TypePad Motion Your Website. Your Community.

The Best Way to Build Community on Your Website

You already use social media, like Twitter and Facebook, to engage with your customers and fans – but did you know that you could bring the conversation home to your site? TypePad Motion enables publishers and marketers to create vibrant, branded communities that deepen loyalty and increase page views while giving you total control of your brand.
You can build your own TypePad Motion site with our free, open source tools, or let our professional services team do it for you.

Let Your Community Contribute

Community members can post notes, photos, video, and audio clips with easy-to-use microblogging tools. They can also comment and favorite content posted by you and other community members.

Display All Your Social Activity in One Place

Automatically show your community what you’ve been doing on popular social media sites – including Twitter, YouTube, and MySpace – in a single place on your own website.

Create Your Own Social Network

Community members can form meaningful connections by following each other and viewing site-branded profiles to see a member’s activity within your community. Half a billion people can sign into your site quickly using credentials from popular sites like TypePad, Facebook, Twitter, Google, and Yahoo!.

Build and Control YOUR Brand

By turning your site into a social media hub, you strengthen your brand… not the brands of other social media sites. And unlike most social networks, you maintain full control over who joins your community and what content can be posted by using TypePad’s moderation tools.

Increase Traffic and Revenue

Your traffic will increase virally when members cross-post content directly to Twitter and Facebook. Also, posts and comments on your site will show up on each member’s TypePad profile so people browsing those profiles can click over to your site. Six Apart Media can help drive additional traffic with innovative advertising solutions.

Get Actionable Insights About Your Customers

Monitor member activity to quickly identify influential community members. Easily access member data and import it into any CRM or email system to contact members directly.

Get Your Site Up Fast

It's very easy to get up and running quickly with our free, open source tools. Or, have our professional services team design, build, and deploy a customized site for you.
