How To Be A Community Manager
There is no fixed path to becoming a Community Manager.
I learned to be a Community Builder on the job. I already had experience in various business disciplines. But I also got training and collaborated with others to ensure my community had what it needed to prosper.
One way to learn the ropes is through training courses.
I started taking community management classes in 2020 when they came more prevalent.
Here are some Community Management courses I found online:
The CR Academy by The Community Roundtable. Established 2009. (Rachel Happe)
Community Management Academy by Feverbee. Established 2010. (Richard Millington)
Khoros Training & Certification (for Khoros users)
Online Community Management Intensive (University of Melbourne) (Jennifer Beckett)
Managing Social Media Communities: Intensive (University of Sydney) (Venessa Paech)
Community Management Specialist by Digital Marketer (Suzi Nelson)
