Starting an online community? Here’s a great list of things to consider.

Over at CommonCraft they’ve collected an excellent list of considerations for starting an online community. For example:

• Have a strong understanding of the audience
• Define the user – where are they now? What do they need?
• Make sure to have a host or “social director”
• Create an outreach strategy – how will your audience know about the community?
• Ensure that the initial experience is compelling – give people something at the very beginning (people, content, event, etc.)

…and many many more.
