Nurturing a User Community

Dec 04, 2006

The biggest strength of online social networking groups is the community interaction. But it just doesn’t happen like that. You have to encourage people, you have to make them feel wanted and respected, and you have to provide them answers the seek. And how do you make people feel respected? By encouraging them to give answers. Communities die down soon if there are no lively discussions happening there and lively discussions are always triggered by contentious debates. After all given a chance we all want to give our “to cents”.

Creating Passionate Users has published a post on How To Build A User Community. Kathy in the post says you should always facilitate fluent flow of questions and answers and in fact you should help people answer other people.

Hi “somebody”. Thanks for point that out. I do lots of such things: right for write, week for weak, our for or, and so on. I’m not going to correct this just so that it keeps acting as a reminder.
