What makes a great online community? To answer that, you need to take into account the purpose of the community and what the members get out of participating. As an active contributor in SCN, you'll find that regular participation can help boost your career and keep your job skills current.
In fact, a recent Fast Company article refers to "SCN as a B2B Social Media Juggernaut." As Chip Rodgers, Vice President and COO of SAP Community Network, points out with regard to SCN, not only are the numbers good (1.5 million unique visitors per month and up to 4,000 posts per day), but where other communities may have more members but feel like ghost towns, SCN has vibrancy.
"There is no doubt that you can get added value out of being an active SAP Community Member and engaging SAP on Social Media," said regular contributor Tom Cemens in a recent blog post. But how do you measure the value and balance your time on social media? One way is to focus on what you can contribute and how often.
Did you realize the @SAPCommNet Twitter page now has a "Social Media & Social Networks" blog category http://ht.ly/5ZkeP with lots of great #SAP blogs? Check it out, then learn how to get started and best manage your time on social media.
Sincerely,
Talila Baron
Managing Editor
