.COMMUNITY
My name is Collis 
and I work at Envato.
Before I managed a community, 
I was a community member.
Envato. 
Influenced by my community experience 
Market, Studio & Tuts+ 
By Creatives, For Creatives 
Bootstrapped
Forums at the Heart, 
Mixed with Social and Blogs. 
Authors, Buyers, Learners, Staff, the Lot.
Big 
30 million visits a month 
4 million members 
1.5 million active buyers 
30,000 active authors 
70,000 unique forum posters 
1 million social followers
Community 
Business.
HBR & eBay 2006 Study 
converting customers 
into community participants: 
25% got involved.
Community vs Control 
Bid 6x as often. 
Earned 6x monthly sales revenue, 
And 10x more first time sellers. 
Spent 54% more in total. 
“Do Customer Communities Pay Off?” HBR Magazine Nov 2006
All Kinds of Community Businesses 
Wikia, Reddit, DeviantArt, 500px, 
StackExchange, Yelp, … 
Envato, Etsy, AirBnB, eBay, … 
WordPress, Mozilla, …
5 Lessons Learned 
Building Our 
Community 
Business.
It’s a 
People 
Business 
1 
.
If that doesn’t sound awesome, 
don’t do it.
+ 
Purpose 
Economic Driver 
High Engagement 
Direct Line to the Customer 
Product Ecosystem 
Hiring pool 
Evangelists
- 
Loud stakeholders 
Accountability 
More Responsibility 
Emotionally Charged 
Constant Attention 
Requires Commitment
You should genuinely 
be passionate 
about people.
Win-win. 
2
Create a 
symbiotic relationship.
Understand what 
your community cares about.
Your community will always be a little 
suspicious of your motives.
Win-Win 
aligns the business and community.
3 
Bake it in.
As a company grows, it’s 
pulled in many directions. 
You need a compass.
When the 
Community 
Succeeds, 
We Succeed. One of Envato’s six company values.
$1B All-time Community Earnings 
Company Goal 
(We’re at $206,000,000)
We report: 
Quarterly to Company 
Annually to the Community
Everyone’s 
a Community 
Manager. 
4
Induct Staff 
Global Meetups 
Profile Community 
Hire from the community 
Community Visitors 
Staff Authors and Users
Community Product Development 
Discussion, interviews, surveys, testing and 
annual roadmap.
DIY Launches and Comms
5 
Community is my 
most important job.
Community is a people business, 
People operate on trust.
People don’t trust companies, 
People trust other people.
Leaders and managers need to 
Be Community Advocates 
Keep a Cool Head 
Honest & Trustworthy 
Able to Carry through Change 
Be a Real Person 
Empathetic
And … 
Admit when you got it wrong.
Community is 
Purpose.
At the end of the day 
it’s not about business drivers.
Creating the Community Experience 
Encouragement, 
Involvement, 
Engagement, 
Inspiration, 
Connection.
It’s an increasingly disconnected world. 
That’s why our jobs as community and 
social managers are so important.
Meet the Envato Community
