April 8, 2019 By mark david mcCreary Leave a Comment

When people with similar interests utilize the internet to discuss topics, we have an online community and companies are investing a lot in these. Unlike large public communities like Facebook, these private online communities are more about the investment of time and can differ greatly in how it works and costs. As the community is banded together by some common thread, companies can really hone in on making a better experience for everyone. Not all of these communities will look and behave the same, which is fine as they can be tailored best to the whole audience. If you build an effective online community, you will find the people will come and be in it for the long haul.
