Am I Being Selfish?
This week I joined in another of the Writing Projects that Darren Rowse is running. I have seen an increase in hits every time I write a post for one of the projects.
Every Tuesday night Liz Strauss has an Open Comment Night, and I join in each and every week. I have seen an increase in regular visits by people I have met in these conversations.
I have been a member of a few Forums for quite a while and I do get a lot of visitors looking for information about Working at Home.
I link to other sites to share information with my readers, all the while knowing that could lead other potential readers back to me.
I comment constantly on other sites, although they are relevant to the conversaion, I still know that could lead to additional traffic.
I really enjoy participating in these type of interchanges with other Sites and I also enjoy the additional readership they bring. But am I doing them for the wrong reasons?
Back in October of 2005, when I was just starting out, I would have said No. As a person trying to make a living on the internet, I needed all the traffic I could get (and still do). Now, going on a year later, I still do all of the above. I think the advantage of doing all the linking, participation and interchanges has worked out for the best.
The point I am trying to make is… It’s OK to be a little selfish. If you are trying to run a business on the internet, you have to take advantage of every opportunity to get your site exposed. You will not make any money if you don’t.
I’m not saying to be totally selfish to the exclusion of common decency (No Spamming), but to the point where you can feel good in what you do and still succeed in business.
Do you ever feel selfish in trying to get an advantage in business? Am I being selfish doing the things I do?
