Calls to Action Have Benefits For starters, leveraging your primary site and email communications is by far the easiest way to reach your existing consumer base, since they are the ones that typically spend the most time visiting your site and reading the emails you send them.

Earlier this month, I wrote a blog post about how you cannot be a participant of a community without understanding the community members therein. It’s so new that the community is being created right now as we speak. And for that reason, you should join–now. That’s why Mixx has a lot of potential. So why Mixx?

That story hit the front page of Reddit and on Digg , and 67 people voted on my comment : Props to Reddit for visibly interacting with the community it serves. I still use Stumbleupon but I get frustrated with its slowness. We’re a small but growing community, and have a much more open philosophy.

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 I get fixated on one community and ditch the last, yet I still have my profiles on them and they usually get outdated within minutes.

But with all other social networks, there are rules of engagement that are determined by the community.

Great, now we have that out of the way.

When contrasted with the StumbleUpon model, the FriendFeeds and Diggs of the world seem to have the process backwards. A lot of the major content producers like publishing groups have too much overhead to compete on price with bloggers etc and there’s too many places to get the same content so they can’t differentiate.

Anyone can visit online meeting places like Digg and Reddit and promote the voices and opinions of others, and anyone can mobilize a group of people around a common cause on Facebook or elsewhere. Not just being talked about but be an active voice in the community. In a sense, they can become part of the community.

As a top Digg submitter, it worked like this: at first, people noticed my heavy community involvement and my participation , and consequently, my submitted stories easily front-paged. 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.

Don’t use a Facebook Group. 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).
