An online communities are the heart and the soul of the Internet. In future, every business and creator will look to build their own, focused community.

Community building is important because it creates relationship and boosts engagement. When people feel a part of something, they stay longer.

For businesses, this could mean a lot of things. A lot of businesses rely on their own communities to get direct feedback from users, support their customers, shape the product roadmap, and improve their net promoter score.

For creators, an engaged community is a constant source of inspiration and ideas for better content. It's a two-way street.

Communities also help drive organic growth through SEO and referrals. User generated content keeps your site fresh and improves loyalty.

In short, community building creates trust, loyalty and ensures long-term success. It's an investment that pays off big.

I am actively building a developer community. Community building is the best way to get product feedback. Our developer tool relies on feedback from developers.

The feedback we received from our early users is quite encouraging and it has helped us rethink our entire product roadmap.
