How To Help Members Overcome Their Fear of Participation

Posted by Crystal on April 30, 2014 at 10:54am in Engaging Your Community

Members need both the motivation to initiate and to overcome their fear of starting a discussion. Their motivation to initiate will be to either learn something (e.g. "Does anyone know how to....?"), to impress others (e.g. "does anyone else think business class travel isn't as great as it used to be?" or to bond with others (e.g. "I'm upset Kelly got fired from the Apprentice").

"Hi Ron, Can you give me a summary of where Ning is at? Re 2.0 3.0? I have several networks all created in pre 2.0 so I'm guessing they were migrated? But no clear overview of what happened next. Much appreciate your take.
