Hi everyone! so I've been welcoming new listeners for a while now, thought i'd just join the team finally! So i keep my welcome very short because I don't want to overwhelm the new listener with too much. I usually say.

Hi! My name is Nazeera and Welcome to 7Cups! I see you are new :) We're gad to have you as part of our community ^^. If you have any questions of concerns please feel free to message me or visit the Listener Support chat room. We are always available to help! You are a valued member of our team and we are happy to have you!

Is that okay?

Hey [listener's username], welcome to 7cups! I'm glad you've decided to become a listener. I hope your experience on this website will be warm and pleasant.

I read your reviews and I got lost in it. It seems that you're an awesome person and that you're doing your work well and I am proud of you. If you need any help, feel free to PM me or any other listener. We will be happy to help you.

LOVE THESE!

I have an idea!

How about we add an ice-breaker question to each of our welcome messages? So that we are more likely to get a reply! Here are some examples (pick 1 or 2 to add to your welcome messages):

Why did you join as a listener?

What is your favorite thing to do when you have a free afternoon?

What?s the mostrecentmovie/book that you?ve seen/read?

Describe your own outlook on life in six words.

If you could invite a famous people to dinner, who would you choose and why?

Who were two role models you looked up to as a kid?

What is your favorite food?

What are your areas of expertise as a listener?

(or think of your own fun question)

What do you think? Can we update our welcome messages to add a fun icebreaker?

"Hi there! My name is Rebecca, and I'm glad to welcome you to the amazing 7 cups listener community! If you ever need to talk about a difficult chat, I'd be glad to help out! You are joining a great community and I know you will make it even better!

If you ever want to talk, let me know! One fun fact about me: I play the trumpet! Do you have any awesome talents?

I look forward to hearing from you soon!

​How was that? Can't wait to join the committee! :)

Hey there, XX! Welcome to the7cupsofteacommunity as a listener! Its awesome to have you join us and Ihope you enjoy your time here :) Was there a reason behind wanting to become a listener?

Feel free to message me if you're having any issues, or you can also get in contact with a Teen Star or Peer Supporter to receive supports on any chat issues, they can usually be found in the Listeners Chatroom :p Everyone in there is super friendly, we can hop over together soon if you like so you can be introduced to your fellow listeners!

Your few first days navigating the site/figuring out how to handle situations may be difficult at times, can I recommend this forum post?https://goo.gl/vgzi56 It contains a lot of information if you have any spare reading time :)

I look forward to seeing you around!
