What Does It Takes to Run the Learning2Bonsai Community: Your Participation!

The other day I was reading some research related to managing online communities like Learning2Bonsai. One stat that jumped out at me – and one I’m hoping that we can beat! – shows that in the first year, 90% of all contributed content comes from the site owner (unless you’re extremely lucky).

I was disappointed to learn this to say the least. We already invest considerable time, energy, and resources running Learning2Bonsai, and I was hoping it would take off much faster than that.

The good news is that I think it can.  Just a few short weeks after launching the site, we already have hundreds of members – proof positive of the interest and bonsai expertise that you all share.

The next step is to encourage sharing and knowledge transfer by participating in the community. Remember, we originally developed the community to help novice bonsai enthusiasts learn more about bonsai and to create a place where we could all share our collective experiences.

So let’s get it going! Please send us articles, links to videos, how-to guides, or other resources. Or answer a lingering question, post one of your own, or jump into a discussion. All it takes is one compelling article or thought provoking question, and I’m confident we’ll pick up all the speed we need to make this THE authoritative site for all things bonsai.

And who knows, someone out there may be able to help you with your bonsai question at the same time. Give it a try!
