Creating Great Content Builds Community

There is no formula to building community with social media, it’s all about creating content that educates and entertains your audience. And doing it on a predictable basis. It’s really that simple although there are some other things you can also do to increase your audience.

I was reminded of this point listening to an interview with Gary Vaynerchuk this week posted as a series of clips here and in it’s entirety here. I encourage everyone searching for the social media silver bullet to listen to this as Gary really outlines in detail his “secrets.”

It boils down to working hard and creating value for your audience.

For those pressed for time, listen to this clip. Great stuff.

    [...] The last option is to purchase a commercial theme. There are many sources for these but the only two I’ve worked with are Brian Gardner Media and Solostream. Both offer great looking themes with extended features for $50-80. Brian also has several very nice free themes like my current favorite “Revolution Blog.” Once you have your theme in place, you are ready to create your page and blog content. [...]
