Have you ever hired a freelancer to make some memes for your community? I was thinking of trying this to get some new members.

Not exactly memes, but I do constantly hire them to develop posts or entertaining articles. So far they have been a wonderful asset, just make sure you hire correctly.

Where do you find the freelancers you use?

I would recommend giving it a try! Memes are a great way to attract new members and engage existing ones. I've had good experiences hiring freelancers from sites like Fiverr, you could start looking there

I've hired freelancers for some things but I don't know if I would hire a freelancer to make memes. I think it's better if someone who already knows the community very well would take care of that.

That's a good point. You don't think industry knowledge would be close enough?

I did some time ago. It was a fun way to get some new members, and the memes were a big hit!

The people love memes, but you gotta make sure the person making them is actually internet savvy or the come off a bit cringe

I can see that. I would imagine getting someone who gets meme culture and stays on top of trends would be important.

I would reach out to meme pages on Insta or Twitter and see if you can work with the admins. It's the best way to make sure you work with someone who knows the audience and can adapt memes to fit your community

Never personally, but I've seen plenty of memes that are obviously manufactured by people who don't know about memes so just know that's a risk you could run by having any freelancer make them

Yes and it's been great, people love memes! However, it took us 3 freelancers to find one who understood the community enough to create memes that made sense for us.
