“An online community is just like pub, with food and beer as content: you go there and come back for the quality and amount of content and people inside.”
“It doesn’t matter if there’s 100 or 100,000 members. What matters is the number of people who are truly engaged.”
“Make sure your passion, enthusiasm and commitment comes through. That is what we all respond to.”
“Ask your community to provide content and keep asking. Never stop asking.”
Engage with Other Outdoor Communities
“Linking with other bloggers in the same area of interest can be extremely powerful.”
