Forum Moderators: phranque
If I don't do this, I probably will not be able to compete with the Web 2.0 websites in my niche. I ideally want a system where users decide to submit content... it goes through a round of editing on my side....and I then put it up, giving credit to the original author.
So my question to you is, how to I begin this process?
If I understand correctly, most of the people who create content for web 2.0 websites, only do it for acknowledgement and gratitude from other people in the community. So a system of "Comments" & "Rating" on each article is necessary.
However, I do not want to just set up all the systems and have no activity. So, anybody has any idea about how I should initiate the whole process of making the website Web2.0?
Thank you for reading..
One bit of advice. Be prepared for the task of moderating a live community. It can be daunting a first if you have heavy traffic. Read up on community moderation as preparation.
I run a high traffic community site. I would guess that 50% of my time goes to managing and moderating the users and user generated content. And I have a team of volunteer mods helping me out. :-)
