Internet marketing-web2.0 part1

Give and ye shall receive

No ~ No ~ No ~ Not the latest 'cash gifting' schemes that are flying around lately, supposed to make easy money, as long as you send some stranger a gift of $2.500, then receive cash gifts of equal ammounts is total hogwash and holds no water in honest marketing.

Give others the benefit of your experience in terms of advice, no matter how much time and energy, monetary or whatever, it took you to gain that knowledge. Giving advice or free access to content that is gathering dust on your shelf or your hard drive, nurtures trust and respect.

Friendship is based on giving and receiving, even if your compatriot lives on the other side of the planet. Strangers may be deemed as someone you have not met personally.

That concept has gone out of the window since the conception of the internet.

Many friendships may be developed with someone you do not psychically know through the digital power of social networks, chat rooms and forums.

Editors note:- (Fine examples of giving without expecting receipt).

In my capacity of audio and visual editing, I have helped others to improve their video productions, asking nothing in return. Now I have many artist friends introducing my work to others.

In my efforts to introduce multilingual presentations to video production, I have friends ranging from Argentina to Europe, offering to help with translations.

They ask nothing in return, but they shall be rewarded, through friendship.

E-books that have cost me a small fortune to collect are now past their sell by date, I have benefited from them, surely, through the knowledge gained, but no longer of use to me and if anyone asks for a specific tome on any subject that I may have in my library to help explain their topic, I will send it.

Regardless of any copyright nonsense, I have purchased the book, so I have the right to make a gift of it, why shouldn't I?

U2 and Green day, along with their producers and crew, gave up their TIME and donated their concerts revenues to aid the people in the southern states.

Apart from the great PR, resulting from this, they were rewarded with personal gratification!
