Navigating the Community :compass:

Here’s a brief intro to the categories in the Community and their purpose:

Backstage News Get updates and info related to Make and releases.
Makerhood Start off-topic conversations, and connect with other users in the community.

Solution Exchange Promote your professional services, or post when looking to hire a pro.

Self-promotion in the Community :loudspeaker:

We value open collaboration and solution-focused discussions. If you’re a Make expert and want to offer your paid services, please avoid spamming every conversation with self-promotional comments.


Instead, here are some effective ways to promote yourself within the Community:

  • Introduce your business in the description of your Community profile.
  • Share information about your work in the Introductions thread, allowing others to get to know you and your expertise.
  • Promote your paid services in the dedicated Solution Exchange category, where members actively seek solutions.
  • Consider adding a link to your website or Calendly in your Community signature for easy access to your offerings.

:rotating_light: We want to maintain a positive and supportive space, so please be aware that any spammy or excessively self-promotional comments will be promptly removed.
