Projects, community and friends

Part of your blogging effort is to build community. Part of New Marketing is the search for meaning – people want to get involved in something that makes a difference. However  . . .  a word of warning. Do not attempt to mobilize your community, friends, database against a huge unsolvable, bottomless-pit of a project.  Consider Seth Godin advice below. . . “If you’ve got a small, fixable problem, people will rush to help, because people like to be on the winning side, take credit and do something that worked. If you’ve got a massive generational problem  . . . we’re going to move on in search of something smaller. Not fair, but true.” Click here to view Seth’s blog

Ensure that your community project is do-able.
