25 Ways to Participate In The Community

Whether you're brand new to BathConnect or just looking for ideas to get more involved, here are 25 simple, meaningful ways to engage with the community — for your benefit and everyone else's.

These aren’t rules — just a little inspiration to help you connect, give back, and uncover opportunities.

🧩 Build Connections

  1. Introduce yourself in the General Chat with who you are and what you do

  2. DM someone after a helpful message to say thank you or explore a collaboration

  3. Invite another member for a coffee or casual Zoom chat

  4. Ask someone what they’re working on right now — and really listen

  5. Tag or mention someone when you think a post is relevant to them

📣 Share What You Know

  1. Recommend a local supplier, service, or tool you genuinely rate

  2. Drop a resource or link you think the group would find helpful

  3. Offer a tip you’ve learned the hard way in business

  4. Share your approach to something others struggle with (e.g. hiring, pricing, marketing)

  5. Post a behind-the-scenes snapshot of something you’re building or testing

🧠 Ask for Insight

  1. Ask for advice on a real challenge you’re facing

  2. Run a quick poll (e.g. “Do your customers prefer X or Y?”)

  3. Request feedback on a landing page, product idea, or marketing message

  4. Ask who else is working in a similar sector or audience to yours

  5. Invite others to weigh in on a decision you’re making

🔁 Create Value for Others

  1. Offer to make an introduction for someone looking for a specific contact

  2. Send a referral someone’s way when you see an opportunity

  3. Give a shoutout to another member’s work

  4. Volunteer to share your story or experience in a future resource

  5. Ask: “What do you need help with this week?” and see who responds

🧱 Help Strengthen the Community

  1. Contribute to the Member Resources Directory with something useful

  2. Invite someone you trust to join (if they’re a good fit)

  3. Suggest a WhatsApp topic group you'd like to see added

  4. Let us know privately if a conversation isn’t working — we’re here to help

  5. Be kind, curious, and constructive — that’s the culture we’re building

🙌 It’s Your Community, Too

You don’t have to be loud, polished, or constantly present to get value from BathConnect. Just showing up, sharing now and then, and being generous with your experience can open surprising doors.

Pick one or two things from this list and give them a try this week — you might just make someone’s day (and your own).
