How to turn visitors into members?

[Skyon Archer]

That's a good point. Make the new member feel welcomed. It's vital that, as a site owner, you get to "know" your members. Showing that you have at least taken the time to invest energy into learning who they are/what they do/etc. will pay off in the long run.

You are the ring leader, the head honcho, the number one and your active participation and being able to identify with your members will aid in your site becoming a success.
