Erm... community... forum.. right?
To build an 'alive' community wasn't be easy.
1 . NICHE
The first thing first is the NICHE of your community.
Example, there's so many outside there 'friendster & myspace wannabe' community.
That's mean, you had to compete with well established one.
So.. you must find your own niche. That's none be the same as your community site.
2. TARGET USER.
When we talking about niche, we had a targeted and specified user right? Now, you can promote your community site as unique as it is.. Those people in the same interest, will join and register to your site.
3. TREAT THEM WELL .
Make them as a friend.. Don't treat members as a 'product' or 'subject'. To be ADMIN of the site should be meaning you're A GOOD LEADER & FRIEND.
NOT you're superadmin or GOD!. Don't ever you try to be soooooo exclusive.
4. PROMOTE THE MODERATORS or WEBTEAM.
Those good in PR, Knowledgeable, or has a prety face and handsome hehe... to be a part of your team.
5. I wont tell you more unless you pay me.. hahahaha
I think.. for the start up.. 4 step above is enough..
Bonus : Leadership ability is an advantage
