At Work with Kim Vallee: The Why, What and How of Community Building

Editor's Notes

  1. Editor of a women magazine Used to be : web designer, apps UI and software quality control
  2. Also write about... At Home = the editor’s page From collaborators, members
  3. what you need to consider b4 building your own community site what you are getting into
  4. More than wedding professionals connect with brides to be
  5. Integrates the community with the content This is what I will do - Add features to At Home We will concentrate on that type of communities
  6. Celebrities have their community sites
  7. Based on BuddyPress
  8. This is the most important you should answer
  9. You do not wake up and say that I will build a community site Is it align with your business plan? Needs of the people you wish to serve Running a community site is expensive ->Must be part of a business plan
  10. Growing traffic for bloggers is harder. Just last year, Facebook usage grew by almost 600%
  11. I worked hard since the beginning to establish it as more than a blog My goal: the magazine of the future A more interactive one
  12. Last year, I devoted my session on creating better content. I still believe people come back to a site for its content By richer, I mean more valuable for my readers More practical tips, find information quicker, is tailored to their life
  13. I spoke about that last year about this blog tragedy. The paper toilet effect which means that our posts are lost. A community site adds ways to give a longer life to content.
  14. Community functions are inside the site content You create your own delicious within the community Centralize everything on one page. This is a perfect example of richer content
  15. Metrics on the level of engagement You get to know better your audience Easier to go beyond the banner ads
  16. Metrics on the level of engagement You get to know better your audience Easier to go beyond the banner ads
  17. Develop tools that are relevant to your community
  18. Member’s profile: Latest activities, HistoryAs we all experienced in Facebook, Newsfeed promotes interactions with your friends
  19. Save, Ask, Discuss and Share
  20. The old and the new Transition period
  21. Call for Action Basic ways to Trigger engagements Highlights What is happening in your community
  22. The must-have is not enough You should build what is particular to your community
  23. Push the boundaries It shows the members right away that you care
  24. A like is faster than write a comment Important info for the editors to create more relevant content
  25. A like is faster than write a comment Important info for the editors to create more relevant content
  26. For Much Music in Quebec, thumb up/down is important for new songs They click on an adjective for a quick comment
  27. My husband and I created in 2008 status competition, a Facebook app. People click on an adjective to comment the status update of their friends And we compiled a scoreboard
  28. My husband and I created in 2008 status competition, a Facebook app. People click on an adjective to comment the status update of their friends And we compiled a scoreboard
  29. See the impact of Facebook on invites Their interface is the best one that I tried
  30. At the minimum, you Highlight newest and top bloggers The challenge is to think outside the box to stimulate interactions.
  31. Messages tailored to your relationships Mixed pages and friends Endorse rules - quality and trust
  32. Community that moderates itself - Craigslist Features and people favor interactions without your intervention Arcade games provide us with mind-blowing ideas. Ex: initials on plates of motorcycle.
  33. Need to differentiate yourself
  34. You will learn from the communityCommunity will help you to produce better content
  35. You will learn from the communityCommunity will help you to produce better content
  36. Your readers have good insights Experts and amateurs create something better
  37. Enhance the two-way communications
  38. Play on your strengths I analyzed what were the most popular Things I could make better, more practical for the readers/members
  39. It is aligned with what I already do
  40. Need a team - you can’t do the alone It is not cheap - set aside a good budget
  41. These are the sections of a food community Their process behind each one Do not underestimate the work - It is a complex job
  42. Since I run Wordpress Provides a core for must-have features
  43. Setting the priorities I will learn from the community and will adjust according to the results
  44. Exciting time for innovations
