The Communiteer: What’s Your Toughest Challenge in Building Community?

  • Jake McKee · 1 year ago
    One of the issues I run up against a lot lately is how excited my clients are to launch a project, but like so many other projects in their careers, once it's launched, it's done. Of course in community, that's not always how it works - in fact not often does it. But they've spent so much time working on the launch they now have to get back to the rest of their job.

    And then, of course, they wonder why it's not growing at the clip they expected.

    Interesting. Do you feel like these clients really get it, or are they just trying to do the community buzzword thing? It reminds me of the time I was in a Radio Shack during high school when a lady came in asking for a "multimedia" for her son's computer. She didn't know what it was, but it was all he talked about, so she wanted to buy him a multimedia. Gotta get us some of that community now too, eh?
