A superior business model, accessible tools and resources, and an eager and engaged audience are just some of the many reasons that motivate more organizations to build online communities.
But for your community to thrive (and weather the recession), you need a comprehensive strategy to support strategic goals with a crystal clear value proposition for your organization and your members.

What Exactly is Community Strategy?
Morgan and Christina start the discussion by explaining what community strategy is.
Strategy is essential for a successful community. Don’t believe the myth; if you build it, they will come. They won’t!
Christina explains that we often talk about market fit.
But we rarely talk about community fit.
When creating a new product or service, you make sure that there is a demand. You identify your target market and their use case. You ask yourself what habit loops are needed to create multiple and long-term use.
You should use this same framework when creating your community’s strategy.
Ask yourself:
- Is this community necessary?
- Does it already exist?
- If it already exists, do you want to align with them and make a strategic partnership? Or do you want to start your own?
- If you create your own, how are you differentiating yourself?
- How will you communicate your community's value?
