I m Rosie Sherry and I ve been building communities for quite some time! I m here to answer anything and everything I can about community building. Here are some of the things I ve done: - I started back in 2006 with a local Girl Geek Dinner Meetup - I founded Ministry of Testing, an indie, 7 figure revenue and profitable community of practice for software testers. I handed this community over for someone else to run (I did not sell it). - I led the community at Indie Hackers for a couple of years - I started Indiependent, a small community for indie founders where people get kicked for inactivity - I ve been writing about community at Rosieland (covering community growth, flywheels, Minimum Viable Communities, Community Discovery, and much more!) - I breathe, eat, sleep community Ask me anything about community, I can cover things like: - Tools to use, or not - Community on a budget - Community as a business - Minimum Viable Communities - Community Discovery - Community Growth & Flywheels - Building a sustainable community - Community trends - Why so many people are getting community wrong! I'll be answering questions on the 7th of September!

I'm just building a referral program and considering different options for rewards in case users invite a friend. What can you suggest trying except for the product rewards(free plan, free feature)?

I have close to 3K connections on LinkedIn. Its not much but I have been building my network selectively with VCs, angels, C.E.Os, and other Startup Founders. I have started a "share your startup" linkedin thread so that your startup/business can get some exposure from my network. Prolly nothing but who knows you may get the connection you have been looking for. Link in the comments.
