How do I add group members in the Community Media Network?
Adding members to specific groups within your Community Media Network helps you create more focused, relevant, and engaging experiences. It enables you to:
- Segment audiences based on interests, behavior, or demographics
- Deliver more personalized content and discussions
- Improve engagement within niche communities
- Support targeted monetization (subscriptions, sponsored groups, premium access)
Groups act as micro-communities, making your overall ecosystem more structured and effective.
