How do you make a community feel like home to your audience?

[Heatman]

It's only when your community feels like it's a home that you're going to have loyal members. This is because today in the forum field, loyalty is fleeting and if don't do everything possible to keep yours, it's going fly away before you know it.

How do you keep your members being loyal to your brand?

 

[Shawn Gossman]

You're definitely right.

You have to make to turn your forum into a tribe or a family if you want to create loyalty. You have to befriend and get to know your members. You have to care about your members and your members care about you.

I think many forum owners get stuck on just wanting to be the biggest forum and they let opportunities of building a loyal audience with what they got get away from them.

It's probably what causes most forums to fail.
