Guide Review - Poor Richard's Building Online Communities

Building Communities

If you have a Web site that is about something you are interested in such as a hobby, passion or something you are creating or selling then you will benefit from an online community. Creating a community on your site can be very beneficial.

This is a great way to bring people with similar interests together. For instance if your passion is art then you can have a place where artists can come and share ideas or get help. If you have a product that you are selling then this can be a place for purchasers of your product to get together and rave about it or get help with it.
