This has to be one of the most challenging jobs imaginable. Also work on the game industry but more behind the scenes, so much respect for what you do

coshy.bsky.social•129 days ago

Oh, thank you! It can really be quite tough at times, but for me, I'm also super grateful for being so close to players, receiving positive feedback, meeting them at events etc. It's definitely a role where you need some way to let go off steam, but I love doing it.

This is such great book and I still regularly recommend it when people ask where they should start when looking to become a CM (or if they just wanna learn more about the role).

coshy.bsky.social•129 days ago

Omg, that's so kind of you! Thank you 💛 I'm genuinely just hoping that we'll start seeing more and more resources for CMs, so we can all support each other as best as possible.

Honestly, same! It’s a field with not a lot of “essential reading,” so your book was sorely needed!

I feel like I should take your example and write something but I’ve absolutely not got enough experience to be an authority 😅

coshy.bsky.social•129 days ago

Excuse me?! You should definitely do it 💛💪 I wouldn't have felt ready to write ~ the ultimate ~ book about CMing, but I've mentored many newcomers over the years, so it felt more achievable. I'm sure you have one particular area where you have plenty of valuable, book-worthy insights. I'd read it!

Ohhh adding this to my bookshelf ❤️

coshy.bsky.social•129 days ago

Hope you will like it!

Will take a look! Would love to get involved with that kind of job due to my chronic illness.

coshy.bsky.social•129 days ago

Keeping my fingers crossed for you! Connecting with more people in the field can be a great first step, too 😊

Special shout-out to all the lovely community managers who helped me by answering my survey and the true MVPs that provided guest articles.

Fascinating topic - when done well, CM really enhances the experience for players!

coshy.bsky.social•129 days ago

That's always the hope & goal 🤞

This was the first book I bought as a community manager when I joined the game industry.

I've recommended it to friends interested in community management.

I've added you to my little starter pack here, too! https://go.bsky.app/HHJxp5r

coshy.bsky.social•128 days ago

Oh, thank you! That's such an honour and really kind 😊 glad you enjoyed it enough to recommend it!

You all have been crushing it in the recent months, it's been really a job to follow 💪

kazwen.bsky.social•126 days ago

I appreciate that so much Carolin, thank you.

I wanted to let you know that I've added you to the Community/Social/Influencer chat feed too.

I always try to read these for the industry. It's such a grey space for those outside of it, never knowing how to get in. Need more like you promoting this stuff!

coshy.bsky.social•129 days ago

I'd also love to find more! I love reading everyone's books about the industry, the roles, etc 🙏

yaboijaspy.bsky.social•129 days ago

It's weird to me that gaming is larger than every other entertainment industry combined, and it's still like a secret handshake to get in. And it needs more awesome people!

Your book will be next on my to-read list.
