That value looks different for every relationship, but it could come in the form of advice, insight, or entertainment.

What it’s not, are you showing up online only when you have something to sell?

Ever had a friendship or boyfriend who zapped the life out of you?

Where no matter what – when they left, you felt drained and exhausted.

I have, and there’s nothing fun about it.

No one signs up to be zapped by an energy vampire on or offline.

So to attract your online community, show up for them with consistency.

That could be as simple as sharing a small nugget of insight or information with them daily.

Show up and start online conversations even when you don’t have original content to share.

Very few new bloggers, solopreneurs or new online entrepreneurs do.

You could reshare something relevant to them that will leave them with a smile on their face or a provoking thought to ponder.

Attract Your Online Community With Content

Give them consistent insight into your professional and personal life but interject behind-the-scenes of your business life.

And when you do decide to launch a new online product, digital course, services or even a physical product, they won’t be annoyed.
