Online Community Organizer - job of the future - Seth Godin

Posted by Marshall on July 19, 2007 | Link It

Online Community Organizer is a job of the future, according to Seth Godin.

"..It would help if that person understood technology, at least well enough to know what it could do. They would need to be able to write. But they also have to be able to seduce stragglers into joining the group in the first place, so they have to be able to understand a marketplace, do outbound selling and non-electronic communications. They have to be able to balance huge amounts of inbound correspondence without making people feel left out, and they have to be able to walk the fine line between rejecting trolls and alienating the good guys.

Since there's no rule book, it would help to be willing to try new things, to be self-starting and obsessed with measurement as well.

If you were great at this, I'd imagine you'd never ever have trouble finding good work."

Based on Seth Godin's description I could be a good fit for an Online Community Organizer spot; in fact, I already started my own Social Network to run the WAA Social Media Committee which I'm the Director of.

Yes, I think this profile gives you a wide scope to try and actually see what works - and I am already on to it as I am already handling a big community and I have seen how the smallest of additions can make huge difference..

Infact, I am already thinking of starting a new buzz for my company as well…
