WHO AM I?
neilperkin.typepad.com
This is a presentation with a difference.
Because it’s written not by one person, but by many
It’s a presentation about the power of online communities.
And since almost everything I have learnt about how online communities work
have come from being part of one, I figured it would be best if I let them tell you
how it all works.
So I put a post on my blog, and asked them to contribute one slide on what
they felt was important.
And almost 30 of them did. Planners, strategists, digital specialists, media
owners
very bright people all. So look out for the credits at the bottom of their
slides.
I have added my own slides to give context and cohesiveness to everyone’s
thinking, but these are the words of the community.
So enjoy.
SO WHAT’S SO IMPORTANT ABOUT ONLINE COMMUNITIES?

SOCIAL IS BECOMING A
PART OF ALL MEDIA
STREAMS
Social dimensions are paramount to most people

and most forms of entertainment
“The desire to be part of a group that shares, cooperates, or acts in concert is a
basic human instinct.” Clay Shirky
Media brands are increasingly defined less by the platform and more by the community

“The other guys think
the purpose of communication is to
get information.
We think the purpose of
information is to
foster communication.”

WE HAVE TO RELEARN WHAT WE THINK WE KNOW
SO WHAT’S THE BIG SECRET?

ONLINE COMMUNITIES CAN BE A PUZZLE

"Over and over again, connecting people with one
another is what lasts online. Some folks thought
it was about technology, but it's not.“
Seth Godin

UNTIL YOU REMEMBER THAT IT’S NOT ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY
“It’s about relationships”
Andrew Rogers, Head of User Content Development, RBI
http://engagement101.blogspot.com/
“At some point the anonymity of the
internet transformed into a social
networking clearinghouse of daily
minutiae
and most of us willingly opted in,
choosing the ease and comfort of virtual
intimacy over a lonely existence of real
world disconnectedness”
(The Psychology of Sharing, Scott Lachut)

AND BEING HUMAN
Facu Medina, Argentina
http://www.alwaystrytogowithsomethingelse.blogspot.com/
AND BEING HUMAN
Communities are like dysfunctional families.
Dysfunction is natural, not abnormal.
Stanley Johnson, Senior Creative, Wunderman, Melbourne
http://branddna.blogspot.com/
AND BEING HUMAN
Online communities aren’t like the real world, they ARE the real world.
Being authentic and polite are the ONLY ways operate
As people change, so will the online communities they form - being
right isn’t important, but being right there is
Predicting how we form and shape our communities online is
impossible. But it is safe to say that the future will be awesome.
Sam Ismail, Digital Strategist

Higher repeat visits
More repeat custom
More loyal users
More loyal customers
Higher levels of interaction
More opportunities to interact
More useful site
Better customer experience
More content
More feedback, ideas
More traffic
More people talking about
your brand
More links
More word-of-mouth referrals
More authority
Something worth talking about
THE VIRTUOUS CIRCLE
SO HOW CAN I CREATE A
COMMUNITY?
WRONG
QUESTION
“Communities already exist. Instead, think about how you
can help that community do what it wants to do”
Mark Zuckerberg

Listen when online communities speak :
they often perform the role of an oracle

AND ACT ON THEIR FEEDBACK
AND GET STUCK IN
http://slimgoodies.tumblr.com/
Encourage discussion, be a part of it
Community is not a place. It’s about people.
People own their communities: brands don’t.

“One part anarchy, one part aristocracy,
one part democracy, one part monarchy”
Jimmy Wales on the Wikipedia Community

Every community has super-users – high authority, highly active
Know who they are
‘enabling’
networks
social
networks,
blogging
software etc
super users
sidekicks
citizens
lower
profile
content
generators
Gemma Teed, Strategic Planner, Brahm

BUT COMMUNITY HAS LAYERS, RESPECT THEM ALL
BECAUSE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF COMMUNITIES
COMES FROM OUR UNDERSTANDING OF PEOPLE

If you want to know what technology will change the world, watch young mothers and don't watch
teenage boys - young mothers have no time for any technology that isn't useful and doesn't work.

THE RAPIDLY CHANGING ROLE OF CONTENT
http://www.flickr.com/photos/inflite/
Media owners shouldn’t lose sight of what they’re really
good at: Delivering content
Will Humphrey, Strategist, Lowe London 
http://wannabeadman.blogspot.com/
BUT THE VALUE EQUATION IS CHANGING
Content = Attention
Content, tools, services
= Attention,
participation,
interaction, content
http://www.flickr.com/photos/wespionage/
Graeme Wood, Client Planning Director, Zed Media ... http://graewood.blogspot.com/
“Content isn't king.. If I sent you to a desert island and gave you the choice
of taking your friends or your movies, you'd choose your friends -- if you
chose the movies, we'd call you a sociopath. Conversation is king. Content
is just something to talk about”
Cory Doctorow
SO CONTENT IS NO LONGER KING, IT IS NOW THE ENABLER
SO SUCCESS WORKS DIFFERENTLY
http://www.flickr.com/photos/8998965@N05/
Make it as easy as possible for your fans to find it and spread the word
If the web is a mass of conversations,
then get talked about
Create content and services that are worth passing on
CREATE CONTENT THAT IS REMARKABLE

ADD VALUE

"In the past you were what you owned. Now you are what you share."

So What About You?
3. It means you get digital
the nuances and potential of social media.
And how it works. Because you’re doing it, not looking at it.
5. But most of all, it shows you’re bothered. You have an opinion. You’re not afraid
to express it. You're passionate about your subject. And real passion is rare indeed.
4. It’s by far the best way to network
FIRESTARTERS: 5 REASONS BLOGGING IS WORTH IT
1. You start fires. Blogging forces you to come up with new stuff. To be interesting.
2. It means you understand the value of connection. And are connected.
To great thinking and other interesting people.

IT’S ABOUT BEING GENEROUS WITH YOURSELF

THE MORE GENEROUS YOU ARE, THE MORE YOU GET BACK
Quote: Paul Arden “It’s Not How Good You Are, It’s How Good You Want To Be”
So there you have it
Thousands of pounds worth of consultancy
freely given.
That’s how community works.
Particular and public thanks to all those who have contributed to
make this presentation what it is.

A Presentation About Community, By The Community

  • 1. A Presentation About Community, By The Community neilperkin.typepad.com Image credit: http://dicksdaily.co.uk/
  • 3. This is a presentation with a difference. Because it’s written not by one person, but by many It’s a presentation about the power of online communities. And since almost everything I have learnt about how online communities work have come from being part of one, I figured it would be best if I let them tell you how it all works. So I put a post on my blog, and asked them to contribute one slide on what they felt was important. And almost 30 of them did. Planners, strategists, digital specialists, media owners
very bright people all. So look out for the credits at the bottom of their slides. I have added my own slides to give context and cohesiveness to everyone’s thinking, but these are the words of the community. So enjoy.

Being authentic and polite are the ONLY ways operate As people change, so will the online communities they form - being right isn’t important, but being right there is Predicting how we form and shape our communities online is impossible. But it is safe to say that the future will be awesome. Sam Ismail, Digital Strategist

the nuances and potential of social media. And how it works. Because you’re doing it, not looking at it. 5. But most of all, it shows you’re bothered. You have an opinion. You’re not afraid to express it. You're passionate about your subject. And real passion is rare indeed. 4. It’s by far the best way to network FIRESTARTERS: 5 REASONS BLOGGING IS WORTH IT 1.
