I think for small business building online communities, the biggest hurdle is definitely "There's an endless amount of noise fighting for people's attention these days." Unlike established brands that have organic online followers, small business often has to "create" its online identity and hope to get noticed. Small business should focus on very niche vision, ideally around their local community, to gain quicker traction. Nice tips.
