Thanks a landlord it! I acquired yet some insight. Life is so colorful, we should be able to live in, such as Korea and honor the planet. Human life is like rivers, slowly flowing, flowing rivers, flowing through the snow, flows through the prairie and ultimately into the sea, return to the embrace of nature, start a new reincarnation. Allow us to feel the meaning of life will come only to those you have those memories http://www.cheap-nikeshox.c...

You have to learn to not blog just for yourself. Or blog just to see the rewards. We have to help others when we blog, whether it be by asking or answering questions, or teaching something new.

I completely agree with Chris's comment on being helpful. Lot of people talk about it but all along their intention is to see what they get out of the interaction. I have seen people who pretend to be long-lost brothers and once they realize they are not getting anything don't even bother to keep in touch.

Any/all relationships would prosper with give and take (did you notice the order of the words - give and take). Always try to help others and your deeds will find a way to come back and help you when needed.

Ask about other people ... i relate this to caring about other. Sometimes i find this hard to do on the web. shoot, it can be tough to do in person on a large scale. having close friends takes work and the same is true online. you have to work at it. maybe more than offline because you don't have the same type of personal connection with people like you can get with face to face interaction.

Be helpful ... this is kind of a next step of sorts. if you are caring and building relationships with folks online going the extra mile to be helpful makes logical sense. the trick is actually being this way all the time. like point one above, it takes a lot of work and persistence.

Why does it have to be so hard man!! :)

Come to think of it nothing in life worth a thing is easy, right. I've got to work at having close friends in real life evrey day.

Love that slogan: "Be there before the sale". That's what true branding is about. Generate interest, build a connection, give value generously... Then sell without selling.

"Be there before the sale. The best way to drive stronger marketing experiences and convert people into customers is to be there long before you need something from people. Sure, it takes longer, but I’ve seen lots of situations where this is what brought in the big sale over another person. If your prospect feels like she knows you, it works really well."

This is well worth banking thought on!

Your first point is key - authenticity.

It is all about being yourself - your best self. That's at the heart of effective personal branding. It means understanding what makes you exceptional and using it to stand out and add value to others.

Thanks for this strong endorsement for authenticity. The new world of work requires that you use your best self to deliver value - and all communications (on- and off-line) require this.

Best.

As always I really appreciate the focus you bring to these subjects - thanks.

Unfortunately there's a large number of contributors to social space who haven't (and won't) read you on the subject :-(

Thanks

You're correct. Be who you are, help people. If you need help later perhaps others will reciprocate. Why not? Just be yourself, be real. Social Media IS the real world, if you are the same person online and off! I hate it when some tweeters say "I have my online friends," and "I have my real life friends." Or whatever phrase they use. The first time I heard it I was flabbergasted. So what was being said was that we weren't real while we were online, or anytime for that matter, if we were "online friends." Now that's just preposterous. If we're consistent, we're the same online and offline. And hopefully that's someone helpful, someone genuinely interested in others, someone who doesn't bust in and become a taker -- someone who is a giver not a taker. Just be a giver and it will be reciprocated. :)

Hi Chris,

I love this post and almost missed it. You are one of the first blogs I subscribed to when i began using Google Reader. As time goes by, I have begun to read many other bloggers and social media titans like Seth, etc... Where does this leave me, less time to read you! I'd like to throw out a radical idea that may be met with "what!" Has anyone ever suggested - blog less! I don't know how you do a post each day, but it is overwhelming to keep up just the reading part. I'm more likely to delete seven posts after missing a week and starting fresh than to read 3-4 posted over the course of seven days.

Regards,

Jeff Wolfsberg

This is so true. To really drive your success further, all these 'rules' need to apply to your daily work in building up anything both online and offline. Good post Chris.

One thing i would add to your very complete list:

Be there after the sale - long after someone is no longer a customer, they are still a customer .treat them like one, and they may become a customer again.

I often say next generation in person, but only in reference to Star Trek.

You could always try a face in front of the logo or alongside? Like posing WITH the logo?

Ha! Love it! For some getting naked in public takes time and practice. So thanks for the info. Now, I'm gonna go strip!

Being naked and being sexy is quite a theme of yours. Business are starting to catch onto this too. If they're smart they'll use the organic approach vs. the mass-media-shove-it-down-your-throat approach.

Re: Be Naked

Sue — Fri, 29 May 2009 09:00:42 -0000

Completely agree with, "Speak like a human. Try removing jargon and business-speak. No one says “next generation” in person." I've often seen community managers make the mistake of using business jargon/speak way too often, it comes across like they are "talking down" to the community, and that just doesn't work.

ahhh nakedness... Such a fantastic idea for this medium. A bit of a hard-sell to the corporates, traditionalists and brand police, who have spent all their time up to now clothing their communications....

The art of being naked is a skill in itself, and not something everyone can do in an engaging and appealing way. Congratulations, I think you've got it down pat. :)

Thanks for putting it simply and succinctly. I always get something useful when I visit you.
