How To Maintain An Active Slack Group For Mutual Benefits

linkedin github slack


Slack Introduction

Principle

  • Value Stream Of Your group Ask yourself

What values each of your message bring to the audience. The world is already very nosiy. Bring values, instead of wasting people's time.

  • Make friends with all active users
  • Don't make people feel forced to do anything. It should come from themselves.
  • It's all about the audience.
  • You should enjoy and learn from all the conversations.
  • Ask people to take actions, but only the mininum actions

Lessons learned

  • Setup right expectation for each activity
  • Only include people into discussion which he/she personally is interested.
  • Get more attention first; Pouring too much information is bad and useless.
  • Don't get discussion distracted. Timing is important.

Routine tasks

Old Friends

  • Every morning takes 10 minutes: Say hi to whoever online in your slack group.
  • Keep starting private 1-1 conversations.

Content

  • Collect and share interested and related stuff

New Friends

  • Whenever a new memeber join, send him/her a warm welcome message

Value Stream

  • Ask people to add linkedin endorsement or recommendations for mentors in your group

Send me a private message, when you're there. (My id is @dennyzhang)

Probably you will see some old friends in that group.

Slack helps to keep me closer to my friends, compared to LinkedIn.

Last time I "wasted" 5 minutes to find one old conversation in LinkedIn.

doc: Invite people to #it-blogger

XX, we have a channel: #blog-review.

It's for IT bloggers. We give review for each other, before publishing them to public.

Do you want to join?

And it's perfectly fine, if you skip this.
