Chapter 10

Encouraging Community Interaction and Involvement

In This Chapter

• Making your online community fun and interesting
• Figuring out what others are saying about your community
• Gaining popularity through word of mouth

There's nothing more rewarding than watching your community grow and its members interact. When a community clicks, it becomes a congenial and positive place to interact. This camaraderie doesn't always happen on its own, however. Sometimes, topics don't come easily, or participation isn't happening. At other times, a community is entirely too serious and needs some fun to liven things up.

In this chapter, I focus on fun ways to encourage community participation and feedback, while keeping the tone light and positive.
