"""Deb does a great job of creating a personable but helpful book about how to build and maintain a thriving community. Simple, actionable steps at the end of each chapter help to keep the reader focused on the next steps. Great book."" - Azul Terronez, Author ""I wasn't surprised to find Deb's book to be not only down to earth and practical but quite well written and, at times, inspiring. Her passion for community building and fostering genuine human connection comes through quite powerfully. Get the book, read it slowly, and APPLY what you're reading to whatever kind of community you feel inspired to build; thanks, Deb!"" - Don Salmon. ""I found this book to be an incredibly valuable resource for planning, staging, and maintaining a real online community - one that shares like-minded interests and is invested in participating in the ongoing health of the group. Thoughtfully put together with exercises, action-items, and questions to consider, Deb Schell's book is an incredibly thorough, realistic, and actionable reference for building an online presence from scratch. Very highly recommended!"" - Michael Travisano"
