Building a Community is Harder Than You Think

By Bren @Virtual_Bren

My Girly Parts was first published in 2012. At the time, I wanted to talk about real life situations with no sugar-coating. I believe I accomplished that. Some were offended, others were enlightened by my ability to just “put it out there” and tell it like I see it.

Then my mission evolved into something bigger. I wanted a Community of Women where we could all share our most intimate thoughts and not be judged. That’s when I created the wonder private group on Facebook. At first, some were afraid to open up. Others just couldn’t relate to the material or the group wasn’t exactly what they thought it would be. However, our Community has grown.

There are some in our Community that feel free in expressing their opinions; others are just comfortable in reading but remaining silent, and I’m ok with that. I’ve had many women tell me they like the group because we talk about real situations and are straight up and to the point. That makes me feel good about not only myself, the women in it, but our Community as a whole.

But now I want to take it further!

I think I might have hindered MGP with my back and forth about blogging and my niche but I finally, thank God, have my head on straight and know what I need to do. Finding out the HOW is the hard part. I want to build our Community up as well as the presence on my blog.

I am no longer a firm believer in Facebook pages. They aren’t private and to be honest, Facebook is making it harder and harder for Page owners and Fans to see our posts. Groups are where it’s at in my opinion. If you join a group, those status updates will always appear in your feed.
