Community Managers in tech: How to build a user community?
Hi Ladies,I am working on initiative to build out a user community for a startup I work for. I am looking to connect with anyone who has any advice/experience on how to start building a user community? What is the best approach to reach out/find community managers and connect with them? Where do I even get started?So many questions, so any advice would be much appreciated!Thank you and stay fabulous,Liza
rkwalton·Oct 04, 2021rkwalton·Oct 04, 2021I’m late but just saw this. There are tons of community management professionals in tech and beyond. What I would do is join the Community Chat and CMX communities on Slack. (Just send me a message if you need an invite.) The profession is maturing, thankfully. Both of these orgs have tons of blog posts and events. There are also many though leaders in the space who’ve written one or more books: Richard Millington, Carrie Melissa Jones, Priya Parker, and others. I’m literally typing with my thumbs, so I’ll tap out here. Hope that helps.
