10 Ways To Create A Popular Online Community

10 Ways To Create A Popular Online
Community Daniel J. Lesser

An online community could be a
chat room, e-mail discussion list,
discussion forum or other
technologies that allow groups of
people to communicate at your web
site. When you have a popular
online community it will increase
your traffic and sales. Below are
ten ways to attract people to
participate in your online
community.

1. Tell your visitors that you
post a new, free offer every day,
week or month in your online
community. The free offers should
be attractive to your target
audience.

2. Regularly schedule experts or
famous guests to participate in
your online community. You could
design it to be a virtual class or
a question/answer session.

3. Post testimonials on your web
site from people that have
participated in your online
community. The testimonials could
be about what people have learned
or liked while participating in it.

4. Don't allow blatant ads in your
online communities. If people
decide to visit your online
community and see a ton of ads
they most likely won't be back.

5. Post all the benefits of
participating in your online
community on your web site. You
could write it like you're writing
an ad for a product you're selling.

6. Submit your chat room, e-mail
discussion list or discussion
board to online


community
directories. You can find them by
typing " the community type" with
the word "directory" in any search
engine.

7. Create an e-zine just for
people who participate in your
online community. Allow them to
subscribe for free. When they
receive each issue, it will remind
them to come back and participate
in your community.

8. You (the owner of the online
community) should participate
regularly. Post information that
will benefit the other people.
This will show them you care about
your online community members.

9. Have plenty of people to
monitor your online community.
They could remove postings that
turn away people like profanity,
spam and other off- subject
postings.

10. Your online community should
contain user friendly features,
like a search option for archived
discussions, easy posting or
chatting options, email updates or
digests, etc.
