# Community

> Discover creators, build connections, and grow your network on anchors.

## Overview

The **Community** section is your professional creator network on anchors. It's where you discover other creators, evaluate potential collaborators, grow your following, and build meaningful connections — all within the platform.

Think of it as **LinkedIn for creators**, but purpose-built for collaboration and growth.

<Info>
  Community is designed for strategic networking — not casual browsing. Use it to find the right creators for collaborations, learn from peers in your niche, and build a curated professional circle.
</Info>

## Where to Find It

Navigate to **Community** from the **left sidebar**.

> **Sidebar order:** My CRM → **Community** → Boost Visibility

***

## Page Layout

When you open Community, you'll see three main areas:

| Area                 | Location          | Purpose                                       |
| -------------------- | ----------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| **Navigation Tabs**  | Top center        | Switch between Discover, Following, Followers |
| **Audience Filters** | Below tabs        | Filter creators by audience size              |
| **Creator Grid**     | Main content area | Browse creator cards                          |

***

## Navigation Tabs

At the top of the Community page, you'll find three tabs:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Discover">
    **Find new creators** you haven't connected with yet.

    This is the default view when you open Community. Use it to explore creators across niches and audience sizes.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Following">
    **Creators you follow.**

    Your curated list of creators you've chosen to track. Keep this list relevant to your niche and collaboration goals.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Followers">
    **Creators following you.**

    See who's interested in your profile and work. A great starting point for inbound collaboration opportunities.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

***

## Audience Size Filters

Just below the navigation tabs, you'll find a **filter bar** to narrow creators by audience size.

| Filter                | Audience Range       | Best For                         |
| --------------------- | -------------------- | -------------------------------- |
| **Nano**\*(default)\* | 1K – 10K followers   | High engagement, niche targeting |
| **Micro**             | 10K – 100K followers | Balanced reach and engagement    |
| **Macro**             | 100K+ followers      | Broad scale and brand visibility |

<Tip>
  **Start with Nano creators.** Smaller audiences often mean higher engagement rates and more authentic collaborations. Scale up to Micro and Macro once you've identified the right fit.
</Tip>

## How to Use Community Effectively

### Discover Smartly

* Open the **Discover** tab and apply the **Nano** filter first
* Browse creators whose niche aligns with yours
* Use **Micro** or **Macro** filters when you're looking for wider reach

### Evaluate Before You Connect

Before following or collaborating with a creator, check:

* ✅ **Engagement Rate** — high engagement matters more than follower count
* ✅ **Past Collabs** — proof of brand experience
* ✅ **Content Quality** — review their portfolio in the Content tab
* ✅ **Services Offered** — check if their skills match your needs

### Build Your Network Intentionally

* **Follow** creators in your niche — keep your list focused and curated
* Avoid following at random; treat every connection like a professional relationship
* Revisit your **Followers** tab regularly for inbound collaboration opportunities

### Learn from Other Creators

* Explore profiles of top creators in your space
* Study their **Audience** and **Past Collab** data for benchmarking
* Use insights to improve your own Media Kit

## Best Practices

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Use filters before browsing">
    Don't scroll through everyone — filter by audience size first to save time and find more relevant matches.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Engagement > Followers">
    A creator with 5K followers and a 12% engagement rate is often a stronger collaborator than one with 50K followers and 1% engagement.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Check full profiles before reaching out">
    Always open the Media Kit before sending a collaboration request. It gives you the full picture — stats, services, past work, and audience insights.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Keep your Following list curated">
    Your Following list is most valuable when it's focused. Follow creators you'd genuinely collaborate with or learn from.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Important Notes

<Warning>
  Community is a **professional networking space** — not a casual social feed. How you engage here reflects your creator brand.
</Warning>

* **Creator profiles represent credibility.** A complete Media Kit with past collabs and strong engagement signals a serious, experienced creator.
* **Following is meaningful.** It adds creators to your network and helps anchors surface more relevant recommendations over time.
* **Profiles are built by creators themselves.** Stats like engagement rate and past collabs are pulled from verified platform data.
