Every time I tell someone I’m a Community Manager , I get a varied response. &# That last one might be the most honest of the three, since asking a Community Manager whether they tweet for a living is like asking a construction worker if they cat-call for a living, or a doctor if he asks people to say “ah!&# for a living.

It’s awesome people can promote knowing trick in the book about facebook and twitter, but do they know how to read the subtext of a situation and really get in someones world in a conversation. Hope that clarifies.

The point is that consumers now have a more potent aggregate power: someone with a problem can now reach others with the same problem faster, build a community around this shared problem easily, and mobilize lots of people behind the common cause more efficiently. Not just being talked about but be an active voice in the community.

You have to create content, be part of many communities, and proceed incrementally. Too often we see social media strategies that involve putting photos into Flickr, videos into YouTube or the creation of a Facebook application and then never revisiting the environment to engage with the communities around this content.

Don’t shy away from giving your community the information needed to find you elsewhere both online and offline. Let it be posted on every social platform of choice and then watch as it seeds through other communities (which is likely to happen and shows that your marketing is viral). Give them a reason to want to communicate.

Books Take Time to Write Last week, a Twitter user asked a really blunt but surprising question about how to download my book (legally) for free. My book is less than $20 on Amazon, which makes for a great deal and covers years of practice and training. All of this doesn’t come for free for me either.

These scenarios come to fruition in spontaneous communities, on social networks, and other self-service tools – all thanks to the availability of low cost technology and access to the world wide web. You can also not use the tools correctly or not behave appropriately within communities around the tools and market poorly.

So many people use LinkedIn this way; I’d be surprised if less than 90% of LinkedIn’s community didn’t. My book breaks down a lot of these definitions.
