Commencing bookmark! The topics of this chat cast include, but are not limited to the following topics: - 1. generating content (more Qs and how to use social media to draw in more users) - 2. tags review - 3. old questions review
I've got some dupes that I can make like the page. My friends probably wouldn't appreciate it very much if I posted it since the majority of them aren't anime fans.
I went to look at a few anime pages which looked fairly successful, and they all had at least a couple posts per day. The most successful ones posted dozens of times per day, though that's unrealistic for us.
The thing about generating traffic from social networks is that you should keep trying till you achieve what you want, not unlike a typical shonen protagonist.
@LoganM yeah, but I think that we should post maybe a question every day or so, plus much more of other material. Like that we'll get more followers there, that hopefully will come here too.
@Washu Not all the posts need to have content from this site exclusively. We can post other anime news also. But we need people to gather it and post it to the other chat room, which we haven't been doing very well so far.
we can also do some anime watching and discussion activity on FB/G+ and give out crunchyroll guest passes if we have any CR subscribers willing to donate
@LoganM we need to make a meta post about this. In the end of the last chat cast we should've done it. not everyone was here, so not everyone got how we planned on acting
@LoganM This is another contingency we have to address. It's not just about the social pages, we need people here to be active, especially in asking, as well.
if we link via amazon affiliates referrals or something we can make some revenue to use to promote the site (but keep it only to the social pages, might have to clear it with the super mods first)
@Deidara-senpai I think we need both quality and quantity. We don't want to encourage people to ask just to raise the stats, but we do need people to ask when they really do have a question.
Maybe we can get good questions from other site and answer them here... the type of answer you get from a SE site it's better than any other i have seen
OTOH MAL is a community of people all of whom should have some interest in this site. So we have a good chance to bring in a lot more traffic if we do it right.
Realistically, no one is going to search for "Stack Exchange" on MAL. The only traffic we'd get is if we have especially active MAL users whose user pages direct people to us, or if we post fairly regularly to get on top of the "Most recent activity" queue. It's not something one or even a few people can handle on their own.
@LoganM it will be a sort of targeted advertisement, someone can be interested there @Eric we should avoid it, since it will seems to bypass forum section on MAL I think.
@Eric How? No one is going to search on MAL for "Q&A". You'll get literally 0 traffic from Anime and Manga in the title on MAL. At least with Stack Exchange you might get someone who searches for either of those words, both of which are fairly common.
anyway, I think we should focus on FB and G+ for the moment. Once we have them up and running, we can consider creating a MAL group. Especially because once we have more followers over there we can better promote our new Club over at MAL.
@LoganM True, but I don't feel like people are going to intentionally arrive at the site. Krazer is right, it's probably best to come up with something more distinct.
ok, so to wrap this up, we will create a meta post for the people who aren't usually here, so that they can know of the Social Page Content chat room's purpose
that way, hopefully, we'll get some more interesting content too
