Do you have an idea for starting your own community on Hive? It's easy to do at Ecency. com!
It was requested by @unklebonehead that I write a post about starting a community
I couldn't resist using a screen shot image of this promotional car that was designed by Butch Davis @fbrbdavis to promote Ecency as the title sponsor for SRE racing! Join the NEED FOR SPEED community to keep updated on their racing schedule!
On Ecency.com just click on 'COMMUNITIES' to begin creating a new community.
Then click 'CREATE COMMUNITY'.
This is where you can write a description of your community and add some rules, which can be edited at any time. You can assign roles to add mods to your community to help with management.
On Hive.blog you can find the feature to create a community when you are in your wallet and click on communities. I did a quick look on PEAKD and didn't find it there, but for those of you familiar with navigating there you will find it faster than I did!
I have found that the most difficult part of building a community is promoting it. Hosting a contest helps get the word out and I have seen communities who require all people who enter to tag two friends. Finding people who will be interested in joining and posting into your community is important for its success.
My communities have been around for a long time and both Shadow Hunters and Feathered Friends have over 2000 members, but that did not happen overnight. It takes a lot of dedicated people to helped build the communities. Huge thanks goes to all the SH and FF mods and contest hosts and dedicated members! . You guys are the best! Choose your mods wisely!
When the community has 100 members you can set it up as an Ecency supported community and the community will receive 20 POINTS each time someone posts into your community using Ecency. These points can be used as prizes or tips to reward your community members.
The first tag used on a post determines which community the post is directed into. Other tags can also be required if you need a way to make posts searchable and easy to find if you want sub categories within your community.
I hope you have great success with your community! And please ask anytime you have a question that I might be able to help with.
