10 Tips for Increasing Community Engagement

via @KateDickmanMashable.com

As a Community Manager, I’m seeing an increasing amount of resources for current Community Managers and creators, as well as ideas for those thinking of creating one for their brand/company. This particular article is rather concise yet contains an abundance of ideas and information for those looking to increase engagement in communities which I find is the hardest task. Getting signups can be easy with well-run promotions but keeping them engaged and logging in is a whole other challenging task. Love these ideas!

Also for those looking for a great Community resource, check out The Community Roundtable. I’m more and more impressed with this blog and its contributors every day.
