Quiet Dispositions of Communities
Ways of Engaging the Community
Creators of projects that are still in the development phase can show off their progress, share their roadmap, and keep their backers informed about their constant evolution. Each shared piece of content can be used to engage with the community.
Use of Existing Content
Using already available resources, the community engagement manager can keep the community informed about the latest developments and look for feedback that could improve the project. This could also spark discussion about personal use-cases and the way users would benefit from the project’s outcome themselves. The more comfortable the community members feel, the more likely it is that they share their personal stories, contributing to a more tight-knit group of individuals.
Visual Interludes
Using visual aids is another type of community management strategy. Not only do pictures, infographics, and repurposing of content provide the chat with a break from the constant textual back-and-forth, but it also illustrates the current news surrounding the project. This, in turn, can provide the ground for discussions and Q&A sessions that contribute to the livelihood of the community.
