Pinpoint the audience and start writing for them. Do all the normal things you do to promote a blog, including a little strategic advertising to kick start if you can. Develop the community, put them above all else. Invite key members of the community into alpha's, beta's etc. Develop a sense of ownership before launching Launch and let your community be the first evangelists for your product

Hi there.
I'm Andy Wibbels. I am working on a blog redesign so things might be a little clunky for a few days. You can learn more about my book, Blogwild, at http://GOblogwild.com/. Right now I'm working in San Francisco at Six Apart where I'm the product manager for Blogs.com. You can add my blog to your Google, Yahoo, Bloglines or other homepage. You can also follow me on Twitter, Facebook and Friendfeed.
I sometimes blog about Trent Reznor (parts 1 and 2), cubicle slang, D&D, furries and fanfic, Fosse, freakfilters, indigo children, The Secret movie, sexy deliverymen and dungeon furniture. Here's my most popular post.
