Do your staff promote?

[dexterlablab1]

Even if they are volunteers, if they actually want to help the forum, they should be obligated to promote

Well...that's a bit of a grey area. If they're volunteers then it's hard to "make" them do much of anything because there's nothing to penalize them with if they DON'T do it.

No, my staff don't promote. I don't ask them to, and I don't expect them to. If they promote, then they'll get a cookie from me and some lovin...but that's about it
If I wanted staff to promote I would hire promoters haha

Promoters have got to be the worst position to hire, lol. I have never seen anybody get one that actually got the job done for less than 20$ xD

The thing is that i think it would be hard to keep track of promoters if was to hire them.
Like if i hire 2 promoters & yes i would know that they are working if my stats started improving.
But how would i know if it is promoter A thats doing all the work, or promoter B?
or even if it was something i done?

I encourage my staff to promote, I don't expect it with them. As I am a forum owner, i feel like it is my responsibility to make sure i'm getting the sites name out there

I encourage staff to do so but I don't think they do. But I don't really care if they do or not.

My staff do yes they don't promote as much as what I do but they do enough to get my forum noticed which I feel is more than enough. Much of what they do to help promote the forum is via word of mouth, using the social networking buttons that are on the forum and also using their social networking accounts to let friends know on there.

I must say I do see your staff around a lot talking about your site, especially Naiwen. I'm sure thats a great thing to have your staff team actually promoting because it is something I rarely see of peoples staff teams!

In my experience when I last worked at NGG, we just went our own ways in terms of advertising; signatures, SOTM, word of mouth etc
The forum owner Choloboy would do PostLoop and buy advertising space etc

Well the staff's job is to monitor and help the site. However, it should be normal for a staff to help promote. But I haven't noticed it being an expectation ever. I think staff should promote though, just to help out the forum/site they are working at!

 

[pandaa]

I encourage them to, but it's ultimately my job as admin. If you have staff that do though, they are keepers for SURE!

 

[Ghost]

Staff that promote are awesome. I'd love people to just promote for me, but I don't know what incentive I'd provide them...
Because to convince someone to spend forum cash on sites, and put up ads without any forum cash funding from my part might be hard.

 

[Southern Comfort]

Way back I use to do nearly all of the advertising. The staff were strictly at the forum only for work and play and never took it outside to promote it. If I were to make a forum again I would need someone to help me out, I can't do it all by myself. :'(

I personally think it's rare for moderators to promote, at least that's what I've found in my experience. At the end of the day, that isn't really their job though.
