		<description>Actually from the beginning, I&#039;ve only seen my blog as part of a bigger picture, as a piece of the puzzle in my business. At least that&#039;s what most internet marketers do. 

As bloggers, we should have bigger plans in our minds from the beginning, if not, then we need to start thinking bigger.

		<description>Interesting, i have just added a forum to one of my sport blog few weeks back with the aim of increasing the community activity and interactivity because a forum provides a better opportunity for multiple users to interact, and ultimately to create a new community area. But really building a successful online community is hard work.
I hope it works out greatly because success with a blog does not mean success with a forum. Forum on a site, it bring visitors, adds content and can attract links, but really its hard work!

		<description>So many things, as I say in the article, can be over thought and poorly executed. Just be careful that you don&#039;t put too much thought into it that your addition becomes unrealistic!

It&#039;s really tough I think, but it seems like you&#039;re giving yourself plenty of time to get this thing right!

		<description>Yeah Simon, your community is really active. You get like 25+ comments a post, that&#039;s really great! Maybe you want to think of offering some sort of service?

Yes, the implementing part will probably be covered in part 3!

		<description>Yeah, totally. This link directory is really annoying actually because more spammers than real people submit their link.

I&#039;m going to do some upgrades to it, hopefully check out any ways to prevent these spammers!

		<description>Perfect example right there! Thanks a lot for posting that, it fits into this post so perfectly. :)

There are plenty of great resources around the web for launching Ebooks. This post I wrote a while back:

http://www.blogussion.com/blog/promoting-and-advertising/creating-interest-community-ebook (an article here, covers some decent points)

covers some basic ideas of an Ebook. I too am going to be writing an Ebook to release here. It&#039;s going to be hard work, but I&#039;m determined!</description>
