Tim uses a description from Ethan Brooks to describe a community. Ethan says “if you’re not fostering connections between your readers, you don’t have a community, you have an audience.” This is how he describes it visually…
"A community is where members talk to each other just as much — if not, more — than they do to the community’s creator. When you join a community and make friends you keep coming back for more." And, it seems to me, it might make it easier to run too.
Kelly McCausey is great at building communities. Maruxa Murphy and Nicole Batey, are pretty good at it too. So I know it's possible.
So that's my new challenge. This article shares seven essential ingredients to building a community online. I'm going to put them into action and see how it goes. And, I'll let you know how it works out. Or better yet, hop into my FB Group and be a part of the metamorphosis from audience to community in real time.
I'm going to try these strategies simultaneously on FaceBook and on Heartbeat. That way, at some point I can own my community. On FB I'll just be building FB and if they ever decide to take it away they can.
