Comments on: “Managing Online Forums” Now Available! http://www.managingcommunities.com/2008/04/12/managing-online-forums-now-available/ Community Manager Blog: Battle Tested Community Management Solutions Tue, 07 Feb 2012 08:33:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Patrick http://www.managingcommunities.com/2008/04/12/managing-online-forums-now-available/comment-page-1/#comment-234 Patrick Fri, 18 Apr 2008 19:26:39 +0000 http://www.managingcommunities.com/?p=40#comment-234 Ms. Anderson, Thank you for the comment and congratulations. I appreciate it. I appreciate the suggestion, as well. The book, actually, is in itself a guide for someone who wants to manage the community by themself or with a staff. I would say that 85% of the book would apply to someone whether or not they have a staff. So, cutting the book down for just the solo admin wouldn't cut down much - the book was really written for the admin as it is. I'd be glad to speak with you more about this. That conference looks interesting. I appreciate that you feel that I would make a good speaker. Unfortunately, I do not have the financial ability to attend the conference. But, I'll keep it in mind. Thanks again, Patrick Ms. Anderson,

As an author I kow how much work goes into writing one. As a newbie to social media and as a speaker, I am curious to know if many forums are run without staff, at least in the beginning. I know you manage several. It would seem that there is a large market in the association community for forums and other online communities. Some people might read your book if they felt they could use it to start a forum without needing staff right away. Perhaps for those people, a quick primer ebook (for free or for $10 or so) might pull them into getting the book. If you could address that market, I'd like to have your tips for them on my blog, movingfrommetowe. Also you would make a good speaker at iabc. See http://www.iabc.com/ic/nyAS3.htm Patrick
