After establishing my community on WeChat in August, it’s already near 3 months since then.

In the beginning, I was quite satisfied with this community, even though they’re only 10 people, but they were all selected by me carefully, and they all showed the potential to develop in the NFT world. We changed our information and opinions frequently.

However, things didn’t last longer than I thought. The activities decreased slowly recently, members show ed fewer interests here. It makes me frustrated but makes me rethink as well.

Here are some reasons I thought might be related, and some feedbacks from the stakeholders:

Members barely know each other, only the topic of art couldn’t make them feel open and easy to talk with. It should take more time to let people know each other as well to have less pleasure for talking.

Most of my stakeholders are introverted, it’s hard for them to express themselves in the long term. It may be wrong, but as my observation, many artists and workers tend to work on their own, instead of socializing with people.

On my side, I found it’s difficult to always start a topic that will inspire everyone, and we don’t have the same target and topic, just small talks are hard to keep activity.

Overall, this intervention is kinda at a standstill at this moment, however, my stakeholders truly benefit from this group and gain what they need. If this is the time to take a break, then I will just let thing goes as it should be.

After reviewing feedback from dragons, they all mentioned that I might need to narrow down the question again and create my own niche. It leads me to think seriously if my question should be back to focus on the artists again.

However, I want to make clear first that the main reason I developed my intervention to educate art lovers rather than cooperating with the emerging artists, is there’s not much solid soil to cultivate the artists yet. During my early conversations, it always happens that the stakeholders have no idea about the Crypto world for many reasons. There is a gap between Chinese artists and NFT at that moment. So I think education might be the emergency step for them.

I believe my last several interventions towards Chinese art lovers were successful, meanwhile, the tutors’ narrowing down the question feedback is justified. It’s time for me to set the stakeholders back to emerging Chinese artists again.

All the interventions and conversations wouldn’t be wasted, they’re all the process of my question.
