# Community building ### Give your community a common goal and content that's hard to find. For free **Story:** Questbook couldn't grow its community until one of its Co-Founders - Madhavan - created 120 free tutorials that helped web2 devs learn the basics of web3. Since free high-quality courses back then were scarce, many community members shared these tutorials with other people on Twitter and Discord. This content and having a common goal helped Questbook's community to grow from almost 0 to 15,000+ devs in 2.5 months. **Source:** Web3 Talks, Episode #1, Madhavan Malolan, Co-Founder & CEO @ Questbook Timestamped: [YouTube](https://youtu.be/sM3b7W-EQvg?t=372), [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/episode/7GcPrtGvtbV16aLCW0H7FD?si=lX26umhnSsOyTd3D2a5RyQ\&t=330) Non Timestamped: [Apple](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/1-madhavan-malolan-founder-questbook-building-web3/id1595653866?i=1000542126040) ### Don't outsource the community-building to a Community Manager early on **Story:** Questbook hired community managers in the early days, but their community hasn't taken off. It changed when Sriharsha, their Co-Founder, became the face and motor of their community, spending 16-18 hours a day on Discord, talking with people and running onboarding session **Source:** Timestamped: [YouTube](https://youtu.be/sM3b7W-EQvg?t=557), [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/episode/7GcPrtGvtbV16aLCW0H7FD?si=CTzaukNkQ56Qtp10Zoycrw\&t=459) Non Timestamped: [Apple](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/1-madhavan-malolan-founder-questbook-building-web3/id1595653866?i=1000542126040) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
