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.

Just do it while giving back to the community as well. It’s about building relationships, spending time on the networks, and having regular conversations with the people you want to connect with who you will value for more than just helping move the needle and getting to the bottom line. Have you read The New Community Rules ?

If you’re not following the conversation regularly, your customers might just flock to your competitors instead. Then, when you’re joining a community for the first time, you’ll need to study the users and slowly build relationships with them. And you need to be consistently monitoring the space. Silence can hurt you.

Companies are still challenged with whether they *should* get involved in the conversation. The goal, if I understand you correctly, is not to help everyone, but to make everyone feel like they’re being helped (and hopefully helping some people in the process).

I needed to differentiate Digg from social media because they actually are part of a distinctive community (and as you know, I’m very passionate about Digg so it really did deserve its own category). I get fixated on one community and ditch the last, yet I still have my profiles on them and they usually get outdated within minutes.

Conversely, with a slightly more generic subject matter (and the occasional gag post), Online Marketing Banter seems to be a little more popular with Stumblers. When this process occurs two page views are counted instead of one, thereby lowering the bounce rate. However, bounce rate data for StumbleUpon is misleading.

The community had to react. There’s no real community in Digg. Most other sites you belong to probably have a bigger sense of community.

The scope of marketing needs to be broadened in view of the new dynamics that have employees, customers and prospects engaged in conversations – horizontally, peer to peer, in some cases even in co-opetition situations. Some communities are very open to marketers being there and contributing to the conversation.

It is true all of these blogs were not overnight successes and it took time for them to be where they are but you should also note that growth is a gradual process. Patience is required in building a community, seeing real results with monetization and building traffic. Some also build traffic but fail to build a community.
