Content Plan

Page 16: Managing Online Communities

Best Practices

!! Content: Use high quality, targeted content that is varied

and interesting to add value, engage users and create a connection between them and the brand.

!! Frequency: Establish a good frequency of updates, (too

many = noise, too few = forgotten), with a casual yet informative tone that engages your core audience with

content.

!! Integration: Leverage the traffic from multiple channels by

connecting multiple social platforms and a hub from the

website to help funnel consumers throughout the network.

Management Imperatives

!! Transformation to a bottom-up culture requires

support from the top

!! The best uses come from users—but they need help

to scale

!! What’s in the workflow is what gets used

!! Appeal to participants’ egos and needs

!! The right solution comes from the right participants

!! Balance the top-down and self-management of risk

!! Leverage partnerships to extend reach, share content and drive conversation
