Don t get me wrong, I m a fan of forums, like this one : ). And I'll build a forum on my product. But I feel that if all i do is add a forum to my site, then i won t succeed in building an active and engaged community. I want to build the product around the community and to do that I need to figure out what community products / platforms I should offer For context; I m building an advisory platform (Dosen) that supports the knowledge community. It integrates all of the tools required for anyone with expertise to operate as an advisor (scheduling, video, payments, promotion etc). I'm very aware of how lonely independent consulting can be. It s hard to get advice about challenges like pricing, promotion, delivering a quality service etc as those in the same role are technically competitors . I want Dosen to be a place where experts can feel comfortable supporting one another through advice, referrals and growing the industry as a whole So what product / features / activities worked for you to build your communities? Would also love to hear from any community builders on PH : )
