The Law of Reciprocity (Robert Cialdini) - "...people will be eager to help you when you have helped them first....." It can be hard to start out blogging and find fresh material. You want to blow your trumpet, but you may think that that is inappropriate. After all, we are often told that most people are interested in their favourite topic - themselves!

Give parts of yourself away by writing e-books, publishing short videos, set up polls and even forums once your site gets some traction. It's well worth it, so 'nuff said - more later! ...and here is another great source of ideas:- Jeff Bullas - 10 Secrets to Creating Engaging Content that will Attract Readers Let us have your feedback and ideas.
