Online communities are just the same; you need to work on building the relationships with those you call 'golden members'.

The point is that there is an overwhelming number of groups and individuals out there, and a vast majority of them are simply looking for quick responses and visits on their blog page. This doesn't build the long-term commitment that keeps people interested both in you and your blog. I don't yet have an established community, but am slowly building a group through different channels. It literally is one person at a time, and I firmly believe that there is no way around this process. Regards, Mark This directly hits the mark.

write down the steps you need to take to get from where you are now to where you want to be – of course you need to clarify what that goal is as well.

I come across so many graveyard forums on the internet, and it's clear to see where the owner is going wrong. I myself in the past have tried community building, and to be honest the first few times i tried i failed. But i will take these tips into consideration for next time and fingers crossed, ill have better luck! thank you :) I thought that this was a great post, it can be hard establishing a community online.

Becuase if you do not know the members personally then it becomes quite difficult to control when someone starts harming the main objective. We had one online community (human rights) of 300 people based around the world. But some people joined with fake names and completely destroyed the forum as our moderators were afraid of taking action against those guys.

Have you thought about taking a different angle? Maybe a community about office survival? Just an idea - but as long as your focus is on cartridges, you're going to struggle!
