David Zinger is the founder of the online community Employee Engagement. Since, May of 2008, this community has grown to over 1700 members.
David was a recent guest on my radio show. I asked him:
What are your three tips for other online community managers to grow their community by eight to nine fold in 18 months?
Here’s his 3 tips:
1. Love what you do. I think you have to love what you do. I am passionate about employee engagement. I don’t do it to build the network; I do it because I am interested and love learning from people.
2. Act like a host. If you are willing to set up a network, you must act like a host. Welcome people and try to help people to link and be connected.
3. Keep it interesting. Make it visually appealing and keep it changing. Find things that are meaningful and engage.
