Dave Trager, 287 days ago,

At Internet Brands, I managed the automotive vertical which consist of 96 automotive forums.

Managed lead administrators of each forum, who each manage a team of moderators
Coached lead admins on best practices, assisted with technical issues, held weekly meetings, aided in conflict resolution, and gave support for local events
Attended weekly product, community, advertising, and revenue meetings to ensure community goals were in alignment with company goals
Established a companywide blog to educate admins on best practices, and to communicate technical issues occurring across our network
Worked with developers to fix bugs, implement new features, enhance security, fix minor site design issues, and stop common attacks from hackers
Created a presence on YouTube for Corvette Forum, and became a YouTube partner with revenue sharing
Established ‘ambassador programs’ across several communities. These programs were created to organize the most enthusiastic and welcoming members to encourage a friendlier and lighter atmosphere. This caused an increase in traffic, up to 25% on some forums.
Resolved heated vendor conflicts, and educated vendors on best practices
Stayed in contact with lead admins, and some influential moderators via Instant Message to provide up to the minute information, and instant support

The one.. the only..

Since beginning my career in Community Management in 2004, I have been passionately connecting people together. All while helping diverse companies understand social trends, and how they best fit into this new paradigm. Each company has unique goals, and there is really no cookie cutter recipe for success in building online communities and social media campaigns. You need experience, you need.. well, ME! :)

My career launched in 2004 because of my sheer enthusiasm for people, and the potential of rapidly spreading information for the betterment of humanity. Not to mention I haven't been able to tear myself away from various online communities since I first started participating in them at the age of 11.

I realized there was a lot of fun to be had in the coming years as an online social infrastructure continues to rise. I am happy to report my enthusiasm has only grown as, today, online community is virtually a part of every persons life. Contact me today to find out how your business can take advantage of this powerful movement, as well as my experience, insight, and vision into where online social trends are going.

Thank you for your interest! I am currently employed full time by Online Guru, Inc, and am not seeking other opportunities at this time. Thanks for stopping by!
