📢 Group Broadcast Messaging and Email Notifications Now Available
Being able to communicate with your membership is an essential tool for managing your group. Today I'm thrilled to announce the new group broadcast messaging and email notification features of Guildflow.
🤔 Lots of people will look for ways to make personal improvements to themselves this time of year. Group support can usually help so take some time to consider how your meetup group or community can help support people’s goals.
🥳 Happy to support such a great podcast!
We're sponsored today by @guildflow. Guildflow is the new privacy-focused platform for managing your meetup and its membership. Learn how you can take back control of your meetup and its information at guildflow.com.
📚 If you are thinking about starting or putting energy into a group or community I highly encourage checking out the Get Together book.

🍿 The video recording of me demoing Guildflow at @IndyHall Show and Tell last week is now available!

⭐️ Finding Volunteers for Your Meetup Group
The easiest way to find volunteers for your meetup group is to ask for help. Be specific and define meaningful, approachable tasks that are easy for group regulars to take on.

🎃 You know what really scares developers about this time of year? Time zone changes! Happy to say @guildflow handles time zones pretty well. It was one of the first deep features worked on.
Note the subtle EDT vs EST event times in the screenshot.
🥳 A custom about page is a create use of the new Pages / Editable Navigation features.
Updated the group about page with some current info on the group and volunteer opportunities.

📹 Publishing Custom Page Content and Editable Website Navigation
The open nature of pages and an editable website navigation lets a group make the website their own.

🥳 Some may consider it boring legalese but I’m really proud of the work that went into the custom Privacy Policy that launched today.
@guildflow takes privacy and group data usage very seriously and this documents how that is done.

Question on @IndieHackers: Why do some online communities fail?
Me: One of my highest priorities is to help people volunteer and contribute. I need to convert the group identity from "this is Mike's group" to "this is our group".
