Between layoffs, parents who left their jobs to care for kids, and \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2021\/06\/24\/1007914455\/as-the-pandemic-recedes-millions-of-workers-are-saying-i-quit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the Great Resignation<\/a>,\u201d workers are using this moment as an opportunity to make more intentional choices about their careers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More and more people are turning to Meetup as a place to strike out on their own. No matter your passion and skills, Meetup can help you find a community, and in turn, your customers. Whether you\u2019re an artist looking to monetize your passion, a small business owner looking to expand your customer base, or a tour guide looking to build an audience, there\u2019s no better time than now to harness the power of Meetup to make your dreams a reality. Here are some ways to get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-learn-by-example\">Learn by example<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best ways to figure out how to structure your Meetup group and events is to learn from organizers who have already found success on the platform. Consider this an incubation phase where you can find inspiration and learn about resources. After attending some events hosted by successful Meetup groups ask yourself:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>What are some things you particularly like about the structure?<\/li><li>What are some things you\u2019d definitely do differently?<\/li><li>What are some potential obstacles you\u2019ll need to plan for?<\/li><li>How did the organizer make attendees feel instantly welcome?<\/li><li>What tools were used to keep everyone engaged?<\/li><li>In what ways did the organizer promote and nourish their community?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Meetup organizers are natural helpers, so feel free to see if an organizer you find especially inspirational would be willing to do an informational session or virtual coffee chat. Ask them what they did to become successful on the platform and what roadblocks you should be prepared to troubleshoot. Who knows, you might even end up finding the perfect business partner on Meetup just like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meetup.com\/blog\/q-and-a-with-entrepreneur-alexandra-fine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CEO of Dame, Alexandra Fine<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Customize the look and feel of your group<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you\u2019re branding your group appropriately. Branding applies to everything from the images used for the group and events, language in a description, to the name of the group itself. Good branding is essential as it helps create a consistent, coherent experience for customers and makes your group stand out by looking more polished and professional. Put your best foot forward by selecting the perfect name for your group and pairing it with a well-crafted description. Make sure the name is accurate, descriptive, and neither too broad nor too specific.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re focusing on a niche topic or activity, be sure to mention it in the title to make it easier for your target audience to find you. When it comes to the description, it\u2019s best to keep it short and sweet while still hitting all the relevant details and buzzwords. Make sure both the name and the description are unique and authentic to you and the business you\u2019re launching, as this will not only help people find you but will ensure your group is branded appropriately.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a great example of how to accomplish this, look no further than Meetup group <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meetup.com\/Street-Art-Tour-Paris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Street Art Tour Paris<\/a>. The group\u2019s title perfectly explains everything you need to know about the group and what you can expect from an event. The description goes into more specific details and introduces members to the organizer.

By \u201cthey,\u201d we mean Meetup members looking for a fun, community-centered experience. When you start a new group, Meetup automatically promotes it to members who have an interest in your group\u2019s topics.&nbsp; With that said, it never hurts to promote your Meetup group (and by extension your brand) on other social media channels including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and LinkedIn. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meetup.com\/blog\/attracting-the-right-audience\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more<\/a> about getting your new group off the ground from Shakayra Stern, organizer of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meetup.com\/NYC-Mixed-Girls-Meet-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mixed Girl Meetup<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1095\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meetup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/business_blog_2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6906\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meetup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/business_blog_2.png 1095w, https:\/\/www.meetup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/business_blog_2-548x315.png 548w, https:\/\/www.meetup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/business_blog_2-768x442.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1095px) 100vw, 1095px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How and when to charge&nbsp;<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>There are so many ways to monetize your group, from charging membership fees within our platform, arranging payment through Venmo or CashApp. Just be sure to make your fees clear in the event description and set up a method for ensuring people can\u2019t attend without paying the fee.

Avoid overly self-promotional overtures, covert sales pitches, or MLM-style business tactics. If your product is great and your personality shining, you\u2019ll have no problem finding plenty of customers. Just make sure you\u2019re making group members feel enriched and empowered rather than swindled and duped.
