From the Outside Looking In

Outside, New Orleans, Louisiana

Hugh MacLeod, The Three Keys to Social Media Marketing:

1. Figure out what your gift is, and give it to them on a regular basis. 2. Make sure it’s received as a real gift, not as an advertising message 3. Then figure out exactly what it is that your trail of breadcrumbs leads back to.

As an outsider to this inside, I’m curious: what’s the biggest gift you get from me?

Thoughts appreciated, comments or email, perfectly fine…

“2. Make sure it’s received as a real gift, not as an advertising message.”
Good point. People generally don't respond positively to anything salesy.

As for your question, like jetsetcitizen said, you make me think more. You often bring an interesting viewpoint to things. And ever since I started reading your blog I've learnt lots about photography, business and… life. So thanks.

People can see through a a gift masquerading as an advertising message, and tend to react very negatively once the masquerade is exposed.

And thank you…
