How To Build An Online Community

In an online world where competition seems to constantly increase, standing out is as important as ever. Luckily, it’s not as hard as you’d think if you know the right things to do.

On the site so far, we’ve covered the core elements of building an authority site:

• First, we showed you how to start a blog and get something tangible off the ground and live.
• Then we showed you how to build a brand that elevates your site above the competition.
• After that, we walked you through the process of increasing website traffic.

Now, I’m going to show show you how to take your site even one level further by building an online community that will not just greatly help improve the helpfulness of your website, but also increase engagement and retention like never before.

These lessons are ones that I’ve learned over the course of building multiple brands online that I’ve eventually turned into online communities – including Bloggingtips.com, the community you’re engaging with right now.

By the end of this guide, you should have a good understanding of what online communities are, why they’re so impactful for your brand, and how to build one of your own.
