Any business analysts here?

[Karen Black]

I am a member (and now also head admin) of a another pagan social site which is sadly dying on its feet. Activity there has almost ceased. I feel that it needs a business analyst to take a look at it and see what needs to change in order for the site to thrive once more. Sadly, the sites owner can’t afford to do that. So my question is this:-

Are there any “business studies” students, or retired “business trouble-shooters” on this site who would be willing to give up their time and take a look at this dying site and see what needs to change in order to turn it around? This would be voluntary. I know it’s a long shot but it can’t hurt to ask. Thank you for reading.

Thank you Linda for your reply and suggestions. I know the owner is on FB and has 2 groups there. He promotes his site there but I don’t know exactly how he does that.   
Every so often he sends out broadcasts to all members about the various discussions and groups there. He also posts discussions where he asks what members want to see on that site. The sites colour scheme is a black background with white and yellow text, just like every other Ning 3 site I have seen. I suggested he change it to a pale colour with darker text as this would be easier to read. It would also lift the atmosphere of the site and make it stand out from all the other sites like it. But nothing changed.

Discussions in groups, the forum and blogs do post to the homepage. I notice that they get a lot of views but few replies. I don’t know if that is because no one wants to be the first to reply or because they can’t think of anything to say.
I thank you for your help. I am now trying to respond more to the discussions as you suggested and I will try to find out how exactly it is being promoted on FB.

Well, here's problem number one--you missed an opportunity to place a prominent link to said website! Never miss a chance at promotion. Aside from that, it would help to amass an online following through other means. For example, I have a Discord server of my own (named Luciferian Knowledge) that I use to link to other Luciferians and to educate about psychic matters. It may be a good idea for you to start a Discord server for your website, and then use the Discord outreach sites, such as Disboard, to promote it. Be sure to use relevant tags that will be searched by many people.

Thank you for your reply, Zuda and for your suggestions. I know the sites owner promotes the site on FB. He has a group there with links to his site. Here is a link to the site. https://witchesway.ning.com/

Thank you Zhan. I will find it interesting to see what changes you think need to be made.

i can't access Facebook. i never have had an account.

It is not on Facebook. It is a separate site on its own. If you click on the link in my previous reply it should take you there.

That’s a beautiful intersection — business analysis within a space of awareness and intention. In my own work, I often explore how structure and intuition can support each other.

From a tools perspective, I’ve found that managing multiple identities or testing behaviors online (whether for analysis, research, or segmentation) sometimes requires containerized environments — especially when platforms track everything.

For that, I’ve used Multilogin, which lets you simulate unique browser profiles and digital fingerprints. It's more than just a tech tool — for me, it's about creating safe digital "rooms" to observe and act from.

Curious if others here bridge the practical and symbolic in their work too?
