Although of course as the money rolls in you may well want to spend money to make money :). In the meantime, there are many excellent blogs where people share great information and don't charge you for it. Try wwww.ducttapemarketing.com www.bloombergmarketing.blogs.com www.flyteblog.com : you'll also find a bunch of excellent blogs at marketing.alltop.com Hope that helps! Tony

I more or less jumped into managing an online community 10 months ago and could use a guide. Totally agree on needing a thick skin, sense of humor, et al. I hope there is a section titled "No, you really don't need to be everyone's best friend." Thanks for the review, I had no idea this book existed.

I'm thinking, for example, of how useful the book will be for the next person, new to being admin of a forum, who wonders what to do when a member uses the forum to push some barrow which is off topic. The templates too are a great gift to any busy admin who know she or he needs something like the guidelines document but does not know where to start and needs something which can be adapted without infringing anyone's copyright.

I am really happy that you liked it and I thank you for the kind words. They mean a lot to me. I appreciate the criticisms, as well, and will take them to heart in consideration of future improvements. The book was copy edited pretty aggressively, so I take responsibility for any grammatical miscues. Hopefully, they are fairly far in between! Thanks again for your time. I really appreciate it.
