Getting a new community off the ground without any prior goodwill or brand equity is tough, but it can be done. Richard has given you some good inspiration! It's hard work, but there are even more opportunities as you really are 'your own boss'! Good luck. - Martin David

Good luck.

I disagree with this a little. Most communities associated with a brand, product, or service fail. It's the amateur communities, the one that aren't restricted by goals, metrics and objectives that succeed. Not being associated with a business isn't a handicap, it's a weapon. Go where brands and company communities can't go. The controversial stuff, the marketer of the month, the debates. Start forum threads for each of the top brands and invite fans to popular and discuss them against each other. Find a group you want to join and start writing about them. etc. ” One of the hardest things to do in community management is to try to start, grow and manage a community that doesn’t have a product, service, or company brand to go with it.”
