TWITTER CHATS AS A PLATFORM TO GROW A

HOW DO YOU KEEP IN TOUCH WITH YOUR

COMMUNITY?

Community to me means a group of like minded people there to make real connections and share things that they have in common.

When starting a new community the first thing to do is find out where all of your potential followers hangout.

Be real with your community and they will be real back!

Twitter chats are a great way to bring in new followers each week. It’s a great way to continuously grow your community.

Since starting the #MediaChat community we have started a Facebook and G+ group for us all to post and share in.

I’ve met a lot of great and like minded people through twitter chat, it’s opens my World to a lot of possibilities.

A community is a group of people who are engaged, share, and enjoy interaction.

A community is a conscientious group where everyone is willing to give. They give of their time, attention and support.

Make list of twitter chats your community attends. And surf for other fresh forums to offer expanded dialogue options.

Twitter chat is my engaging, interactive centerpiece of building community.

Build trust by consistently being trustworthy. Walk your talk/follow thru. Be truly interested in other ppl/help them succeed.

Be real, be you, and use your voice. Your authentic voice.

Consistency. If you create the expectation you’ll be there, the followers can show up.

To keep in touch with your community, constantly engage with them (and use twitter lists).

One thing I learned was to be very patient. Building communities doesn’t happen over night. It requires time and effort.
