There’s no ONE way to do community engagement, and there’s no one job title for a journalist who is also a community engagement practitioner. What’s the difference between an engagement editor and a producer? Or an engagement specialist? Or a reporter? What do any of these things mean? This “community engagement industry” is in its early stages, and is just beginning to define these jobs. That's good, right? Because you have a lot of freedom to define things yourself. It can also be overwhelming. Instead of starting with the job title, ask yourself: What do you need this person to do?

Can a community function without a community manager? The answer is both ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ ✅ Yes, because ➡️ Community manager needs break We all know community building and managing is. 24-hr job ➡️ Your core members can take over community for a day to function smoothly I have done this one day as I was overwhelmed. My top community members made the entire community lively ➡️ Your peers can take over Connect with your peers, internal team leads to spice it up with by doing quiz, interaction or any activity that will help them get to know members more This helps getting more people involved making it effortlessly a medium to collaborate. ❌ No, because ➡️ Doesn’t work in a long run Community manager is the voice of brand who knows what makes members interested, valued and engaged ➡️ It becomes a channel to promote Community managers keep right discussions going. They maintain the health of the community ➡️ There will be a disconnect Community managers are like the glue to the bond of brand and customers. If there is no community manager, there is a huge disconnect For a good community manager, empathy is their marketing language. Don’t miss working with them. You would never be able to witness the true essence of community. #communitymanager #communitybuilding

Indians are in-built good at building communities. If you channelize and focus on this skill, you can have a beautiful career path ahead. One: Every day, at least one company contacts me to ask for help hiring a community manager. Two: I find fewer people in the market to recommend. Three: Even if you don't find a job as a community manager, that's okay. You can start your little own micro-community and monetize it. Enough to sustain your life.

What it feels like a Community Manager??? Being a community manager is like setting out on an exciting journey where every day offers fresh opportunities, victories, and relationships. 🌟 Although it may appear to be as simple as arranging events or monitoring online discussions, people in this position are aware that it involves much more. It all comes down to creating a dynamic, welcoming digital environment where each and every voice matters. It's about fostering involvement, fostering relationships, and fostering a sense of belonging among individuals who are varied. You wear multiple hats as a community manager: you're part cheerleader, part diplomat, and part problem solver. You serve as the link between the brand and the community, making sure that everyone feels heard and encouraged. It requires striking a balance between strategy and creativity, sensitivity and planning. Even so, there's an indisputable sense of satisfaction that comes from watching a community grow—watching its members create deep bonds, encourage one another through difficulties, and share in successes. There is an undeniable energy that comes from being at the center of something special—a community that isn't simply a collection of people but a close-knit family brought together by common interests and aspirations. Sure, there are late nights and unforeseen obstacles. I gladly dedicate this to all community managers worldwide: the unsung heroes of the background, the creators of digital towns, and the defenders of connectivity. Though your efforts may not always be noticed, they have a profound effect. Continue creating, caring, and motivating. Developing environments where people feel like they belong is something we'll keep doing together. 💫 #CommunityManager #DigitalCommunity #BuildingConnections #Belonging"

Think of community engagement like this… You can only expect the return of investment that you give to others. 🫡 So if you’re not engaging with other people’s content, you can’t expect it back. It’s a two way street! Community is one of your most powerful tools, making it the difference between sailing through your job and it opening up avenues for new opportunities, clients and more senior job roles. ✨ #CommunityEngagement #ReturnOfInvestment #SocialMedia #PersonalBranding #Engagement

Ever taken on a community management role that sounded perfect on paper, only to find out the community's needs and dynamics were far more complex? Job descriptions often highlight ideal responsibilities, skills, and community engagement, but the actual role can be a different story. In reality, community management involves navigating unexpected conflicts, understanding member needs, and reading between the lines of community interactions. It requires adaptability, empathy, and a willingness to learn and grow alongside the community. Remember, job descriptions are just a starting point. To truly succeed in community management, be prepared to ask questions, seek clarification, and stay flexible during the hiring process. Stay open-minded, and be willing to evolve your approach as the community grows and changes. By doing so, you'll be well on your way to building and nurturing vibrant, engaged communities that flourish under your care. #CommunityManagement #JobDescription #CommunityBuilding

✨ Today marks the first day of my new role as Community Manager! Cheers to new beginnings and lots of learning 🌱 I would love to hear your story of transitioning into new roles, the challenges you faced and how you overcame them, or the best advice you received as you were starting! 📝 #newbeginnings #rpmcareers #communitymanager #professionaldevelopment #Greystar

Reminder: most of the time, your community members are ignoring you. This should feel comforting 😂 Why? I hear from a lot of my clients that they have awesome engagement plans created but they're afraid to execute them because they're afraid they're "annoying" their community members. And while the risk of community managers dominating the conversation is real, I always find it helpful to remember that not everything I say as a community manager is actually being paid attention to. Community members are busy people and they're not opening every email you send or clicking on every engagement post you create. Most of the things you say they aren't aware you've said at all. So go ahead: repeat, repeat, repeat.
