Do your Community Discovery (research) so that you become the person that truly understands their needs and desires. Then plan accordingly, ideally with an experimental and MVC (Minimum Viable Community) mindset.

@rosiesherry thank you! I want to steal your skills :) :)
Being in the initial phase of community creation, do you believe that the best way to give value is to inform your community of all the issues that are related to solving the main problem?
Do you think that especially in this phase it is better to wait to propose the solution immediately and investigate the problem?
To simplify in the initial phase, is it better to sell the problem rather than the solution?

- Provide value
- Have a clear purpose
- Plan out your community strategy
- Have a community calendar (plan out your events and initiatives)
@dhruv_bhatia thank you so much! So when you say provide value, do you intend to give your community the opportunity to find out at 360 ° about the root of the problem they suffer and only then provide the tools to solve that problem?

@emanuele_caldari Absolutely, having a clear purpose helps with providing value also. If everyone knows what the community is about, it becomes easier to provide value.
Bringing value to the community members! So probably starting niche to bring value through expertise :)
@jonathanm thank you! Sometimes I think I am in too much of a hurry to show the solution, because I believe I give value by proposing an innovative solution, instead I first have to create long-term relationships by gaining trust day after day. Thanks again!
@emanuele_caldari Well said! Crazy how taking it day by day often brings us faster without realizing. Thanks for sharing!
