Why create a chatroom?
Creating a chatroom is another way for you to become a vital part of the HeyPeers community. The chatrooms are always open and free to all HeyPeers members and are intended for text-based discussions. Whether you have experience monitoring and hosting text-based chatrooms or not, here are some reasons why we encourage you to create chat rooms.
It’s a GREAT way to introduce yourself while creating a sense of community and support for our members!
Chatrooms also allow you to facilitate text-based discussions and support HeyPeers members in your area of expertise.
Chatrooms help cultivate trust between HeyPeers members and yourself. This will encourage members to join a video-based support group meeting and/or one-on-one coaching session.
Before you create a chatroom, here are a few things to consider:
First, go to the Chat page in HeyPeers and familiarize yourself with the different chatrooms that are live and active. Join a couple, if you feel led, and participate as a member.
On the Chat page search, for a topic that you feel is missing. If there aren't any chatrooms representing that topic, you may want to consider creating your own chatroom. If there are already chatrooms that cover that topic, think about how you may create a chatroom that would differentiate yours from the other chatrooms.
The chatrooms are live 24/7. HeyPeers members will most likely engage your chatroom when you are not logged into HeyPeers. Before you create a chatroom, we ask that you make a commitment to go into each chatroom you host and engage and respond to messages at least once a day. If that is not a commitment you can keep, we do not recommend starting a chatroom.
