About Bonnie Gean, The Community Building Expert

I’m the gal to call when you’re ready to build a thriving community of clients and prospects.

I’ve been establishing profitable communities, online and offline, since the early 1980’s and my success stories have been published countless times as a result of my ambitions.

While most were just learning about the Internet, I was already profiting from my first web-based business.

My first community, WishNet, was recognized for its contribution to the FIDONET technology and was featured in a 1994 print book, “Free Electronic Networks: The Insider’s Guide and Directory to Echo Nets, The World’s Most Exciting Bulletin Board Systems,” by William J. Shefski. WishNet’s success was also featured in Online Access Magazine, the BBS Edition, in December of 1993.

I was testing the pulse of the Internet before others knew it existed.

By 1993, I was publishing articles, about building communities, way before article writing gained popularity as the infamous BUM marketing method discussed on the Web today. After 15 years, my articles are still posted in Fidonet’s archives.

My next success was The Women Entrepreneurs Online Network (WEON), an Internet community established for the professional woman was prominently featured in an article entitled “A Woman’s Place is in Cyberspace,” in WebBound Magazine in July 1999 and also a 2000 print book, “Free Money and Help for Women Entrepreneurs,” by Matthew Lesko and Mary Ann Martello.

My most recent project, The Marketing-Seek Article Databank, was initially established to generate exposure for my writing. But since its inception, the website has grown to include over 10,105 writers and publishers searching for publishing success and quality content. This website was my way of creating a community of authors, publishers, and readers in which everybody gained from the interaction.

Presently, my community building continues to thrive.
