What is Discord? Launched in 2015, this free online discussion platform facilitates the exchange of common interests between the various members of a community. Increasingly popular with individuals and professionals alike, Discord is seen as a dynamic and caring space for exchange and sharing, within which it’s possible to easily interact and evolve with users from all over the world.

Like social networks such as Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook and LinkedIn, the Discord platform has been designed to meet users’ growing need for networking. Whatever your interests or the topics you’d like to discuss with your community, Discord offers a wide range of features, instantly and securely. What makes the Discord platform an essential tool for boosting your business and expanding your network effectively?

Creating your Discord profile in just a few steps

Would you like to join the Discord network to easily share and exchange information, ideas and concepts? The first step is to create a friendly, engaging Discord profile that will make it easy for other users to talk to you. You can also join the Discord network by invitation, creating your account in just a few clicks.

Understanding the server system

The Discord platform operates in the form of “servers”, which users create according to the topic they wish to discuss. When you create your account, you can personalize your avatar, create your server name and define the rules appropriate to your broadcast channel. We advise you to opt for a friendly, catchy and easy-to-remember name that reflects the very essence of your objectives.

Define community rules

On your Discord platform, you can define the rules specific to your broadcast channel, which will clearly set out your expectations and the behavior to be adopted on your page. This is the place where platform users specify the rules for sharing content, but also for mutual respect towards the different members of the community.

Adopt a judicious organization to structure your exchanges

To make using the Discord platform as easy as possible, you can structure the server by creating channels around different discussion topics. This could be a welcome channel for newcomers, for example, or a specially created channel for server rules. You can also create a channel by topic.

To attract new members to your channel, it’s a good idea to use visual elements such as emojis to make it attractive and dynamic. We also recommend inviting members to introduce themselves, to help newcomers integrate into the group.

Organize events to energize your exchanges

The Discord platform is first and foremost a place for exchanging and sharing! To help your community members get involved, don’t hesitate to organize events, contests or open questions, for example. This kind of interaction will make your server more dynamic and boost your social network.

The platform also allows you to create polls or discussions designed to gather feedback from the various members of your server. Suggestions can also be made by the community. These inclusive exchanges are highly appreciated by professionals looking to boost their business and create a growing network.

Discord is an exchange network designed to help professionals (but not only!) boost their network and publicize their objectives. By organizing themed events on a regular basis, you’ll help keep your community interested!

Create a welcoming and caring space

The Discord platform is designed to encourage exchange and mutual respect. To build mutual trust between members of your community, your space needs to reflect values such as benevolence, conviviality and unity.

Discord, a friendly, dynamic place for exchange

Designed to enable users to exchange ideas in a friendly, dynamic atmosphere, Discord is also the ideal place to ask questions. Dedicated channels enable members to share resources (visuals, tutorials, guides, links to relevant articles, etc.) to help them deepen their knowledge of the subjects that interest them.

This tool is a must for professionals wishing to promote strong values such as respect, inclusiveness and diversity within a community. In fact, your distribution channel needs to be a dynamic, positive place that invites exchange between members.

The Discord platform is also designed to enable you to invite your users’ friends to join the community, thus greatly promoting networking. The platform can also be correlated with other social platforms to attract new members.

With the Discord platform, you can easily and strategically exchange ideas with a dynamic and committed community! Create your own Discord server now to boost your social network!
