I don’t know about you but I’ve gotten more than a dozen invitations to Google+ communities in the last couple of days. In case you’re not aware of what that means, Google+ launched a new feature, Google+ Communities on Dec 6. Add to that the very important fact that anyone can create a Google+ Community.

If it’s not yours, or if it is, please– for the love of community –pitch in and SAY something! We were talking about how to build community on a Facebook page and whether or not that’s really even possible. Now, I’m one of those old school community people. Look at any big brand Facebook page.

Waay back in the 1990s I co-founded a startup on-line community for the restaurant industry. Blogs were in their infancy and we used bulletin boards and comment streams on posts to communicate with our user-base and we loved every second of it. Nobody saw how community could support a business model.

Sometimes because they think they’ll put up a page and their fan base will flock to the site, dynamically post content on their own and discuss it with their peers, all without much effort from the community manager (if there is one). This just doesn’t happen unless you’ve got a vibrant community and are expanding it to Facebook.

You could lose your community. Even if you have listening tools set up that alert you to comments, that discussion takes place on the hosts’ web site, while your own post may sit with fewer comments. Hmm, well if your community is that easy to distract maybe you need to work on that a little more. Share the love.

For me everything relates to community in some way. John suggests that “In a perfect world, every business would spend a year or so doing nothing but community building before they ever open the doors.” How much would that community trust you as a business and value you as a part of the community?

The popularity of Instagram is clear, and if you are inclined to snap photos and share them with your friends and customers on social networks you can make your business more social and build a powerful sharing community on Instagram quickly. Building community while running a contest can be challenging, and sometimes fool-hardy.
