How To Help Members Overcome Their Fear of Participation

Members need both the motivation to initiate and to overcome their fear of starting a discussion. Their motivation to initiate will be to either learn something (e.g. "Does anyone know how to....?"), to impress others (e.g. "does anyone else think business class travel isn't as great as it used to be?" or to bond with others (e.g. "I'm upset Kelly got fired from the Apprentice").

SweetPotato replied to Mary Jane Peterson's discussion New Site with 3.0

"The idea of a community for that niche and therefore potential customers is still a great one. Just don't do it on Ning because they *could* shut it down.

Loads of other options for community building.

Good luck.
