Growing Successful Online Communities
Angela Connor's journey writing the book, "18 Rules of Community Engagement" set to be published by HappyAbout.info in May 2009.
My first stab at a media kit for the book. http://onlinecommunitystrategi...
Just received the foreword to the book from Peter Shankman who sent it from a plane.
Introducing the new book website!! - http://growingsuccessfulonlinecommunities.com
I am about 2/3 done with the book. had to work on bio for web-page and submit ideas for the cover over the weekend.
I wrote quite a bit about the importance of asking questions to foster community growth and how some of my favorite bloggers ask great questions. Chris Brogan is one of them. Also focused on what kinds of question. to ask to generate discussion. A very "practical" chapter, I think. - http://www.chrisbrogan.com/
Added a new chapter last night. Short but sweet. User-participation and the 90:9:1 Principle. It felt like it needed a whole chapter. I quote lots of people in that one.
Just finished Chapter 2 of the book. Title: Market your product but don't be pushy!
Listening to Julio Ojeda-Zapata talk about marketing his new book Twitter means business. Lots of good tips for me. His page is awesome. - http://yourtech.typepad.com/twitinb...
I have decided to mention my "Influencer" training in a chapter of the book. Who knew that would come in handy for this?
Just finished Chapter 1. It includes Martin Reed, Connie Bensen, DebNG, Branding David and Holly Seddon.
Also Scott Hepburn

Just posed this question on twitter: What's the most important role of an online community manager? This chapter is called: "A role like no other."
Response 1: ScottHepburn @communitygirl Host. Make introductions, make announcements, make sure everyone has what they need, handle invites & thank yous.
- Angela
Response 2: martinreed @communitygirl - Surely the most important role for a community manager is to facilitate, encourage and develop relationships?
- Angela
Response 3: DebNg @communitygirl The most important jobs for a community manager is to keep the lines of communication open and foster relationships.
- Angela
Response 4: hollyseddon @communitygirl a light touch and respect for members, but an ability to keep coherent boundaries in place.

Welcome everyone. I've just finished chapter one of the book and have decided to STOP editing myself over and over again. Otherwise, this will be a VERY long journey. I have poured over every sentence at least four times. I wonder if this is normal?
Angela, I've just joined this room. Looking forward to the discussions in here.
- Bryan Person
ALRIGHT, Bryan. Thanks for being the first to join.
- Angela
I'm really bad with self-editing when I blog, so here's hoping you overcome that challenge as you write your book!

Found some new fodder for a section on Community Management here at Freshnetworks. I'm incorporating various definitions of online community management. - http://blog.freshnetworks.com/2008...
