It’s Your Community Stupid

Your ever wonder how people keep blogging for years? Decades? It isn’t because these people just never run out of things to say. Okay, maybe some of them don’t ever run out of things to say, but for the most part I think it’s the community they build around their blogs that keeps driving them. Community doesn’t equal traffic either. Community can be the loyal following of a few people who comment on most of your posts. Who inspire you and help refill the creativity well when it runs dry. Community includes the people who you read day after day who add into your stream of ideas.

Not to mention those people who won’t mind if your post is a little short, because the rest of this idea is just escaping me right now…

    I LOVE short posts – like Seth Godin! Short and sweet makes for an easy read! (like a treat!)

      LOL, thanks Teri. Sometimes I just need to keep the wheels moving, and posting does that. Sometimes the posts wind up short and a little “meh”, but I’m happy you liked it.

    You are too funny! Unlike Teri above, I have no problem with long posts if the content and/or style is good. However, I realize I’m stalling out on my blogging because I haven’t admitted to myself that short is okay. I have a long-form mind, but that keeps me from short consistency.
    Point well taken, Mr. Tris.
