Ally Greer's insight:
The folks over at SocialFresh put together this awesome infographic about community managers just in time to celebrate Community Manager Appreciation Day in a few weeks. Check out the full infographic here, but I'll share a few tidbits that I found most interesting: -Did you know that the majority of community managers are women? Girl Power! -Additionally, 2 out of every 3 community managers works for a brand rather than an agency. Personally, I love working for a brand because I can fully dedicate myself to the company, our team, and our culture. -Lastly, over 60% of community managers spend over 30 hours per week working on their community. Now, that's dedication!

Becoming a community manager for Rebecca Braglio didn't start with being a lawyer, it actually all started with her dog, Dash.
Ally Greer's insight:
Here's a great story about how Rebecca Braglio followed her passion and found a job as a community manager. At first, she didn't even really know what she was getting into, but she's learning along the way and building a community around something she loves: her dog. I always say that passion is one of the most important parts of being a community manager, beacuse if you can't stand behind the brand or product that you're representing, it will be much more difficult to build a community around it. Rebecca's story is an awesome example of how following your passion can lead to things working out in the end.
