SBM Unleashed: Building a Community

There’s no doubt the best endorsements come from happy and loyal customers. So what if there was a way to build a community around your web site? A community that helped keep your content fresh, your ideas flowing and the links ‘a coming. Turns out, there is. Find out the best ways to build up a loyal readership and how to get your visitors more involved from the queen of community herself, Wendy Piersall, Founder of Sparkplugging.com.

What started out as a hobby turned into a thriving business for Wendy. Her blog is geared towards parents who work at home. In September of 2007, she combined 7 blogs into one blog network. One of the things she recently did was to rebrand from being a site that seemed to target “moms” to a much broader range of people.
