Build up what you have or focus on bigger things?

[Shawn Gossman]

Let's say you have a small community established on your forum. It gets you daily posts by a small group of people who keep coming back.

What's your goals for this?

(1) Work on building up what you have going? Get the community more established and loyal.

(2) Post here and there but focus more efforts on growing the community through marketing means while letting the community build itself in the background?

What are you doing and why?

If I have ten members that always post everyday on my forum, I would like expend my energy to ensure that they stay. I would focus on building with them. I would also keep marketing to get new members, but new members can only stay when they come in to find a strong community already on the forum.
