Guest Post on ProBlogger: “Enhance and Grow Your Online Community Through Appreciation”
Posted by Patrick on May 7th, 2009 in Interacting with Members, Managing Staff, Promoting Your Community
Over at ProBlogger, Darren Rowse was kind enough to allow me to provide a guest post that I titled “Enhance and Grow Your Online Community Through Appreciation.” In the post, I discuss how simple acts of appreciation can have noteworthy impact on the growth of your community. Here’s the closing excerpt:
Appreciation is a powerful thing. It can open doors, start relationships, give people happiness, bring people back and give them confidence. In the interest of cultivating community, please consider how not just appreciating people – but making sure they know you appreciate them – can enhance your community.
Please let me know what you think about the post.
Hi Patrick,
I found your blog through reading ProBlogger this evening, and wanted to thank you for the excellent post. You made great points and it kick fired me into action.
A number of people had helped with a specific problem of my readers and while I valued the time and effort they took, I didn’t mention this publicaly, until I wrote a post thanking them tonight.
I completely agree that feeling that your part of a community is the main reason why you stay and participate
Hey Darren,
Thanks so much for the kind words. I’m glad that you liked it and that’s awesome that it helped you take action! :)
Thanks again,
Patrick
