"You
can share your knowledge and experience and
help others in the process..."
Build
Your Business Person-to-Person
There
are many ways to keep up the tradition of building
relationships and helping fellow netizens. Here
are a few:
Provide
Free Content and Resources on Your Website.
When you put up a website, make available resources
and information for people just learning the
business or building an existing business. There
are numerous articles, ebooks, downloads, web
tools and more you can make available on your
site. A few places to find these things are

http://www.makingprofit.com
http://www.freewarefiles.com/

Answer
Email Inquiries. When newbies or pros email
you to ask your advice or to get your help on
something, you should be as helpful and considerate
as you can. Answer the email as quickly as you
can and show that person the respect and concern
you would like others to show you. Encourage
them to write back if they need more help. Remember,
you were once in that position also. This is
a great way to not only build business relationships,
but also friendships as well.
Provide
Free Classifieds on Your Site or in Your Ezine.
This is a great way for beginners or people
on a tight budget to get in some advertising.
Post your guidelines and make sure everybody
follows them.
Put
a Message Board on Your Site or Start an Email
Discussion List. This gives people a way
to actually "talk" to other people who have
been in their shoes and have learned by experience.
You can share your knowledge and experience
and help others in the process.
Publish
an Ezine. This is a great way not only to
build your business, but to provide resources
and information for other netizens. A couple
of great sites to help you get started with
an ezine are: http://www.e-zinez.com and http://www.ezineuniversity.com
Do
Ad Swaps with Other Publishers (even if
they do not have as many subscribers) I have
had only one publisher turn me down for a swap
because I did not have enough subscribers. I
do not believe in this. Besides helping out
the new publisher, you could possibly gain more
subs than from a bigger ezine. When doing business
on the net, you must not forget that there are
people on the other end of your screen and you
cannot lose that person to person contact that
we need to succeed. And not only are you helping
others in their business, but you are building
a reputation for you and credibility for your
business! So in closing, I would like to thank
all publishers and webmasters who provide any
or all of these services. There are many of
us who are very grateful!

I would like to dedicate this article to all
the business people who are so helpful and willing
to go the extra mile to help out newbies and
"oldies" alike! I have been in this business
for almost two years and I am always amazed
at how much people are willing to help each
other out. This is one of the reasons I love
this business so much. I want to encourage newbies
and pros alike to keep up this tradition, which
makes the World Wide Web such a great place
to work.
