While YouTube is great, my community is with other gamers who have moved on to Twitch.tv After a long day of staring at Excel sheets, Jessica prefers to wind down with Twitter and Instagram, describing herself as more of a social media lurker.

What are the defining characteristics of a community? To get to this point, it becomes necessary to define what a community is. According to dictionary.com, a community is. As community managers, it’s our job to manage a brand’s online (and offline) presence. It’s fairly natural to assume that as the leader, you are building and growing a “community.” Most Facebook brand pages aren’t actually online communities.

Denise Tanton loves lurkers. The BlogHer community manager, a self-confessed lurker, admires people who may be you who prefer to read and lurk than read and comment. In a comment about lurking, she writes : I know the word “lurk&# and thus being a “lurker&# sounds bad but really, it’s not bad at all. I love lurkers!

I’ve done a number of workshops the past few months with clients designed to do two primary things: Land a common understanding across the teams involved around what social media, communities and influencer programs really are and more importantly why it matters to a business.

What I AM suggesting is that you brands and companies give serious consideration to what they have to OFFER the community and what motivates their community to be part of social media at all. What you give your community, otherwise, seriously, why should they care? I can’t hear you! &# because unless you start by asking what social media tools your customers use and WHY they are there, that’s same response you’ll get from the community.

Community Growth & Sustainability. Community Growth & Sustainability. Community growth is a VERY valuable and important metric because it shows you’re appealing to your audience and staying relevant, especially if they’re not dropping off. Remember to stay focused on building the right community, meaning targeted followers who are a good fit for your brand. Building a community of disinterested, unrelated followers is ultimately useless.

To translate this back into social media jargon, you end up with an audience of lurkers (assuming they stay that long) when you are attempting to get those consumers engaged. If you do not make it easy, fast and safe for consumers to engage you will end up with more than 90 percent lurkers trolling your content. Curating community content to keep it safe will go a long ways for members to want to contribute and connect with greater frequency.

These things all grow your blog and your community. You know that most of your readers are lurkers, but how do you lure them out to become an active part of your community?

Engagers – These are people that are more active in your community and you’ll start recognizing some of the names. Community Responsiveness. If you’re not responsive to your community they’ll stop interacting so it’s important to measure this.
