Building Internet Love
Blogging is something that brings people together, it builds communities. You must be able to build the connections though for your blog to be successful. Whether its through you writing, or making friends. I’ll be honest I’m having a hard time expressing what I’m visualizing in my head right now. For example would you whether have 100 people subscribed to your feed that are dedicated and will promote your name through forums and other social networks, or would you whether have 1000 people that are not loyal and dedicated to promoting your feed and that are not that active in your community.
If you ask me quite honestly I would love to have 100 people over 1000 that was more dedicated have you ever seen certain forums that have less users, but the forums seem to be more active then other forums with more members. The reason for this is because people probably built a tight relationship up with every one, so things are rolling smoothly, and plus when you have 100 friends that are subscribed to your feed that are loyal and participate a lot more the chances of your community growing will be at a lot higher rate.
Which granted people being subscribed to your feed is great, but try to find a way to make connections with every one that reads your feeds whether your communicating with them through e-mail or what. When you do this your building relationships with people and people will think of you a lot more and just like I said earlier the chances of your community and blog taking off will have a higher success rate.
The thing is the reason a lot of blogs and forums are not successful is because people don’t take the time out to do it right, and they get tired of it. It takes a lot of dedication and motivation to build community driven website, but the power of building social networks is like having the web right there, like your in control of your niche, and the bigger your community grows the better, so in other words before you start a blog or anything like that remember try to build connections with people that will be loyal to you and stay really active in the community because these people can help you out a lot.
