By Shannon DiGregorio Abram, Relationship Manager at The Community Roundtable.
The first week in August is already over! Are you plotting all your last minute summer fun? Or maybe you’ve already hit the back-to-school rush? Full disclosure – I’m posting this from a mini vacation. As you read this I’m on the road to beautiful, green Vermont!
We are still looking for community professionals to take part in our Community Manager Salary Survey. If you haven’t had a chance to complete the survey, please do! It’s for more than just community managers (although we’re looking for those too, especially internal community managers!) and every response helps us better document the reality of the community manager role today.
If you know any community professionals please share the survey with them: https://www.tinyurl.com/CMSS2014
Six Principles to Win Friends and Influence People on Social Media – Dale Carnegie’s international best-selling book, “How To Win Friends and Influence People” was first published in 1937. I first read this treasure about 25 years ago and to this very day I still refer to it often.
Community Manager Salary Survey Sneak Preview – Part One – We’re collecting Community Manager Salary Survey responses until the end of the month, and we’re excited about the results we’ve already received. We can’t help but start looking into the data and wanted to share some early findings with you here:
5 Ways To Get Management Behind Social Business – Despite what you may think about it, social media has become one the most influential, fastest growing and most ubiquitous forms of communications in decades. It can create and diminish world leaders in 150 characters, unite people around the world to humanitarian causes with just a few clicks, and it can help companies accomplish large-scale business objectives.
Tapping Into Employee Advocacy – Including employees in your social strategy improves your reach and gives you an edge.
Interview: Learn the Secrets of Online Community Management from Moz’s Erica McGillivray – Today I’m happy to share an interview I did over email with Erica McGillivray. Erica is a die-hard geek who spends a ridiculous amount of time being nerdy (her words, not mine!), both professionally and personally. At Moz, she’s the senior community manager and helps wrangle a community of over 400,000 members, co-runs the annual MozCon conference, and works on whatever else is thrown her way.
Infographic: Social Business Driving Positive Outcomes – The findings from our July 2014 global study on social business indicated that “social business maturity” is related to the level of results that companies achieve. A new infographic illustrates how social business creates value, and outlines the primary drivers for companies seeking to advance toward social business maturity.
6 Huge Benefits of Listening to Your Community – It often takes an outsider’s perspective to learn about new opportunities, whether they take the form of flaws, bugs, or unique use cases. The most valuable opportunities often come from customers themselves — the people who are hands on with your product every day.
How this one simple chart made me happier in 6 weeks – I’d been actively trying to be happier for the better part of a decade – researching, experimenting, wanting. Yet it’s only recently that I found something that worked, something that’s simple, effective, and free. Now I want to tell everyone about it. Here’s the story of my personal Happiness Project.
