A word from Wix community managers

testimonials

“Quality content is key and creating the right content takes time. But not all the content you share has to be original. You can curate interesting articles or studies, quotes from industry experts, guest posts from the community—you name it. Ask your members for their opinions and you’ll get a conversation rolling in no time.”—Noemi Levy, Wix Spanish Community Manager

Best practices for growing your online community

Show off your expertise

Stay on top of news and trends related to your field. As an admin, your community looks to you for more info and how you weigh-in on controversial topics.

Create engaging content

Post content that’s valuable and engaging. Communities are about the people and shared interests. Give members something meaningful to talk about.

Encourage positivity

Make members feel seen and heard. Give shoutouts and thank members that positively impact your community. Encourage collaboration and build relationships.

Be present and proactive

Actively participate in community discussions and contribute your own content. Jumpstart conversations, ask questions, encourage members to share their thoughts and ask for their feedback.

Build online communities that thrive with Wix.
