Looking for advise on creating and scaling an online community

Hi guys!Im currently looking to create an online community for women experiencing hormonal imbalances after 35 years old and I'd like to build a community where they can interact to each other. Im starting from scratch here so any advise is greatly welcomed.
@AdrianaMont I'm also new to community building, just attended a virtual webinar this earlier this week that was really useful. Here are some key notes I took from the session/from my own research:- Tools: The tools or format to engage and facilitate community could be look very different depending on the needs of who it is for. it could be monthly Zoom calls, a slack or discord forum, or mightynetworks, circle, or FB group. What matters is it should meet the needs of your group- Users vs community members: They are not the same. Community are your advocates, your loyal users. Think of them as squares, that also happen to be rectangles (users)- Content: Content shared within your community should be driven by the needs of your members, so it's important to do research and listen - through polls, interviews, to collect feedback, identify their needs and to adjust your product or service features accordingly. - Models: The space model for communities was mentioned as a useful resource. I can share with you the link to watch the recording once Airmeet sends it over If you'd like :)In the meanwhile I'm also following this thread as would love to learn from Elphas who are experienced with building virtual communities!
