6. Submit your chat room, e-mail discussion list or discussion board to online community directories. You can find them by typing " community type" with word "directory" in any search engine.

7. Create an e-zine just for people who participate in your online community. Allow them to subscribe for free. When they receive each issue, it will remind them to come back and participate in your community.

8. You (the owner of online community) should participate regularly. Post information that will benefit other people. This will show them you care about your online community members.

9. Have plenty of people to monitor your online community. They could remove postings that turn away people like profanity, spam and other off- subject postings.

10. Your online community should contain user friendly features, like a search option for archived discussions, easy posting or chatting options, email updates or digests, etc.

7. RECORDINGS You could record peoples testimonials over phone with a mini tape recorder. Then, take recording and record it to an answering machine or voice mail system. Under each one, include a phone number they can call to hear actual testimonial.

8. E-MAIL MESSAGES When you get e-mail testimonials, publish entire e-mail message instead of just contents. It will be more believable because it will include date, time, subject, who it's from and who it's to.

9. CONTACT INFORMATION When you get testimonials from people, ask them if you could include their contact information under testimonial. This will allow potential customers to ask your current customers questions about your product or service before they buy. Usually, they will trust them more than you.

10. ONLINE VIDEO If some of people who give you testimonials have a camcorder, ask them to record their testimonial on video and send it to you. Then you could convert video to an online video file and upload it to your site. You can find more information about converting audio recording's by typing "real video" at a search engine.
