If you could only choose to keep 3 apps on your phone, what would they be?

At its core, gaming is about competition — whether that’s against yourself or other people. It’s basically all about leveling up, trying to get a better score, finding the best loot, collecting the most badges, and surviving the longest.

Great strategy to apply to lessen the amount of abandoned communities out there.

Most community platforms out there suggest that the main problem for brands is setting up community tools. But really, the struggle is keeping members engaged and coming back.

With Beam.gg, we're committed to enhancing engagement in online communities through gamification, and we absolutely don't charge customers for unengaged users in your community.

Yes, I 100% agree. Our features prioritize safety and interactivity. Of course, apart from gamification, we also have moderation tools like word filter, audit logs, member repots, etc. To facilitate better discussions, we have post categories and subforums. Our Quests are also geared towards facilitating conversation and rewarding participation. We have quests like "Get 10 upvotes on your post" or "Comment on 10 posts" or "Create 3 polls" and so on... When members level up, they get access to special profile upgrades and other perks.

We're also currently working on community monetization to allow members to support their community, and owners to generate revenue.

Yeah. As community owners ourselves, we know that engagement really is the number one problem when building a community or growing an existing one. This is why we really focused and put all our efforts on gamification. At its core, gaming is about competition — whether that’s against yourself or other people. It’s basically all about leveling up, trying to get a better score, finding the best loot, collecting the most badges, surviving the longest, and others more. Gamers take pride in being the best, and they also find a sense of belonging in games.

You'll be able to build a similar community and fully customize it to your liking. You'll have access to management and moderation tools, as well as built-in gamification features like quests, badges, user levels and ranks, animated avatar frames and cover photos, custom reactions, leaderboards, and more!

Hey there! It's actually a bit different from discord, in a way that discord only allows you to create social groups. With our platform, you can create your own white-label community site with a custom domain. Here's a sample community you can check out: https://community.beam.gg/

Yes. It's a community management software where you can build your own white-label community site. But what makes Beam.gg unique from other community platforms is how it gamifies the online community experience to engage and excite members with playful user interactions. We introduce gaming elements like ranks, quests, badges, and leaderboards to incentivize members, increase engagement, and grow a more active community as a whole.

This is why we at Beam.gg thought of introducing game theory into the picture. In online communities, gamification is used to engage and excite members with playful user experiences that complement rewards systems. You can learn more about how gamification enhances your community’s experience by reading my article here: https://community.beam.gg/post/How-Gamification-Enhances-You...

I'd like to know: what are your biggest challenges when it comes to community management?

As a community manager myself, I personally know that engagement really is a big problem that brands and businesses face when building a new community or growing an existing one. People are often faced with the challenge of making the online experience more compelling or more engaging. No doubt, you've read hundreds of business articles claiming that content is king. And while that may be true, content can also easily be overlooked if you don't have the right engagement strategy.

With all the uncertainty and challenges brought by the pandemic, I truly believe that community is more important now than ever. We rely on those around us for solidarity, support, information, and empathy. And now thanks to technology, we can maintain and grow the bonds of community among us even while we’re physically apart.
