1/15/2009 Who You Hang Out With On Your Site or Blog Has A Big Impact On Your Long Term Success
Who you "hang out" with online is very important. Your audience makes inherent judgments about your credibility, integrity and sincerity based on who your site is associated with. This has to do with all the elements on your site:
It's easy to control the NON-MONETARY parts of your blog or site. Where it gets sticky and tempting is when you are faced with saying "NO" to some good income because you know you don't want to be (or know you shouldn't be) associated with the advertiser or idea. Sometimes its obvious you need to say NO One time, I had a big casino contact me and wanted me to do a bunch of graphic design and web work. Someone was going to do it anyway. Most of my readers would probably never know I did it. Me doing it, or not doing, wasn't going to deter the Casino. I needed the money. But the answer was "NO", and I knew it immediately. It wasn't even a debate. What I represent online and in my writing was not compatible with trading my integrity for income by bringing on a client like that. I didn't want to "hang out" with them for many reasons, but what it said about my sincerity was obvious (given what I write about every day). Sometimes it is NOT so obvious you should say NO Sometimes we just get this little itch, or uncomfortableness about an advertiser or idea. We can't put our finger on it, but if we have a conscience, we just know something is not quite right. Trust those intuitions. Ask some other folks you trust for their opinion. They'll help you decide if you should say no. If you want to build a good online business, or professional blog, you have to think long term. Who you hang out with says alot about who you are. Don't betray your customers or readers for money or any other reason. If you do, they'll abandon you for sure. ~ Brent |
