Tips for Starting a Community
#1

I know that there are a lot of you out there that wishes to develop a place of your own. The only issue you're dealing with is beginning your first step. How do you begin? Where to start? Here's a few tips from personal experiences that you should take into consideration if you have any future plans of starting your own gaming community! Enjoy!

Forum:
An essential to building a community. A forum must be organized, professional, and most importantly have a great appearance to attract players. On very rare scenarios, free forums can do the trick. However, they don't seem appealing to many players causing a sudden lack of interest. Assure that your forum has the essentials mentioned above.

Professionalism:

Another huge essential for communities. When selecting staff, make sure that they're capable of being professional. Trolling, fooling around, or any other inappropriate actions will cause a player database to decrease over time. Implement documentation just for staff only. Include rules, policies, and general guidelines that they must follow on a daily basis. If any of your staff is found guilty of breaking said policies, serious consequences should follow.

Organization:
Conducting organization will be beneficial to staff and players. Players will be able to search your community with ease, finding what exactly they require. If you plan on having multiple gaming servers, make sure moderators/staff is neatly placed with a proper ranking structure. This should follow for your entire staff team as well. Each server should have it's own section on your forum with documentation posted by assigned staff.

Just a few tips. I know it's not much but I wanted to provide the assistance! Do you have any tips for those interested individuals that has plans for a future gaming community? Reply below and help them out!
