Ivan Garcia , creator of Vagos.es , now sold at Wamba , explains the guidelines for how a community develops from the user side:
- In an important user community are a group of expert users in the subject matter, the rest of the community of users will follow these people.
- Expert users have to be participatory in the community because otherwise their presence will not be highlighted.
- The added value of the community are the contributions of these users experts, but all the contributions of other users.
- To create a community around a product or theme must have in principle a potential audience to this product or themes.
- In a community has to be a leader.
- The leader of a community can not exercise its "power" is overwhelmingly on the other users., In fact Ideally, this leader appears at specific moments or transcendent.
- There will always be users against total community (trolls). Such users must try to remove them from the community without exercise (or appear to) a censure upon them, as it can turn against you.
- The more difficult in a community is the early and you lack the basic users who participate in it and is it really a user searches, there is activity in the community.
- The means of getting users to go from experience, are search engines. participate in other communities and word of mouth
- The search engine traffic brings profit, but does not, generally, value to the community, although there is a small percentage of users who end up being active in the community ..
