An online community is much more than an online social circle. It’s definitely more than an online forum. And it’s certainly more than an online network.
When online communities are led with enthusiasm, a spark is lit, and that enthusiasm is ignited between you and the other members. And when you are supercharged with passion, it has an amazing ripple effect throughout the rest of the community.
I have personally been blessed by this experience, both as a community host and as a community member, and I thoroughly enjoy both roles! It’s exciting to be supported by a community that guides you to achieve your goals.
Here are 10 Benefits to Joining an Online Community
1. Connection
Online communities foster connection between its members.
The unique interaction that takes place in this setting gives you a chance to learn more about your fellow members, in a way that promotes “getting to know each other.” It seems to remove the awkwardness that tends to happen face-to-face. Even the most introverted and shy individuals can find some relief in these more comfortable connections. We have a natural need and desire for community that fosters connection, because we are better together.
2. Inspiration
Online communities harness the power of inspiration for its members.
Inspiration can come in many forms. It can be delivered visually through beautiful images and compelling videos. It can be received emotionally through a personal testimonial or case study. What we see and what we read have the power to inspire us to take action.
3. Motivation
Online communities ignite motivation for its members.
Motivation is a key ingredient to success when you’re trying to reach your goals. When you’re surrounded by other members who are striving towards a common goal, you’re naturally filled with enthusiasm that nudges you to take that next step towards your goal.
4. Accountability
Online communities encourage accountability for its members.
Accountability is another key ingredient for effectively making progress towards your goals. When other people are holding you accountable to completing your objectives, and challenging you to achieve new milestones, you are far more likely to get to where you desire, much faster than solely by your own desire. Not to mention, when you find someone else who is striving towards a common pursuit, you have the opportunity to hold each other accountable.
5. Celebration
Online communities promote celebration between its members.
Celebrations are so fun alone, said no one, ever. The truth is, when we share wins and celebrate victories together, it propels success in all directions. Celebrating someone who has given it their ‘all’ is energizing and activates camaraderie.
6. Support
Online communities nurture support between its members.
An uplifting community can create an environment that positively impacts its members through a supportive, safe, judgement-free space. Within this space each member has the confidence to ask questions and gain valuable feedback.
7. Growth
Online communities influence a growth mindset for its members.
When individuals are brought together to learn new strategies or upgrade their skills, they develop a learning mindset. However, when brought together to overcome obstacles and solve problems, we develop an impactful growth mindset.
8. Collaboration
Online communities support collaboration between members.
Online communities are a wonderful way to introduce you to individuals who you might not have met otherwise. Sharing common interests with other members can be a stepping-stone to new business collaborations, in which the two of you find a common ground that you both support. Having commonalities like pursuing the same purpose can be a great way to grow your business network.
9. Resolution
Online communities facilitate resolution for its members.
Having a consistent place to turn to for resources, and to find solutions to your concerns can be invaluable. Not only does this save you time by not having to search for answers on your own, but it also gives you a chance to get feedback from a trusted community that you’ve already become familiar with.
10. Fellowship
Online communities cultivate fellowship between members.
Fellowship with those in the body of Christ is a wonderful way to grow your walk with the Lord. When believers of Jesus come together, God is with us in Spirit, and we intensify a spiritual closeness that is unlike any other relationship. A faith-based community can lead to meaningful friendships that can be a tremendous blessing.
You have probably heard the phrase, “What you put into it, is what you get out of it.” And that could not be more true inside of an online community.
There is so much to be gained by engaging in an online community! Each time you participate by sharing or responding, you are letting your fellow community members know that you’re here for a purpose, and that you value community.
