates make it easy to spark valuable resource-sharing discussions.
Plan your content calendar and auto-post to Skool, Circle, or Mighty Networks
Inviting members to recommend resources taps into the community's collective expertise and makes everyone feel valued for what they know. When individuals share what has helped them, it builds trust and fosters a culture of generosity. This not only keeps the conversation flowing but also helps members discover new solutions they might not have found on their own.
Resource-sharing also increases engagement, as members are prompted to think about their own experiences and contribute in a low-pressure, supportive environment. It encourages even quieter members to join in by simply mentioning a favorite tool or article, making participation accessible to all levels. Over time, this approach builds a rich library of practical knowledge unique to your community.
