The very foundation of a thriving community is the platform it resides in - in our case, it's a Discord server. Imagine it as a cozy, lively café where people gather to discuss, share, and grow together. Your task, as the café owner, is to set up the space. And it's easier than you might think!
Kick-off your journey at the Discord home page. Look for the tiny '+' button - think of it as your key to unlock the café door. Clicking on it will open the 'Create a Server' window, the blueprint of your café.
Select the region you want to base your café in. This decision impacts the quality of conversation and interaction within your community. Opt for a region close to your target audience to ensure smooth, uninterrupted dialogues.
Here, you get to name your café. Make it captivating, intriguing and reflective of the community you're aiming to build. Are you planning to gather movie enthusiasts? Game strategists? Or a hub for entrepreneurs? The choice is yours!
Lastly, click 'Create'. Congratulations, your café is now open for business!
Creating a server is just the beginning of a beautiful journey of community-building. In the coming guides, we'll discuss how to fill your café with the right ambiance, the correct way to interact with your customers, and, most importantly, how to monetize your community.
