With Wix Blog, you’re not only sharing your voice with the world, you can also grow an active online community. That’s why the Wix blog comes with a built-in members area - so that readers can easily sign easily up to become members of your blog.
What can members do?
Members can follow each other, write and reply to comments and receive blog notifications. Each member gets their own personal profile page that they can customize.
Tip:
You can make any member of your blog a writer so they can write posts for your blog. Adding multiple writers is a great way to grow your content and keep it fresh and diversified.
Here’s how to do it:
Head to your Member’s Page
Search for the member you want to make a writer
Click on the member’s profile
Click the 3 dot icon ( ⠇) on the Follow button
Select Set as Writer
This is a great reminder that real community growth comes from meaningful interaction, not just traffic numbers. Encouraging thoughtful discussions and shared knowledge helps build long-term engagement. Even niche topics—like explaining how a Desuperheater works in practical systems—can create strong connections when the content genuinely helps readers.

This post was really enjoyable to read! I appreciate how you explain things in such an easy and relatable way. I’ve been thinking a lot about improving my online presence, and your tips gave me a better understanding of how building a strong community can complement a good brand development service. Thanks for sharing such thoughtful information—very helpful for anyone looking to grow their blog!
If you're scaling up that community (like syncing reader feedback from comments to team chats for quick wins), a seamless Zendesk and Slack integration is a total lifesaver—real-time alerts for new member queries or post replies pop right into channels, with custom bots for tagging writers or auto-responses. Cut my response time in half during a viral thread! What's your top hack for keeping blog convos buzzing—guest posts or live AMAs? Let's swap ideas!
Building a solid blog community takes time, but it’s so rewarding when you see people engaging and coming back regularly. It’s kind of like prepping for a big event, similar to how folks plan ahead for Black Friday Sale—you want to create something valuable that makes people want to be part of it. Small, consistent efforts really do add up. Thanks for sharing these tips!
