Creating your online community, it's pivotal to your business continuity. If you want to succeed in today's world, in whatever you do, then you must've a community which shares your interests and engages regularly.

Depth over width.

And I'm not talking about 1 million followers on Instagram or Twitter, even why that's fancy and cool, I'm talking about an amount of people who really give a crap about you or your business. Depth is much more important than width. Quality over quantity. Remember?

So, let's get to our point, how do you create your loyal community?
You create it through ENGAGEMENT. Let me ask you one simple question: How do you network with people in real life and how you make friends?

You go there, talk, discuss about your personal or similar interests, you smile when you encounter common things etc.
The same methodology has to be applied when you're online.

How to engage?

If someone comments on your post, you've to reply (unless you get 1000 comments per post, at that point you need set a limit). Reply and let them know you CARE. You appreciate their time and effort. Show them you're a human being too.

You know what's better? Don't just wait for them to comment. Find random people who regularly like your posts and message them: Hey! I'm here for you, how can I help you.
You'll impact them.

It seems pretty easy to do, but based on what I see many businesses and influencers are doing it wrong. If you don't care about your audience, they won't care about you neither.

Experiment this!

You got to put in the work. Spend one hour a day just to engage with your audience. After one month, you'll have spent 30 hours. You'll see the difference.
