The Community Coordinator Role

Community Coordinators build relationships between consumers, local businesses, service providers, schools, nonprofits, charities, events, and community activities, then help turn those relationships into participation. In this lesson, you'll discover why the role exists, why it creates value, and how participation differs from traditional promotion.

Attention is important because it can start a conversation. Participation is what builds the relationship beyond the attention stage.

Don't Start Over. Build From What You Already Have.

If you came from content creation or influencer marketing, you may already have many of the hardest pieces.

Your Audience

Followers and subscribers are not simply numbers. They are people who already chose to stay connected with you and hear what you have to say.

Your Trust & Relationships

Years of communication may have created trust, business contacts, community relationships, and connections that can become the starting point for local participation.

Your Content Skills

You already know how to communicate ideas, tell stories, create attention, explain opportunities, and keep an audience engaged. Those skills have real value beyond brand deals.

Your Local Knowledge

You may already know which businesses people enjoy, which events matter, which organizations need support, and what your community is interested in.

Your Existing Content

Your experience creating posts, videos, reviews, interviews, and community stories can help participating businesses and organizations become more visible and understandable.

Build A Portfolio Of Relationships

A Community Coordinator is not simply making one-time business referrals. Coordinators can build an ongoing portfolio of relationships with local businesses and service providers, while also connecting consumers, schools, nonprofits, charities, events, and community activities around those businesses.

Every useful relationship adds another participation point to the local Webigo community. As those relationships interact, the network becomes more valuable to everyone involved.
