Member onboarding is an important process in community building. Why? Because getting people to participate and come back is dependent on initial experiences. Ideally, the goal is to create a good impression and encourage members to keep active and connect on their own. Read more to learn exactly how to do this.<hr>Member onboarding is a very important process in community building. Why? Because getting people to participate and come back is very dependent on initial experiences. Ideally, the goal is to create a good impression and encourage members to keep active and connect on their own. So how exactly can you achieve this? Usually, new members are very receptive to guidance and new information. Take advantage of this time and provide them a great member onboarding experience with these tips.‍<h3>Give a proper welcome and introduction</h3>When someone joins your community, it’s likely that they already have an idea of who you are and what your community is for. Nevertheless, it’s still important that you tell them this, and properly introduce them to the community. A good way to onboard members is through a series of emails. More than just a welcome message, your emails should properly introduce your community’s goals, and give members the confidence to participate and initiate conversations. After all, the best time to get people engaged is right from the very beginning. Here are some email examples you can use for your onboarding experience:<ul><li>Welcome to the community! Let’s go on a virtual tour!</li><li>Meet Steve and Bob, our Community Managers</li><li>The top 5 beginner articles, hand-picked for you!</li><li>Expectation Setting — Tell us your goals and how we can help!</li><li>Have you completed your rookie quests?</li><li>We’d love to hear your feedback on the community!</li><li>Frequently Asked Questions</li></ul>‍<h3>Make resources available</h3>Of course, you won’t be able to send those emails if you don’t actually invest time to set up your resources. Start by asking yourself: If I were a new member, what information would I need? These could be FAQs, moderation rules, how-to articles for newbies, a virtual video tour, or recorded webinars. You can even go as far as creating a group or a subforum where new members can stay and mingle with fellow rookies while they get comfortable. This gives them a much safer space inside the community where they’re empowered to interact and participate without feeling intimidated. Use this to get to know your new members better — who they are, why they joined, what they hope to achieve, and what their expectations are. Their feedback will really help you improve your onboarding process and your community as a whole!‍<h3>Involve your Community Managers</h3>Community managers play a very crucial role in the onboarding process. Onboarding members is basically like inviting an outsider to your party. The community manager acts as the host who welcomes guests at the door, shows them where everything is, gets to know them a bit, and then introduces them to other people. The more comfortable they feel, the longer they’ll stay, and the happier they’ll be with your party. In other words, community managers are primarily responsible for taking extra care of new members and keeping your community’s churn rate low. They are in the best position to facilitate conversations and connections among members, both old and new. Encourage new users to introduce themselves to the community and let them share something about their lives. Consider creating a post where new people can comment on the thread. For example, “New to the community? Introduce yourself by telling us 2 truths and a lie.”‍<h3>Incorporate gamification</h3>Gamification is a great opportunity to engage, recognize, and reward members who contribute to your community’s growth and overall success. In terms of onboarding, gamification features add value to your community by constantly introducing new challenges in the form of missions or quests. It’s also a great way to introduce new people to your community, and teach them about your brand throughout the discovery process. Check out these sample missions for new member:<ul><li>Create your first post</li><li>Complete your profile</li><li>Introduce yourself</li><li>Tag a new friend</li><li>React on 5 posts ‍</li></ul>Of course, there’s so much more to gamification that just missions or quests. Learn more about this by reading our article on&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://beam.gg/blog/how-gamification-enhances-your-communitys-experience">How Gamification Enhances Your Community’s Experience</a>.‍<h3>Monitor new member activity</h3>After you’ve set up all your onboarding initiatives, it’s now time to measure the effectiveness of your process. Set up goals for your members — it can anything from completing their profile, to posting, commenting, or reacting to content. See how your onboarding process is helping them meet these goals by tracking their community stats. It’s also important to keep an eye on new members who stay active and highly engaged. Consider approaching them about getting more involved. Who knows? These people could be your next moderators, content creators, and&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://beam.gg/blog/who-are-community-managers">community managers</a>. Collecting feedback should be part of your priorities as well. You can do check-ins every month for 3 months. Are your new members satisfied with their onboarding? What resources did they find helpful? Do they have any comments or suggestions? Make sure to ask questions that are relevant to you and will really help you improve the onboarding experience of future members.‍‍Of course, completing onboarding doesn’t mean you should stop engaging your members! Community engagement should be an ongoing process of learning what motivates your members and delivering a good experience. Keep the momentum going by coming up with other innovative ways to keep them active.

5 Key Reasons Self-Empowerment Is Key To Living Your Truest LifeThe need for self-empowerment in a healthy and fulfilling life is evident by its intrinsic benefits. In order to succeed, we first have to believe we can. This internal confidence strengthens our relationships, enhances our jobs, helps us reach goals, and overcome roadblocks. This is why it’s so important for you to empower yourself, and potentially even those around you. <h2>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Expand your skills. </h2>Your skills need to be trained. Professional athletes, brilliant scientists, renowned leaders, and lucrative executives all understand the importance of honing their metaphorical blades. Furthermore, these individuals also understand the danger of neglecting their talents. To empower yourself means to believe and support the things that make you who you are. Investing in yourself could look like picking up courses to refine your knowledge, taking on a mentor, hitting the driving range on weekends, reviewing old paperwork, and basically anything that pushes you to be better. A lack of self-belief and empowerment can lead to stagnancy and even regression. The life you want, the career you’re shooting for, and the relationship you desire, will all require hard work and the employment of your skills. Empower yourself in these ways so that you can live your best life. <h2>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Build resilience.</h2>When you are comfortable with failure, you’ll be more capable of experiencing success. Too many people truly believe it’s better not to try than to try and fail. Failure can be painful, and complications can feel like the end of the world, but a resilient individual can learn to take the risks anyway. In order to be resilient in the face of fear, one has to have a certain internal confidence that allows one to take that necessary leap of faith. It’s being able to admit that the process might be terrifying, but you believe in yourself enough to come through it, no matter what. Without resilience, people can spend a lifetime on the sidelines of their dreams. They hold back in the big pitch meeting, never try out for that long-awaited role, and refuse to approach the beautiful stranger. You deserve to become your true self, and in order to do this, you have to be resilient enough to try.<h2>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Achieve your desires.</h2>What are your goals? You might have short-term goals, like getting to the gym a few times a week or being in bed every night by 10 P.M. Maybe you have long-term goals that seem out of reach at the moment, like landing that executive role, closing on a new home, or starting a family. How can you reach these goals if you don’t give yourself the necessary tools?Empowerment expands your skills, it builds resilience to overcome and push on, all for the purpose of fulfilling your greatest desires. It’s learning to tell yourself that you deserve to have the best. The positive mindset of self-empowerment helps you refrain from self-sabotage. Instead, you can focus your energy on the best that life has to offer you. <h2>4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Grow confidence.</h2>To be confident is to believe that you can face any obstacle. Confidence reaffirms what you already know and if you find a situation out of your depth, confidence trusts that you will find a way. An empowered woman or man has the freedom to be themselves, to honestly convey their opinions and thoughts through strong communication. Unlike arrogance, confidence is able to be both bold and amenable. The more you enable the positive in yourself, the better you can learn to trust and bet on your own outcomes. <h2>5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Empower others. </h2>Empowered people, empower people. True leaders understand the importance of serving those around them. This is because when you find true joy and fulfillment, you’ll want to share with others. A strong community, one that cares for and supports one another, desperately needs empowered individuals to help raise up those in need. Furthermore, empowering others teaches us humility. When you begin to see others through their own journeys, you’ll also begin to gain perspective. If you have a mentor, teacher, or leader in your life who has helped you, then you know firsthand the benefit of this relationship. Ask yourself, who in your life could use empowerment. <h2>Conclusion</h2>Are you empowering your truest life? Oftentimes, we’re the biggest obstacle in our own pursuit of fulfillment. Clear away your personal obstructions and begin to invest in yourself. Believe in your dreams when no one else will and push yourself when no one else can. In doing this, you will be able to live a truly fulfilling life.

In the future, will the users then have their own wall and/or gallery to post on/in, as well as being able to “follow” other users profile? Right now in a profile, you can only see users general activity across the forum, and you can’t follow their profile. I know a forum is about the community, but I would like the users to be able to create their own space and identity within the forum, and follow new and old friends.
