hi ari,

was that comment for me?

great point about having a facny site without the interaction, it's meaningless!

Community is about interaction, pure and simple. Writer and reader, reader and reader, writer to reader to reader, and any other variant you can think.

I'm replying to you, not to Jacob. What does that say?

I'll add one other item. Jacob wrote, "Word of mouth is one of the most effective ways to really build and grow your community." I'll argue that word of mouth marketing is THE ONLY WAY to build and grow.

You can have the fanciest site out there, be a best-selling author, yada yada, but if people don't visit the site or read the book, and tell other people, or the press catch on and write a review, nobody will be interacting with you.

hi aaron,

that is an excellent point that i should have addressed, thank you for bringing that up. communities can definitely exist amongst the readers themselves and oftentimes these are the most powerful types of communities.

thanks for reading and for commenting!
