​What does “Value” Mean To You? (Please Read To the END)

We have been building an online free community for business owners, marketers & entrepreneurs for a while now. We are just hitting 30k Members.

I would love to know what does “value” in business truly mean to you. Through the years we have seen people come & go.

Some of the common User profiles we saw were always these:

Get Rich Quick Kids Freelancers New Startups Networkers Old veterans in the industry wanting to hang out Scammers that try to sell courses/other sht that getts banned immediately. Investors looking for businesses to invest in.

I am aware that all of these ICP-s have different intents & journeys when they join. But what is something that would make you think. “Oh wow i’m really glad i joined here”

To you specifically.

Our overarching theme/moto is :

“Growth Through Collaboration” “A community for conscious professionals”

I like to think that the value comes from being an actual community & not just a “one stop shop” or “Jobs Marketplace”

Although others often said that such a huge community can get overwhelming & make you lose interest in being involved with it.

If you were in a position where you wanted :

Help Valuable Insights Community of people that know a lot about business That is FREE (This especially) Growth

How would you search for a community like that?

Would you :

Google about it? Listen to popular business influencer advice? Come through an ad? Hear from someone else about it? Look on online directories? Read blogs about Business topics?

What would be your preferred method of doing research to find such a community & what would be the thing that would say to you “Yup This is what i have been looking for”?

Would it be :

Reviews?

Testimonials?

Community activity?

Any more thoughts here?

Really thankful for any insights or feedback you folks of reddit provide!
