How To Get The Best Out of Community?
So let me share some tips forhow can you get the best result from communities.
Find few communities of your Interest.
Rather than being an inactive member of 100 related or unrelated communities, it will be better to be an active member of closely coupled communities. Search for few “high profile”and “active” communities of your interest area & be an “Active” member there. It will help you a lot in a way that you will exchange information with the experts of your domain. You can get best out of experts' experience and knowledge.
Fill Profile Precisely with All Personal & Professional Details.
This will be your first step in any community. Anyone will know you with this page and information filled here. The page called “Profile”. You have to make sure that information, you have filled in profile page is accurate, informative and brief about what you are and why you are. You must be conscious about the information. You must include the professional information like your profession, webpage, etc. This page will add an extra factor called “trust factor” for you in the community. Many people lack this point due to laziness & sometimes get banned or no response from community members under the impression of a fake profile/person.
Introduce yourself To Community
Make the effort of introducing yourself to other community members by creating an introduction thread. You can state briefly about yourself, why you have joined the community, what you are seeking for and most important thing to mention is how you can help the community?
Community is a Give & Take Relation. Be a GIVER.
The most important thing is community is working with an agenda of “NO PERSONAL GAIN”. So try to help others as much as possible. Don't seek for solutions of your problem only. Also try to help others as much as possible.
Be Active, Be Regular
Being an active member is the most important thing. Sometimes we join the community by following someone's advice, be overactive there for a few days and then just put it in the last shelf. This should not happen. It is not necessary to reply daily or write one blog daily. But it will be good if you can reply, ask or write for/in community at regular interval.
