We as a community manager wear so many hats during a day. Working hours are limited and we have to do our best to keep our fans/ followers engaged and glued to our community. We are good jugglers indeed!
Let’s have a sneak peak at what exactly a community manger goes through during 8-10 working hours
Ups and downs during the day:
- OMG I just posted this and it received 50+ comments and equal number of shares. What did I do?
- When the next post goes up, it carries the hope from the previous hit post! But alas, every day is not Sunday.
- Why do the contributors send me their posts last minute? I believe they have not read about the word planning.
- It’s a utopian thought, but I wish I could get a glimpse of all the campaigns which are planned for the next month. My schedule would have looked so dynamic and vibrant.
- Pictures- where are the pictures with the posts? Nobody likes to read the boring texts.
- Half of my day is already gone and I have still not moved beyond one social platform.
- Nothing interesting to share today…hmm let me post a motivational quote.
- 100+ likes but no comments… I am not able to understand this.
- Management says lets increase the fan/follower count by promoting our community via social ads. But do not cross the budget.
- Facebook ads serves no purpose..focus only on LinkedIn.
- And last but not the least, management is asking—where are the leads? Why they do not see any leads coming from social media?
Being a community manager and developing the community is not an easy task. Don’t lose heart even if there are long lull hours on the page. Find the reason.
