The best magazine
Well you have two upfront options: one is to decline this task and the other is to take up this task and frantically start searching for our fans / members.
Well if you have taken the second option then you may be tempted to join the fan farms [similar to backlink and linklove farms] or maybe you start the scary part - spamming.
So you spam on social sites, you start off rantings on forums and all spaces that come under the click of your mouse.
And yes you will be counting each member joining in.
And probably start to panic when anyone of those hard earned stressing member leaves your Fan Club.
So what would you do? which option would you opt for? Or would you discuss with your client and check to see the basis of such a request? Am sure there is reasoning to this request.
However will a target such as 'get me...
' really suffice and help in achieving the goals? This leads us onto 3 aspects namely: Quantity [number of members] Quality [right members that are relevant to brand] Engagement Level [level of interaction and involvement] While it would be great to have a huge Fan base it is necessary that the topics we communicate is relevant to them.
It is equally essential to get them dialoguing with us and just not having a one way communication [only from us].
When our communication is engaging only then we can be sure to a large extent to have a desired response.
Additionally we should remember that good quality of engagement would lead to a viral effect.
Thus automatically leading to increase in membership which is relevant to us and to whom we are relevant and bring value into their lives.
So building a Fan? Membership base takes time.
Takes consistency.
Over a period of time yes we could hope to achieve a good and healthy base.
What is your thought on the much wanted huge amount of fan base?
