Promotion is often seen as the owner’s responsibility as it’s your vision, your project, your mission to grow the community. But what about your staff? Do they ever chip in to help get the word out?
Personally, I think it’s great when staff members take the initiative to promote the site, whether it’s by sharing links, or even sharing stuff on social media, or inviting friends to join. That said, I also believe that if they’re actively and consistently contributing to promotion, there should be some form of compensation involved - whether that’s financial, perks on the site, or other rewards. Of course, there’s always the exception for those who do it purely out of passion or a desire to give back to the community.
How do you handle this on your forum? Do you expect staff to help promote as part of their role, or is it entirely optional? If they do help, do you compensate them, or do you leave it as a goodwill gesture? Let’s hear your thoughts!
