Blogging Is About Sharing, Not Competing
Comments (14) One of things I like about blogging is that it is a sharing world, not a competing world. Sure, we ave the odd competition but it is generally in fun. We are not trying to lure “customers” away from each other, we are trying to attract traffic and then share that traffic with others, either through links in the blogroll or by direct referrals.
I was asked to read a post today that was full of praise for the assistance I had provided in helping get their site together. To me, it is just another part of the sharing – in this case sharing what limited skills or knowledge I had. Whilst ever I have time I am only to happy help, particularly those just starting out. If you have a problem, just ask. If I don’t know the answer I probably know someone who does.
Helping others is not just providing advice or helping with some of the coding. We can all help each other by promoting one another’s sites when the occasion arises. In this case, I have no hesitation in promoting Collin’s (from YourWordGallery) new site FeedFlare.
One of the reasons I am happy to promote this site is because the site itself is designed to help you promote yourself. Thats right, FeedFlare is one of these sites where you can promote your own blog, in this case, promote your RSS feed. Colin became frustrated when trying to promote his own site so what did he do, no he did not complain, he set about creating a site that would satisfy what he wanted. Now you get share in the rewards. Pay him a visit – you may be surprised.
