Community members are not going to follow you around like puppies -- no matter how much you want your fans to love you.

Communities have ebbs and flows. People in those communities do as well. The guy or gal that's gung-ho about your product or service in September may disappear for a while in January. One of your best community resources may only swing by your store or online message board once or twice a week. Or month.

The point is that you do not want to get discouraged. Consider it part of the natural ebb and flow.

A really great post. I think one of the most important things to note here is that having lots of business in the pipeline becomes important...or lots of things happening in your community without focusing on just one person or one topic.
