Defining the Role of a Community Manager is Not Easy:

What we can do in the meantime: Contribute to defining what that role is through promotion and education of various community manager roles. Examples of sites we see doing a great job at educating and defining the role of community managers:

  • The Community Manager: @TheCMgr
  • The Community Roundtable: @TheCR
  • #cmgrchat: Wednesday at 2:00 Eastern Time. Kelly Lux (@KellyLux) and Jenn Pedde (@JPedde) run this!

Other Popular Blogs for Community Managers:

Pinterest For Your Community: Is your community here?

  • Brand Page: This is your starting point.
  • Share Community Stuff: Articles, news releases, event pictures, etc.
  • Company Blog Posts: Increase traffic to company site.
  • Source Content: Take extra step and credit original author in your ‘description.’
  • Have you heard of Gentlemint? It’s the male version of Pinterest…
