Build a Community for its Members, Not to Sell Your Product to Them

Do not use your community as a sales or marketing funnel without your members’ knowledge or consent. In other words, don’t try to fool them into thinking you’re building a place for them when you’re trying to use them as a source of income.

It is possible to use a community to sell and market your product, but do not base your community’s purpose on those points.
