Week Two on Imzy!

Welcome to week 2 of Imzy :)

First, thank you for being one of our first communities, it means the world to us! We’ve received a lot of great feedback from this first set of communities and are hoping to get all of it addressed by the end of this week (so keep it coming). One thing we think is really important is to give you all a way for community members to listen to your podcasts while staying on Imzy (if you do a podcast), so we are working on updating the podcast post type to allow for embed code. We already create automatic embeds when you put in a link from Soundcloud, Youtube, and many other places, and now you can insert an embed from Stitcher or anywhere else on the internet.

This week we will have another batch of community leaders coming into the system, but they will be in a different genre (gaming). Regardless of genre, you should see a bit more activity in your communities, so please keep them active! We will post in here in /leaders when they get into the system, but it should be on Wednesday.

We think it’s probably about the right time for you to start promoting the fact that you are doing your communities and that people should sign up for invitations. The hope is that we can get some excitement going around your communities and get a healthy invitation list for them so you can let people in at your pace, hopefully starting at the end of this week. You know your audience better than we do, so create your own language, but we wanted to make some suggestions:

  • Talk about it on your podcast! More than once!
  • Tweet about it! Tweet about it a lot! (BTW, our twitter is @imzyhq, please follow us and tweet about us)
  • Facebook it! (BTW, our FB is imzyhq, please follow us!)
  • If you can get others to tweet and talk about it, it would be great!
  • If WE can help you promote your communities in any way, let’s discuss it! We are open to just about anything.

Lastly, when you talk about it, if you find people who want to run communities, we still need more communities! You can introduce them to us at team@imzy.com
