Hey Friends,
Last weekend one of the biggest conventions took place for the blogging community.
There were over 3000+ people there and one of the most common things that came up was the topic of “building your community”.
(Make sure and check out this link as well. Chris Brogan’s Keynote Speech From BlogWorld Expo)
Everyone agreed how important this is for any business moving forward online.
So how do you create a place for your community to “hang out”?
Here’s the tool I recommend:
Wishlist Member
This works seamlessly with a WordPress blog and makes it very easy to quickly turn your blog into a community or membership site.
Here’s the best part…
This month they are also including two VERY valuable gifts (including a free copy of Gary Vaynerchuk’s new book called “Crush It”).
They are also conducting an interview with Gary which is also included with this offer.
These are very valuable because they’ll give you plenty of ideas for how you can build your community around your product or service.
Here’s the “catch”…
This is only available during the month of October so I’d check it out while you have a chance.
If you have any interest in building a following and business around your passion, then you should take a look at this.
Enjoy!
Kary

I've seen a couple of ideas like this, but I really like what they've done with Wishlist. Thanks for pointing this out Kary! Wheels are spinning.
Great post! I wish I was at that convention! It sounds like it was a blast and a lot of cool people there!
Great Tip Kary!
Keep 'em coming!
Membership site on your blog seems to a great way to build a community!

Love the new widget (linkwithin) I implemented it instantly. Thanks for the tips and leadership.
Chances are, you've heard of “WordPress”.
In fact, you're likely using it for your blog
or website.
Am I right?
If that's the case, then you probably
discovered many unique ways you can use
WordPress – especially when you start adding
various plugins.
If you'd like to discover some more WordPress
“tricks”, take a look at this:

Right now they have a “Early Bird Special”
that will get you 50% off.
But here's the “catch”…
The promotion ends on November 4th, 2009.
So if you want the 50% discount, get it now.
Essentially it's the recordings of an
upcoming, sold-out workshop dedicated to
showcasing popular (and powerful) WordPress
plugins.

If you do anything with WordPress, it's worth
taking a look.
All the best.

Where can I obtain a PHP script that will post articles to hundreds of WordPress blogs automatically.?
Kary,
This is a great idea for all of us who have blogs and are providing value to our readers. Not only does it set you apart as a true leader but also can be a good way to build a strong community which you can carry over to other mediums such as Facebook.
Once again, you’re at the cutting edge…thanks for the info!
