A lot of people have asked me lately how I manage (管理)so many WeChat groups. I'll share a few of the secrets for it.
Presently, I have more than 6, 200 people who subscribed (订阅) to my public account and at least 10, 000 members in various (个别的) groups. Some of the groups are my personal groups. Others are English learning groups where I've been invited to share my free English lessons.
First, managing groups is really about managing people. The people who are connected with me are mostly targeted (针对性的)for my lessons. They either joined one of my groups or are in my contact list (联系人列表). People have chosen to connect with me because they want to improve their English skills.
Second, I'm very slow at adding someone to a group. I often let them connect to my public account first. If they promote some kinds of business, products or service, I won't accept those people in my groups. They may bring some trouble to others. If so, I will delete them from my Friends' Circle quickly and make them disappear.
Third, if you don't want someone to advertise in your group, you need to set rules. I think putting ads in groups is the least effective (有效的) way of promoting (促销)goods. You have two choices when someone breaks your rules. You can warn them. If they apologize, then, I think you should give them a second chance. If they don't, kick them out of the group. It isn't worth time to argue with them.
