As a common means of operation, community operation has always attracted much attention, especially in today's era of prevalence of private domain traffic. So, how to do a good job in community operation? 1. Clear positioning: clarify the motivation for establishing a groupTo clarify the motivation for building a group, you can think about these three questions:
The answers to the above three points can be summarized as: having common attributes, having unified goals, and achieving certain values. If you understand these three points, then the problem of how to attract new customers can be easily solved. When attracting new members to the community, we can operate based on these three attributes. 1. Sales motivation: sell products and serve customersWeChat groups established for sales purposes have clear goals for the group creators, and members are also people who are interested in their products. Transactions are smoother and they usually survive well. The product must impress the users, including product quality, product features and product price; 1) Establish external alliances that can bring together members Even if you have a good product, if you don’t have fans and influence, it will be difficult to achieve sales if you just post some product pictures and information in the WeChat group. Therefore, you can attract fans by first establishing an external alliance that can gather WeChat group members. For example: create a Weibo account, use the influence of Weibo to promote yourself and expand your interpersonal relationships. Once you have fans, you can pull the fans into the WeChat group, and sales will go smoothly; create a WeChat public account; create a Zhihu account, etc. 2) Share high-quality user feedback Before marketing, show some good product reviews to group members, and frequently post some user feedback or screenshots of positive product reviews in the WeChat group. When sharing feedback, be sure to pay attention to the authenticity of the information. 2. Interpersonal motivation: creating a group is to form a social circle1) Building trust is the key to building relationships If you want to build a social circle in a WeChat group, the most important thing is to win trust. Whether you are the group owner or the administrator, you should first make efforts to maintain a harmonious atmosphere in the group and make group members trust you. 2) Activity is a catalyst for interpersonal relationships Interpersonal relationships need to be constantly maintained. No matter how many group members there are, if you don’t speak frequently, organize activities, or create an active atmosphere, then your group will become a “dead group.” Therefore, activity is crucial to the formation of a social group in a WeChat group, and it can be operated from two aspects:
Cultivate the habit of interaction (21 days to develop a habit). Group owners should not only come out to chat regularly, but also use other methods to liven up the atmosphere, such as sending red envelopes, sharing songs and videos, etc. Attract group members' attention to the WeChat group. With activity, trust and interaction will gradually form between group members and the group owner. Everyone's feelings will slowly warm up, and the members who stay will eventually become the group owner's social relations, and the group owner's social group will be formed. 3. Growth motivation: improve yourself through learning and sharingThe group name reflects the growth motivation: The group name clearly reflects the theme, characteristics and functions of the WeChat group. It has a certain appeal and can quickly and accurately attract precise members to join. It is simple, grand and easy to remember, reflecting a humble learning attitude. Tags + Topics: For example: Xiaomi+ study group, Xiaomi-sharing group Name it with a theme: Simply name it after the topic, product, or achievement discussed within the group, for example: PPT learning. WeChat groups for the purpose of learning and growth can be named directly after the topics, products or achievements discussed within the group. For example, the owner of a beauty company has developed a red wine facial mask, which is effective for removing freckles, improving sleep, and whitening. Then his WeChat group can be named "Red Wine Beauty" or "Magic Red Wine" to attract members who are interested in red wine beauty to join. Share learning content in the group: The learning content shared in the group must be authentic and cannot be promoted under the banner of learning. 3) Initiate a collection in the group Initiate a call for submissions within the group, guide topic discussions, and initiate a call for submissions. 4. Brand motivation: improve yourself through learning and sharingMany people set up WeChat groups in order to build their own brands, and such operations have long-term significance. They hope to use the WeChat group model to accelerate the growth of fans and build the influence of their personal brand. Group members become fans of the group owner because of their admiration and appreciation for the group owner, and also develop a certain dependence on the brand. Building a brand through establishing a WeChat group is a long-term reward, which requires setting long-term demands during the group operation process.
5. Motivation for attracting fans: To attract more accurate users
6. Agent motivation: Develop more marketing downlinesThe agency model is a common marketing model in the e-commerce era, and WeChat groups are the best way to develop agents. In layman's terms, the e-commerce agency model is to send the goods to the next buyer. Some agents may also face constraints on product sales volume. This means that when recruiting agents, you need to consider whether the product can attract agents to join. In addition, with more and more new brands, the cost of trust is getting higher and higher. In particular, cosmetics, milk powder, and maternity and infant products have repeatedly appeared in negative news, leading many people to reject and misunderstand agents. There are usually two reasons why WeChat group recruitment agents fail:
Solution:
7. Service motivation: provide more services to group membersA service-motivated community needs to answer group members' questions promptly and solve difficult problems patiently. The service must be professional and humorous. 2. Community ClassificationProduct communities: Similar to the fan groups of Xiaomi and Hammer, the communities are basically composed of product fans and loyal users, and everyone is concerned about the product and brand. Similar communities: Representatives include Shidian Reading and others. Community users pursue a sense of identity and superiority. Knowledge communities: The representative is Qiuye ppt. Community users are concerned about their own growth, so what they value is whether the community can continuously output useful information. Resource communities: Groups like Zhenghe Island, Changqing Club, and Qinwang Club generally gather industry elites. Users mainly expand their personal connections in the hope of achieving cooperative relationships. Project collaboration community: Representatives are all operators, etc., which are established based on direct material interests and personal connections. Mixed communities: The above types will cover some of them. Communities divided by profession, industry, etc. belong to this category, which is oriented towards BD cooperation, and this is also the focus of everyone's attention. 1. Start building a group: set up an operation team and set up operation rulesAfter clarifying the motivation of the WeChat group, it is time to start building the group. First of all, you need to establish an excellent WeChat group operation team, including [group owners, opinion leaders, administrators, etc.]. After building the team, formulate group rules for the WeChat group, create distinctive tags, and establish an interactive system. With these basic personnel and settings, an excellent WeChat group can be formed and lay the foundation for subsequent operations. 1) The group owner is the core of maintaining, managing and operating the group Its main work is divided into three parts:
2) Opinion leaders are the most prestigious and influential people in the group. Opinion leaders account for about 10% of group members. The soul of the group is mainly responsible for managing other members, maintaining group activity and highlighting the value of the group. What qualities do opinion leaders generally possess? Generally, they have a special skill, a fan base, are internet celebrities, are good at communication, have high emotional intelligence, have plenty of time, or are celebrities. The relationship between opinion leaders and group leaders complements and enhances each other. Opinion leaders participate in hot discussions, speak out actively, compete with new leaders, and coexist with them. 3) The administrator is the main force in posting messages and maintaining group order. There can be one or more group administrators in a group. Its main responsibilities are to maintain the healthy operation of the group, improve the standardization of WeChat groups, and make it easier for group members to communicate in WeChat groups; to increase the enthusiasm of group members, enhance centripetal force and cohesion; to cultivate the theme of WeChat groups and retain more like-minded members. Therefore, administrators must have good self-management skills, set an example, and abide by group rules; at the same time, they must be responsible and abide by the duties of group administrators. Responsibilities of group administrators:
Job requirements for group administrators:
Group administrator duties:
4) Group rules: organized and disciplined The group rules must be strict and clear. For example, it is strictly forbidden to add people at will. If found, the person will be kicked out of the group. It is strictly forbidden to discuss information unrelated to purple clay teapots in the group. It is strictly forbidden to use our platform to develop other products. If you report those who add people at will, you can ask the group owner for a red envelope. Reiterate the group rules in a timely manner to raise awareness among group members, and repeat the group rules from time to time to consolidate everyone's understanding of the rules. 5) Create unique features: set up WeChat group-specific tags In order to increase the stickiness of group members, you need to set a distinctive label for your WeChat group. The distinctive label can enhance the sense of participation and belonging of group members.
Fixed activities, such as topic discussions, practical information sharing, special lectures, and live courses; Let group members participate in designing activities, make suggestions for group activities, and even become event planners, in order to enhance stickiness; Welcome group members to have templates: After a new member joins the group, a welcome speech is given, group members introduce themselves, and group rules are announced. 3. Carefully cultivate seed users1. About seed usersSeed users need to meet the following three points: ① Urgently need products to solve their own problems, and the pain points are strong enough ② Willing to try new things, and willing to use them even if the products are not perfect ③ Willing to provide their own suggestions for product optimization In addition, it would be better if seed users can meet the following two characteristics, which will be more beneficial to the dissemination of products: ① Those who hang out in forums and BBS all year round and are high-quality KOLs ② Interested in the field where the product is located and can produce high-quality content. 1) Not all initial users are seed users Only users who truly support you are seed users. You must have standards for selecting seed users and choose those who are influential and active. If there is no standard for introducing members, it is likely to cause a large number of users to leave due to the mismatch between products and users. The quality of seed users is more important than the quantity: When cultivating seed users, careful selection is required. The hobbies of seed users should be consistent with the company's products as much as possible, or the influence of seed users should cover the product's goals and user groups as much as possible. In other words, the quality of seed users is far more important than their quantity. In other words, if your WeChat group introduces a large number of low-quality users, it will not only be detrimental to product shaping, but will also affect potential seed users' perception of the product. They may become prejudiced against the product and even stay away from it. Seed users can seriously give good feedback on product suggestions: Even if excellent seed users do not use your product frequently, they will still be active in your WeChat group and often post useful comments about the product, leading other users to discuss and interact together. Seed users may also become product developers, providing group owners with constructive opinions and suggestions, helping products continuously improve their functional quality. Therefore, the more seed users there are, the better, nor is it the case that the more interactions with others the better. What matters is the content of their interactions. If they just make fun of, rant, or even complain in the group, it will not only fail to bring good development to the WeChat group, but will also affect other members' perception of the product. 2) Celebrity Effect: Involve influential intermediaries Leverage celebrity effects to attract loyal grassroots users: It takes a lot of energy and money to acquire seed users for WeChat groups through the celebrity effect, and it is more suitable for companies with stronger financial strength. Ordinary companies can introduce experts or professionals in this field. Leveraging the celebrity effect can increase the overall influence of WeChat groups; enhance users’ sense of identification with WeChat groups, thereby driving users’ favorability towards your brand; turn users’ attention into actual purchases, which can help you sell products and ultimately tap into potential customers; continuously disseminate and create higher-quality WeChat group content; use brand WeChat groups as samples to tap into the potential competitiveness of products and obtain higher-quality user feedback. The dissemination of opinion leaders within the group is very important: Opinion leaders can add their friends or fans to the group, promote the WeChat group in their own WeChat Moments, or promote it on forums related to the WeChat group content. 3) Participation effect: Open nodes for user participation There is a method that has always been very effective in obtaining the first batch of seed users, and that is the participation effect, that is, opening up nodes for user participation, hoping to obtain the first batch of seed users through the active participation of users. Find the node to raise the topic: Where to throw (vertical website, community, emphasis on precision)? What to talk about (product-related topics)? When to throw? Raise topics in major online media and popular communities, and post on Douban, Weibo, QQ Space, Tieba, forums, etc. The topic you bring up should be attractive: If you want to obtain seed users through participation effect, you must carefully select the topics you raise, let more users participate, attract more people's attention, and finally form a virtuous circle to accumulate more seed users for the WeChat group. Create marketing topics: Through topic discussions (with participation of group owners and opinion leaders), you can attract more people to participate, increase the base of seed users, and know who your seed users are. Initiator method: using special identities to attract more people to join: In order to attract my first batch of seed users or core members, I can give a special identity to the initial small number of seed users, let them become the "sponsors" of the WeChat group, and then use them to attract more seed users. Steps to implement the promoter method:
Set the initiator conditions: Key points for initiator setting: What conditions should the initiator meet?
Key points for initiator settings: What permissions the initiator should have.
After granting power and identity to the initiator, these people will have a certain appeal and influence in the group, allowing the initiator and the group owner to attract more WeChat group members.
Provide the initiator with a large amount of useful information and valuable content for use in promotion on certain channels and media platforms. 5) Invitation mechanism: Use invitation codes to attract initial users The invitation code has obvious effects: The invitation mechanism is very effective for early users who require products or brands of higher quality. First, the quantity is limited, which creates a sense of scarcity; second, “one code is hard to come by,” which makes people cherish it more. Human resources invitation is a good choice: The number of the first batch of seed users is very critical and may even affect the subsequent product direction. Therefore, it is a more reasonable solution for the group owner or administrator to actively screen users and make targeted invitations. Face-to-face invitation: Special note: If the person is truly influential, it is best for the group owner to invite him/her face to face. This will better demonstrate the group owner’s sincerity and will be more likely to impress the other party.
The copy should quickly get to the point, simply describe the advantages of the WeChat group and the benefits the other party can get from it, etc. The language should be easy to understand and unambiguous, and include all the content that the other party cares about, so as to impress the other party and attract them to join; the invitation copy for different users must be different, and they should be treated differently so that they feel valued. Interactive listening: Listening to the voice of users Interact on the topic and listen to your voice. Carry out thematic interactions on different platforms to attract more people to join the WeChat group. Organize activities and interactive listening. Summarize and categorize. Summarize and classify the needs of different users. Word of mouth: Word of mouth is the foundation of making a good product. The group owner initiates daily topics to attract people, and group members are responsible for selecting topics and sharing, but there must be no malicious advertising, high activity, and full of warmth and care. Internal test effect: Decentralize user privileges. Trust is paramount, trust in the capabilities of the initial users and appropriate authorization of the initial users. The initial user issues the announcement, giving the initial user the right to post announcements within the group, such as some notifications or activity announcements.
The invitation copy should reflect the benefits of joining the group. After sending the invitation, a text introduction should be followed, such as what the WeChat group does, its nature, and who the members are. The text introduction should reflect the benefits of joining the group. Showing the benefits of joining the group in the text introduction can attract more users. You can write it in combination with the attributes and characteristics of the group. Free effect: "Free gift" is a common trick.
Content is king: Use high-quality content to attract true fans. Impact of the event: Create a communication hotspot.
Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory: grasp people's needs at different levels.
4. Profit channel: WeChat group profit modelFive monetization methods are summarized here: product-based, membership-based, e-commerce-based, project-based, and crowdfunding-based. 1) Product-based monetization model Directly product-oriented, the community realizes monetization through continuous product updates. Similar to Qiuye PPT, it generates direct returns by continuously developing new courses, and the courses are its products. 2) Membership-based monetization model It achieves the purpose of monetization by directly collecting membership fees, similar to Luoji Siwei. 3) E-commerce monetization model Luoji Siwei is also a representative example of realizing monetization through the sale of goods. 4) Project-based monetization model Collaborate on various projects and then launch customized products and services. 5) Crowdfunding monetization model Use the community’s precise fan features to initiate crowdfunding. Building a community is not as simple as creating a group. It is not something that can be accomplished overnight. You created a community on a whim, but what should you do if it cannot make a profit in the long run? Therefore, all of the above are things that need to be considered before building a community. 1. Discount model: Discounts are distributed regularly
2. WeChat group charges: charges must have value
3. Membership payment: focus on solving user pain points
4. Service fee model: promote products and collect commissions
5. Training model: Launch advanced courses and charge tuition fees
6. WeChat business model: teach WeChat business knowledge while selling products
Headquarters: Opinion leaders guide interactive marketing
Elite Company: Elite members in the group vigorously promote
Moments: Personal WeChat account sharing marketing
Official Account: Carry out high-quality official account marketing
Foreign Aid Department: Invite big names to join and achieve extensive marketing
Guerrilla warfare: making full use of resources and methods
5. Real-time maintenance: Don’t let WeChat groups become zombie groups1) A WeChat group without maintenance is like a store without products Maintain at least three interactions a day Maintain the initiative of group members 2) Improve group rules: create greater value for group members Improve group rules and enrich the inner Provide more in-depth value to group members 3) Regular cleanup: Group member review must be strictly controlled The review of group members must be strictly controlled Cleanup crew, no mercy 4) Active and effective: Actively create active topics Members must have a common goal Moderately active, in-depth communication Create a sense of mystery 5) Organize activities: Regular communication to build closer relationships Frequently share resources in the group Combine online and offline activities Initiate an event invitation 6) Red Envelope Bombs: Sending more "red envelopes" is a sure thing Use red envelopes as a greeting gift to stimulate group member interaction Attract customers by grabbing red envelopes Multiple rounds of red envelope rules Opening the training session with a red envelope Create exclusive red envelopes 6. Learn from your mistakes: It will bring you one step closer to success1) No focus and lack of long-term positioning
2) The wrong “decentralization”
3) Believe that the more group members the better
4) Too many spam, harassment messages
5) Overdevelopment causes the group to “evaporate”
6) The time of pushing information is irregular
