Tips for building multi-pool communities

1) Working within a niche

When developing a pool network, it’s important that the pools you create have some similarities to each other. This way, your pools have the potential to share users since many of the users in pool A may also be interested in pools b, c or d, etc. By focusing on a specific niche, community owners can specifically target certain corners of the Matchpool user base and the overall onboarding phase new can be made easier by giving each pool a related theme.

Examples of some pools for a technology community: Gaming, gadgets, coding and programming and graphic design.

2) Appointing managers

Alone, managing a large number of pools can be a daunting and tedious task, but with Matchpool’s deputizing admins feature, pool owners can delegate managerial tasks and other various oversight roles to members of their community in order to preside over several communities in an orderly and effective manner. Through delegation, communities can become stronger and deputizing users can encourage more users to contribute, since they may be rewarded with a higher status.

3) Price controls

Nothing beats a free lunch, but it’s never a good idea to miss out on profiting. When building a multi-pool community, it’s crucial to understand your user base, since something like additional fees or high matchmaking prices may drive users away in droves. Generally, when you’re in the onboarding phase of your community you should make joining your pools as easy and simple as possible, which means removing all entrance fees and maintaining a low or non-existent matchmaking fee. Once users have joined your pools in large numbers you can begin to add fees and price increases where you see fit.

Conclusion

Matchpool empowers users to build expansive communities stretching across several pools. With this, user’s can build their own network of communities and groups using several different strategies and techniques. It’s important to build your community with a specific niche to increase the chances that users will be interested in many of your pools, not just one. Appointing pool managers via the deputizing admins feature will allow your to manage a large number of pools that would otherwise be too much for a single user and developing a pricing strategy for onboarding and maintaining a user-base is a very crucial aspect of building your community on Matchpool.
