1. Download Makua

Make sure you and anyone who is planning to manage your community downloads the Makua app and sign up if you haven't already (we recommend signing up with your work email or phone if possible).

2. Choose your community admins

Send the names & emails that the people who will be managing your community used to sign up to Makua, so that we can assign them an admin role.

3. Your community will be activated within 48hrs

Your profile will be added to the app and your community will be activated within 48hrs.

4. Write some posts to get started!

It's important to post some content before you start driving members. Plus once you post your first 3 posts, your community will be discoverable on the app to other users!

5. Invite your close circle

Before putting it on blast on social media, you want to build the foundations for your community, this means inviting your friends, family, team members and volunteers. (most people will be happy to donate $5+ to join your community, however, you can also utilize your community code to give them free access to your community).

6. Bring in your existing monthly donors

Before telling everyone about your community, you probably want to give your current monthly donors early access. To do this, we recommend sharing your community code via email or messaging them directly, in order to give them free entry.

7. Announce your community to the world!

You've written some posts, you've reached your first 10 members and your community is feeling alive! Now you've got a solid foundation in place, it's time to tell everyone about it and start growing. We recommend following the guide within the media pack we sent to kick things off.
