Should We Do This? A Decision Framework For Community Tactics

October 4, 2018 By mark david mcCreary

It can be easy for a vibrant, engaged community to exhaust itself chasing a lot of new ideas that never really work out. You should always ask yourself how a new tactic will contribute to the goals of the community, and whether it is, in fact, the best way of advancing them. You also need to ask yourself how to trial the idea and what other things you will have to reallocate time and energy away from in the name of your new project.

Key Takeaways:

  • Some people like to feel as if they are a a part of something that is larger just themselves.
  • Being apart of a team, or a community, is something that people hold very close to their heat.
  • You never know if something will work unless you get up and actually try to make it happen.

“You might run a simple competition, have a video week (or month), allow just the very top members to create and share videos, pull in existing videos from other sources and see if they’re a hit etc…Most of the time, a tactic is a complete dud and needs to be refined or tossed out. Never do something big without a small trial first.”
