Learning from and studying other successful sites will give the individual an idea of what is needed and relevant to building a strong community. Sometimes a little and trial and error is needed in the exercise to eventually coming up with a site that is both pleasing and attractive, thus creating the interest which will eventually lead to the presence of a strong following or community.
Affiliating one’s site with other relevant sites is also an advantage in pursuing the building of a community. Having as many links as possible but ensuring these links are of a certain standard and informative for the community is also advised.
There must be a common purpose evident in the site to ensure the community’s interest. Using the tools that are familiar to the community will also help keep the community interested in visiting the site. Most visitors will not be impressed with tools they are not familiar with.
Posting material that is relevant is also the reason the community is built, as the visitors visit the site to view the specific information found at the site. Also including some comments or ideas of those in the community may be a welcome introduction as such participation can be deemed respectful. It is also a great way to recognize the members’ contributions and loyalty.
Encouraging the current members to contribute through referrals also helps to expand the community. This is an especially effective tool to use in order to garner more visitors as the members of the community can be believable advertisers.
