With the continuous acceleration of the development of mobile Internet, community has become an important business tool in 2020 and has become a standard feature of almost every company. But social group ≠ WeChat group. The community is a comprehensive private domain traffic solution that includes a series of sections including official account content operation, mini-program service hosting, personal circle of friends creation + one-on-one private chat, WeChat group event planning, etc. No matter which industry you are in, you can’t do without the following four issues if you want to do a good job in the community: 1. Community type and how to position it? 2. What is the core value of the community? 3. How to conduct community traffic generation? 4. What are the stages of community operation and how to operate at each stage? This article will answer the above four aspects one by one. I believe everyone will be satisfied with the answers given in this article. 1. Community PositioningCommunity operator: The founder of the community determines the positioning of the community and the target group. The creator's ability and influence also determine the starting point of the community. Community positioning: It is necessary to clarify what the community’s goals are and what the user profile is like. In addition, the community positioning needs to be precise and small, and the areas of coverage, interests, and services must be focused, so that the community will have sufficient value. Before building a community, you must think clearly about "what is your purpose in establishing the community" and plan the relevant business model in advance. There are several common community goals: 1. Selling products: This type of community tends to be e-commerce and has strong economic attributes. 2. Provide services: Common communities include the online education industry or the Internet industry. 3. Expand your network: for example, XXX industry exchange group, XXX industry network resource group, and other such communities. 4. Gathering interests: The main goal of this type of community is to attract people with similar interests to jointly maintain an interest and hobby and build a small circle of common enthusiasts. To locate the crowd, we need to rely on data support. Through the following two user portraits, the target users of the community can be accurately positioned, which is conducive to the subsequent community planning. Basic portrait: The basic portrait mainly includes basic attributes of the population such as gender, age, region, and occupation. Identity tags: office worker, entrepreneur, college student, Gender label: male, female Regional tags: Guangdong, Beijing, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Age labels: 80s, 90s, 00s (the 90s are the generation with the greatest demand) Advanced portrait: refers to some attributes of the target user in addition to the basic portrait, mainly including the user's hobbies, areas of interest, topics of concern, etc. 2. Community Core Values1. Emotional connectionLet users participate in the operation of the community, communicate and interact with each other, and be willing to chat in the group to create a sense of participation, so that emotional connections can be established between users. So, how do you build a strong emotional connection? Chatting more does not mean that you can chat casually and simply in the group, or even talk about topics that have nothing to do with the community's positioning. The chats here need to be about topics that community users are concerned about, and be purposeful. If everyone has a common goal, the cohesion within the community will be greatly improved. Therefore, we can set a common and executable goal, such as starting a project together to make money. Although everyone communicates frequently on the Internet, they are still strangers to each other. Community creators can organize offline meet-ups to bring people closer together and increase user stickiness. 2. Value OutputIn order to operate a community for a long time, in addition to increasing user participation, value output is also very important. Only when the community is valuable to themselves and they can benefit from it, will users recognize the group and become active in the group, participate in community activities, and express their own opinions. Only in this way can community operations develop in the long term. For example, in a community operation group, the knowledge related to community operation and some of the latest industry news are value; the entrepreneurial ideas and resources provided by the entrepreneurial community are value. 3. Community trafficIn the process of building IP, by continuously outputting high-quality content, high-quality and valuable content can not only obtain continuous traffic, but also gain highly sticky and highly accurate fans. This step lays a solid foundation for community conversion and community marketing. Here are some common drainage methods for you to try and find the one that suits you best: Video platforms: On video platforms such as Bilibili, Douyin, and Kuaishou, choose categories related to your own community and upload them regularly and in a certain amount. Content platforms: Baidu, Zhihu, Toutiao, etc. are all huge entrances to content traffic. The platforms themselves have huge traffic and they attract traffic by outputting high-quality content through answers. Own platform: You can place group QR codes on your personal WeChat account, official account, and event posters to stimulate user interest, attract user attention, and thus divert traffic. Peer community platform: discover peer communities through search, and then scan the QR code to join the group; or follow articles on peer public accounts to collect information. Communities in similar industries have certain commonalities, and their fans are more accurate. 4. Community operation stageFirst of all, when creating a group, you need to clearly convey to your target users what benefits they can get by joining your community. Give users reasons to join, increase their willingness to join, and then bring new people into the group. (1) Invite users to join the group: Try to create groups in a unified manner. (2) Modify group name cards: When a new member joins the group, you can automatically reply to remind them to modify their name cards, or include them in the group rules or self-introduction. (3) Establish community rules: Emphasize to users what is not allowed in the community, such as posting advertisements, and what are the mute rules, elimination rules, etc. (4) User personal introduction: You can provide users with a template to facilitate their self-introduction. For example: [Coordinates]; [Working hours]; [Industry/position]; [Specialties/hobbies], etc. Phase 2: Promoting community activityHere are 7 common ways to keep your community active: 1. Maintain a harmonious atmosphere: greet and interact with each other in the morning and evening every day, and send blessings to group members on their birthdays and holidays. 2. Establish a common emotional connection: discuss and exchange ideas around community business to increase the sense of participation. 3. Bring benefits or resources to members: share useful information on a daily basis, help answer questions, and maintain the long-term value of the community. 4. Organize activities regularly to promote activity: hold sharing sessions regularly or offline meet-ups to promote activity regularly. 6. Implement a reward and welfare mechanism: reward active members and distribute coupons, red envelopes and other benefits. 7. Use social game tools to liven up the atmosphere, such as robot idiom chain games and riddle guessing. The third stage: do a good job of community retentionIf we do a good job in the community activeness stage, allowing group members to continuously obtain benefits and resources from the community and cultivate a sense of belonging and cohesion among members, then we can achieve a high retention rate for the community. The retention rate of a community is an indicator of whether the community is valuable. But in fact, user retention in most community operations is relatively low. How should we solve the above problems? It is necessary to manage users in layers and select key figures who are most consistent with the core values of the community and have a service spirit, and consciously cultivate them to become KOLs of the community. Offer courses or online lectures in the community to output valuable resources; output high-quality content through self-media platforms such as official accounts and Toutiao accounts; organize community activities to exchange experiences and share knowledge online and offline. Use some online community operation tools to efficiently manage the community: including sign-in, activity, summary of group chat highlights, group task release, etc. Stage 4: Improving social conversionA community is the result of gathering around a value point, and the ultimate goal is to maximize the value. The core point of community value is value output and emotional connection. In order to achieve high conversions, these two core points must be met: emotional needs are met; value needs are met. The actions to enhance community conversion can be carried out around the above two cores: Technique 1: Borrow endorsement conversion 1. Use the traffic of celebrities and influencers to increase conversion rate 2. Get support from big names and increase user trust 3. Participate in large-scale events to highlight your industry status and professionalism Skill 2: Social Network Conversion Chain conversion is a method we often use in the community. This method also uses the herd effect in psychology to guide users to participate and create a sense of urgency, thereby increasing conversion rates. Tip 3: Pain point discount conversion We must directly hit the pain points, meet the needs of users, and grasp the pain points of users. In addition, user conversion can also be promoted by providing additional benefits such as free relevant valuable information or services. Tip 4: Screen-sweeping effect conversion Guide users to forward and share online activities that use courses, information collections or preferential benefits as gimmicks. It is necessary to clarify the screen swiping time, content and other information in advance to attract more people to participate in order to achieve good conversion results. Share and get a book For many businesses and community operations, conversion is the most difficult issue. The conversion of a community involves many skills, and requires practical experience to discover where the problems are and to continuously summarize, optimize and improve. Phase 5: Extending the community life cycleBy promoting the formation of community culture and enhancing the "stickiness" of community users, the community will be more stable and able to operate in the long term. In order to extend the life cycle of the community, it is necessary not only to strengthen personnel turnover, regularly review community members, and screen accurate users; it is also necessary to keep pace with the times and improve operational methods, establish a sense of belonging to the community and a sense of participation in community construction; in addition, hold online and offline activities from time to time to increase resonance and connection between members and members, and members and the community.
