A community of Developers by Developers!

We all can agree that being a part of a good community can lead to exponential growth.

I love the DEV community but interacting with others is still tough, so I've created a new community `OpenSouls` for technical writers, open source developers and content creators.

You can join here: [dub.sh/opensouls](https://dub.sh/opensouls)

Yo! If you're still thinking, then let's change your mind.

## How a community is an ideal way to grow?

Community is where the real growth begins. 🔥

I've been part of great communities with less than 100 members and others being more than 1000 members.

I'm also a discord moderator in several others so I know how things work.

Do you have to reply to every message? No.
Do you have to read every message? No.
Do you have to share value? No.

If you do it genuinely, you can make close bonds (lifelong ones).
It's like free learning with others.

So, join a community, be there for someone, and rest assured, someone will be there for you too.

## Why are all the three domains together?

I do all of that stuff:

- I am an open source developer.
- I am a technical writer.
- I am a content creator.

I simply want people like me to keep each other accountable and grow beyond!

Don't worry, it's with a proper structure so you can focus on what matters.

## $40 for Lifetime Growth

I've received a lot of requests over the months with doubts and I always reply to them.

But we both can agree that nobody is almost serious!

If you want to be mentored by me on how to grow as a technical writer and open source developer. Then you can sponsor me on GitHub and you will get a private channel - it's like a lifetime growth.

To be frank, you don't have to do this because there will be lots of developers and writers you can learn from for free.

Read the complete details here on this [notion document](https://anmolbaranwal.notion.site/Lifetime-Growth-844e8b39890b4a9297427debcbd95e72) including how it works, expectations, and if it's worth the deal.

## Need feedback 

Okay, let me be frank. I'm very new to this. 
Any tips on how to run a good community are appreciated.

Or any feedback in terms of structure, content, suggestions, or anything.

I've put a lot of thought into making this, and I've tried to keep it organized.
