Hi, Leah. Here's one quick tip for getting a discussion started:
1. Post a provocative initial Topic which asks some sort of question to the group.
2. Get a little help from your friends. Asking the question may not be enough to give users "social permission" to begin weighing in with their input. We suggest, on your first few posts, that you proactively reach out to a friendly member, in person, by phone or email and say,"Please help me get things rolling by posting a reply to the topic I just posted. I need to let people know it is safe and OK to get involved in the dialogue."
Ideally, you may have 2-3 folks who are willing to serve in this capacity of being catalysts to help get things rolling.
The above tip and related "how to's" come from our blog post:
