The idea of social connectivity is being social, sharing common interests, connections and passions. Having access to a network that brings you value and improves your life.

Are you missing the updates that matter or the conversations you really care about? You can search for community information and successfully find it on the search engines, not nestled inside a website that wants to mine your information and serve you advertisements. Make being connected simple, elegant and desirable.

You want a community that really is about the community, not about the host, which means it is about the members and the message – helping your community become discovered, and helping you discover your new community.

Your mind is the only limitation…connect around your favorite:

  • team(s)
  • player(s)
  • league

  • artist
  • movie
  • show

Effective Online Community Managers FollrSuccessful Follr Community managers share many qualities, but for blogging purposes we decided to share just nine of the most effective. For our second installment we follow up with four more of the traits that make our community administrators so great. See the first five in Part 1.

  1. They Have Solid Communication Skills

Community managers must know how to communicate concisely and effectively with their members. If communication fails, it’s the first of many dominos on the path to community derailment.

  1. They Have a Background in Analytics

Successful community managers know the importance of metrics and how to use them. If you can’t measure the success of your community, you can’t expect to achieve it.

  1. They’re Level-headed

The best administrators are calm, cool and collected through it all. Whether the day brings an amazing milestone or troublesome issues, a successful manager keeps a level head and doesn’t let emotion take over.

  1. They’re Flexible

This is a biggie. Some community managers can feel tempted to stick to a plan or vision with iron rigidity, but it’s important to be adaptive to users’ wants and needs. If you listen to your community and heed their advice, success is within reach!

We hope you’ve enjoyed these tips for being a successful online community manager. Let us know in the comments below if you exude another quality that makes you a great manager!
