Bootstrapping Blog Communities

A while back, I replied to a Digital Point thread about marketing a new blog. My reply basically outlined the idea of ‘blogs are conversations’ and the basics of using this idea to get a community around your blog.

Now Amy Gahran talks about another complementary and overlapping marketing strategy, which she calls Strategic Commenting. The idea here is that you engage in conversations at blogs related to yours. Again, the general theme of ‘blogs are conversations’ comes up again, but now with a new slant on how to converse.

Any more ways to converse? I would love to hear about them in the comments below!
