Understanding the Growth Path of a Member

Are you struggling to get your membership community members engaged? Do you find yourself wondering how to guide them through different stages of participation? The growth path of a member is a concept that sheds light on the various stages individuals go through within a community platform. As you listen to the full episode, make sure to pay attention to these key takeaways.

Join:

The first step is for members to join the community, signifying their initial connection. It's crucial to swiftly transition them from this phase to active participation to ensure they are fully engaged and involved.

Listen:

Members in the listening phase are consuming content and observing, but it's essential to guide them towards active engagement to prevent them from getting stuck in a passive consumption loop.

Engage:

Active engagement, such as commenting and interacting with others, is a positive indicator of a member's involvement and commitment to the community. However, some people skip this stage altogether. Engagement is not required for progress, but it is helpful.

Act:

The act phase is where members put their learning into action, driving progress and tangible results. It's crucial to focus on facilitating this transition to ensure members are actively applying what they've learned so they can make progress.

Encouraging members to share their successes internally and externally fosters a sense of community and inspires others. If you want to get stories from your members that you can use to get more customers & keep them longer check out my Streamlined Story System.
