Does building a community first help a new online business thrive better?

Some people say that an online business that has a vibrant community would do better than one that doesn't have. For a proposed online business, should I focus on building a community first before I launch out the business? Would that strategy make the online business easily find root when launched?

Absolutely bro. That's a smart move! Building an online community is like planting seeds before the harvest. You bring people together, you give them value, they know you, they trust you. When it's time to sell, they don't panic. They already know you're legit. Engagement is king, awareness is the foundation. Don't rush to sell before building trust. Play with content, stories, polls, and real vibes. People buy from those they feel connected to. Keep it up!
