"You must know the audience you're targeting prior to creating an organization that is built around participation" says Matt Hardigree, publisher of The Autopian. "I experienced issues that were resolved by people who believed there'd exist a readership already. The issue is math-related, but it's not a problem. There is a way to utilize every data source that you could find."

The writer suggests that, if you're writing on behalf of a website, you should take note of the number of visitors you've. "If you're on a site along with 10 other writers and we all want to begin something is there something we share in common? Are we part of 15% of all the site's customers? It's not a lot. Do we constitute 80 percent of the people that visit our site?"

Sometime in the past, The Autopian founders David Tracy and Jason Torchinsky made up 50 percent of traffic on Jalopnik. "They would have thought "We may be able make something happen and it's feasible to achieve this'," says Matt. "What's fascinating is David and Jason do not have massive amounts of followers on social media and this is an easy way of turning into clients. They don't need to purchase followers since they already have fans.

Prior to launching, The Autopian did a review of the competition in the automotive sector, as well as the media. "We know how many customers of cars utilize these sites. Take a look at how much we've saved then what are we likely need to do to succeed? Also, think about where these people come from? How many of them are aware of our identity? How much do we need to have to achieve the sustainability levels as well as sustainability? To cover membership expenses, what are we planning to spend? '."

The author goes on to add: "You can make some predictions, but they don't necessarily have to be correct, but you need every detail pertinent. When you've made a prediction you can use the capability to link the sources of information, as well as identify where you're off and modify your prediction. If there is no evidence to back up your claim or you're guessing, you'll require calculations to establish what's true.

Matt says that when you've conducted your own research you'll be able to make an "in your head" part "In the first half hour or so of the launch of the membership I was in chaotic! I was thinking, "What's going to take place? Once those memberships started coming in, it was awe-inspiring! We're also still conducting analyses of data and are always looking to see what strategies are effective and what's not."

Strategies for engagement and strategies to increase

"I think we're at 10 percent of what our members could have," Matt continues. "We've had success, and we've been able attract numerous new members but the first 10 percent of members is easy to obtain. This last 10% of members is the most difficult. Every tranche will be more difficult than the one before. Therefore, we'll need to come up with some plan of action."

Matt believes that 10x growth will likely be the goal for five years. "If we are able to reach the 50 percent mark of our goals We are in a way supported at this point through joining. If we manage to get to 100%, we'll be more than able to cover the costs of membership or make money by joining and would like to achieve that goal."

What are their goals and how do they plan in order to accomplish these goals? What do they have to offer in terms of benefits for members and how will they use these perks in order to lure new members?

Matt responds: "It's a balance because it's a journalistic enterprise and also a fan-driven activity. The result is three distinct groups of people in the way we encourage members to sign up and also to keep the members' loyalty through giving The Autopian feel valuable."

Strategy 1: Content

Matt claims that this is the main type of content. "We have to write something that's good enough and intriguing enough enough to be distinct against all the other material. For example 'I can only view this post on Autopian. You must be a valid participant of The Autopian if I want to make it a reality.'

"You're not paying to gain access to this material because there isn't an paywall. The reason that you are required to pay is that you wish for the material to be accessible worldwide." Matt affirms that autopian's material will be the most-wanted item "You would like this to be accessible so badly that you'll have to pay approximately $4 a month, which is $10 per month, or $85 monthly for specific customers."

Strategies 2 Strategies 2 The Benefits

The Bucket 2 name is for the various items users can get free of charge, like Discord access, clothing such as T-shirts, tickets to various occasions like trivia nights, and more, such as badges, stickers and various other things.

"We provide a range of items that you'll receive when you buy the car. The middle is cloth ($70/year) before vinyl ($100/year) then Velour for $250 annually. The highest price is Corinthian leather which costs $1000 per year. There is more of a tendency that people use Velour in addition to leather than you would think!"

"One among the items you will receive is a birthday greeting card. The co-founder of our company has a talent for drawing. We weren't expecting to receive lots of drawings. So he's created a better birthday drawing than we anticipated. There's a long way to take!"

A per-year rate of $1000 may seem like an excessive amount, however this was the thought from a well-established media firm Defector. Defector explained to Matt that he would be able to find several more customers that could comfortably afford the $1000 that they had in mind. "I thought"I do not know how much, however, how much would $1000 cost?' they said"Do This!" Matt was laughing.

"They have also voiced they'd like to get somewhere in the middle, because they're at 2 levels below other people," the report's author states. "We looked at this for a long time before we finally settled on 250 dollars per year. It's the ideal number. There are a lot of Velour members. This year, more people changed between Velour and vinyl as well as between vinyl and velour and vinyl. A lot more people changed from 100 to 250 instead of those who had a range of 100 to 250. It seems like we're on the right track!"

Autopian's Autopian team also has realized that their behind-the-scenes content is a hit. They publish procedural content like when they come across the content. They then create "Tales of Slack". Matt says: "We have our internal Slack, and it's not intended for use by anyone else."

"People make up bizarre, absurd, funny things!" Matt is laughing. "Our editor in chief David doesn't have the popular culture sensibility, so he's constantly puzzled by the world around him. He was of the opinion the idea that Ronan was Serpico. He also believed that it was an film by the title of Al Pacino film that was produced in the 1970s. It was actually a Robert De Niro film that was released in the late 1990s!"

Strategy 3. Fear of Missing out (FOMO)

"The third bucket of content and the one which is performing extremely well and that many people don't realize is FOMO. We don't want people to miss crucial details." Matt continues.

"We are currently using Discord which has a daily section to provide advice. The Discord located on our website is accessible and has only members-only areas," he adds. "I encourage members to share photos in chat "Here's me wearing my t-shirt with my badge on", and I want people to join in on this."

Matt states that the process of attracting new members is extremely effective so it is in keeping with the style of content you write. "Every often we'll issue a "Here's everything you get' appeal - to remind people of the benefits that members get."

They will also be grateful to their members: "We love our commenters and we're grateful to you for the reason we're so great. If you're not a frequent member, we'll try to be understanding. Not everyone has the money. If you're a student, no matter what that could be, you will be noticed. If you're struggling to get the cash, become the student. We'd like to welcom you to our community and would love to have you join us as a member in our group. If you're enthusiastic about this idea, and you'd like to be part of this group, please join us."

We'll then write an FOMO blog, where Jason writes 'Here are all of my birthday-themed artworks I created during July! People who view the pictures will think "God! I'd love the idea of that.'

Communities come in various shapes and sizes, such as parties for birthday celebrations with cars.
