Wild Woman Fundraising

Are you tweeting for your cause or company?

Are you posting on facebook for your cause?

Are you updating a website or blog for your nonprofit, charity, or corporation?

Then you’re a community manager.

Which would you rather be?

This guy? Or her?

So I was on Get Satisfaction yesterday and they had this infographic that was supposed to show you all of these little things that community managers are supposed to do and be, and had this picture of this guy who looks like he’s about to cry, who was supposed to be a combination of a punching bag/unicorn/sponge (read the captions, WE ARE NOT AMUSED)

and I just thought,

HEY!!! That wussy white dude may be a punching bag, but I don’t want him to stand for all community managers! I mean seriously, when is violence ever called for? So, to even up the playing field a bit, I made this!

I made “Inside the Mind of a Kickass Community Manager”

So next time someone thinks you’re supposed to cheerlead, sit down and shut up and take one for the team as a social media manager or community manager, show them this infographic instead.

Kickass Community Manager

Have you started putting info out there online about your company or nonprofit? Did you get your wrist slapped? Do you feel empowered to do everything you need to do for your online community?

   Thanks for your alternate take on community management. The pinata reference is in jest and comes from Heather Champ, one of the pioneers of community management during her tenure at Flickr. I’m gonna share your post with our community management team. Thanks!
