Frequently Asked Questions
How do we encourage users to create content without being pushy?
Our community activation approach focuses on creating clear opportunities, providing specific prompts, recognizing contributors, and demonstrating how you use their content - making participation feel valuable rather than transactional.
What legal considerations do we need to address with user-generated content?
Our permission framework helps you create clear terms for content submission, explicit permission processes for content use, proper attribution practices, and documentation systems that protect both your brand and your community members.
How do we maintain quality without discouraging participation?
Our feedback approach emphasizes positive reinforcement of desired content, clear but supportive guidance when content doesn't meet standards, and transparent explanation of selection criteria that helps contributors improve rather than feel rejected.
How much should we edit or modify user-generated content?
Our content integrity guidelines recommend minimal technical improvements (lighting, cropping, etc.) while preserving the authentic voice and perspective, with clear communication to contributors about your approach to modifications.
