In our interview last week with Baeth Davis she mentioned the importance of finding a “tribe” to support you to be the best you can be. She gave Wonderful Web Women as an example of one of the best “tribes” she has seen (thanks Baeth). As with any community you belong to, the more you take part, the more you get out. Over the next few months we will be introducing ways that you can become more involved in our community and be recognised as a leader. Our first opportunity is for you to join us as a guest moderator of Wonderful Web Forum.What’s Involved?
- If you visit Wonderful Web Forum you will notice that we have different “sub-forums” or topic areas. There is an opportunity for 2 to 4 guest moderators per topic area
- Your responsibility is to start discussions, encourage communication by posing questions and topics to talk about and generally get your topic area buzzing.
- Your other responsibility is to keep an eye on spammers and let our “head moderator” know so they can jump on it quick.
- You will be expected to be consistently active on the forum and give real value.
What’s in it for you?
- You will be recognised as having a position of leadership and have the opportunity to demonstrate how knowledgable and/or enthusiastic you are
- The exposure you get through this process will, without fail, lead to new customers and joint venture partners
- Once you have completed your trial period of one month, you will be featured on Wonderful Web Forum in a new section called “Meet our Moderators”. This is an exclusive area for you to profile your business
- Separate forum area just for moderators to discuss ideas
Who should apply?
- You don’t need to be an expert in a topic, just enthusiastic
- Preference will be given to people who have contributed to discussions in the forum, and been helpful
- Preference will be given to gold members because you will be so much more familiar with the resources to help fellow members
How to apply?
- Please email us at this address with the subject line “forum moderator application”
- Tell us why you are interested in being a moderator
- what forum topic areas you are most interested in (you can moderate more than one)
- How often you expect you could post to the forum
- Any ideas you have to make your forum area fun
I’d love the opportunity for our team to get to know you better by working with you in the forum.
