Spheres of influence

If you build
it, will they
come?
Guiding Principles

    •    Focus on the members. It is a must that you have content that draws
         people in and keeps them coming back. User-experience is a key
         component.

    •    Repurpose and remix. Existing content can be used and reused. It will
         always be new to someone. Showcase user-generated content. The well is
         never dry when you find ways to breathe new life into archives and take a
         different approach.

    •    Make it easy for everyone. Membership is the goal but lurkers matter. It
         could take months for a participant to actually join a community. Provide
         some content that doesn’t require membership and encourages conversion.

But first, a story….




Angela Connor   Twitter: @communitygirl   LinkedIn: angelaconnor
“A continuous set of interactions,
 communications and participatory
 behaviors between individuals seeking
 meaningful connections to others.”




Angela Connor   Twitter: @communitygirl   LinkedIn: angelaconnor
People will participate in
     my community
     because…

Wrong answers


      •   Our brand is huge
      •   People love our products
      •   I’m a big-time popular highly paid executive
      •   We paid a fortune to have it built
      •   It has great features
      •   We’ve added Facebook Connect
      •   We’re better than everyone else




      None of these will sustain a community.
