Build your repuation positively – put the hard yards in and you will reap the rewards.

I don’t do email marketing and not sure if I’m even tempted to. May be missing the boat here, but sometimes even marketers that I subscribe to seem to be a bit overwhelming. Present company excepted, of course.

I expect an article to be a vessel of information and certainly don’t expect to see affiliate links. Not having contributed articles to an article directory yet, I can’t confess to any marketing sins or claim angel-like purity.

Seeing as my blogs aren’t currently used for selling I consider them to be blogs, not splogs, unless of course I plead guilty to marketing myself and Grateful We’re Not Dead. In that case, they’d be perfect examples of blatant splogging.

And when it comes to social networking I never ask anyone directly for Diggs or whatever. However I am prepared to digg or stumble any article I come across that appears worthy of such love.

So I guess I’m like a new child, totally untouched by the sin of spam. {rofl}

Like Jazz,. I am very clear about my intentions and how I want to be known, remembered and seen.

My reputation is very important and the thought of spamming someone is not in my conscience. I like people and I know that creating strong relationships is also going to help me business wise too.

I do not see my customers as bashing boards for advertisers.

I get pretty irritated with marketers that send email after email with the latest greatest money making scheme. These people get me clicking the unsubscribe button. I don’t want to be doing that as I know how it feels. I subscribe to the belief do unto others as you would have them do unto you. it’s all about respecting people Social media is the same. It’s about connecting.
