Consistency is key for engagement. Schedule regular events (e.g., weekly virtual game night, monthly film discussion). Even if attendance is small at first, stick with it. Post discussion prompts or share relevant content regularly to keep the conversation flowing.

Make it easy to join and participate. Clear instructions, welcoming atmosphere. Maybe have a 'welcome' channel for new members. Delegate roles if the club grows – someone to schedule events, someone to moderate chat, etc. Share the load!

Poll members for activity ideas and best times to meet. Since remote workers can be global, finding a time that works for most can be tricky. Offering varied event times or asynchronous activities can help. Inclusivity is important.

Keep it low pressure and fun! People are joining to relax and connect over a shared interest, not for another source of stress. Foster a positive and respectful environment. Good moderation is crucial if discussions get heated.

Use free tools to start. Google Meet/Zoom for video, a simple forum, or a free tier of Discord. You don't need fancy tech. The value is in the community and shared activities, not the platform itself. Focus on content and connection.

Pick a clear niche and define your club's purpose. What will members get out of it? Use platforms like Discord or Slack for communication, and maybe a shared calendar for events. Promote it in existing remote work communities or relevant subreddits.
