Ways to Use Imzy
So, I've been mulling over how to use Imzy, and I may have stumbled on something... Sure, they have general categories, and we have ours here, however, because this is a hybrid of Slack/Facebook/Reddit....
Couldn't we, individually, make the Imzy equivalent of "Facebook pages", with 100% of the reach to people who follow it? Like, I could make a "K. C. Alexander Fan Club" or a "Kevin Hearne Likes Beer and So Do You" page and it's all official fan page stuff. You could post things, just like you would on twitter, and I'd see it because I JOIN YOUR COMMUNITY...
So, in a way... we are creating our own twitter-like "account" (community) that people can choose to "follow" (join), thereby ensuring that when you post your awesome news, I see it!
It may have some limitations, but this is what my brain is rolling with. Thoughts?




To start testing, I made a community page of my own as a kind of fan page: http://www.imzy.com/kcalexander
Let's see what kind of integrations we get here. Or how to cross-promote each other in easy to grok ways.
Updates from Imzy Staff:
I got ahead of myself and borked my communities already. I want one for my book series (which is just 1 book so far, but I wanted to nab the url), one for my Pro Face, and one private personal spot where I can open up more than I do on social networks/my website & make some damn friends. Naturally, this means I postponed setting up my Professional Writer Person comm - you know, the truly important one - & now have to wait a month. That may be a good thing; by that time, we'll all have learned the site better & seen new options implemented.
Oh, ADDITIONALLY: those of us part of this community can become "neighbors" of the Fineapples, increasing range. :) Because from what I gather (and I may be wrong?), if I made an official me community, and Kevin "neighbor"d me, when I post on mine, I THINK it posts also to Fineapples? We will have to test that...
p.s. EDIT BUTTON OMFG
OK yeah I gotta figure this stuff out and make a neighbor or something. Also make some other people community leaders here.
We got this! ;)
