[Jasmine]

In order to do digital marketing, you will have to build an online community. The online community can be an email subscribers, social media pages and groups, or even online discussion boards. Here’s how you can do it.

1. Identifying your target audience: This is most important. You need to understanding the demographics, interests, and needs of the people. You will also have to see if you can cater to these people. Your niche should perfectly match with your audience interest.
2. Choosing the right platform: You can build communities on social platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Discord, Reddit, WhatsApp, Telegram, etc. The most important thing is your audience should be genuinely interested in your products and services
3. Defining your community's purpose and values: You need to have a goal. Why are you building your community. Making money is not the appropriate answer even though you are ultimately looking for making money. You should have a goal such as “helping people interested in making money online” “providing resources for home gardeners” etc. You need to communicate your community's goals, values, and rules.
4. Building a community culture: You should be respectful of the members, and you need to remind your members to be respectful to each other. You will have to engage your members in discussion and interaction. You can do this by organizing live session, question and answer session, contests, polls, etc. This will improve community culture and also strengthen the community.

When you are able to build online communities, you can bring people together in one place and facilitate learning and growth. Online communities are not only for marketing purposes, they are also for providing valuable benefits for individuals and businesses. However, just because you have created an online community does not mean you can meet your purpose. You will continuously focus on growing and scaling your community. You will have to encourage members to invite their friends and family, and actively promote the community on other platforms as well. You can build an active community by regularly creating new content, and encouraging members to become active.
