Alright this may seem like a strange post for the WordPress Rockstar, but it has a lot of advice. While helping others with their website or business may seem counter intuitive, there are benefits that that go beyond those you can see. Helping someone today, may help your business next week. Going that extra mile may spell out a benefit that you currently may not see.
An Example
Here is an example. Being more of a behind the scenes type person, it means I do not push my name out in public. Since I have helped various people with WordPress problems, even ones their tech person can not fix I have built a name. Now there are people who email me who need immediate help and are willing to pay for it.
But what about your business?
While that was helping people with my specialty, helping others in business can benefit you in additional ways. Perhaps someone needs help with something you know, you can offer a skill trade, like a barter. Trade your writing skills for their graphic skills. This helps both of you and does not cost a thing.
What about #Blog30?
Right now #Blog30 is running. This is a great chance to read phenomenal blogs and share them with others. You can comment on the blogs and help various people by pointing out things that can help make their blog better. By helping others they are more inclined to watch out for you and your business. In addition this cross communication of sharing information means invisible webs are being woven. A business acquaintance mentions your blog post on Twitter. Someone who reads their stream, may recommend you to someone else. Then that person may seek you out for friendship or business partnerships.
This is the beauty of sharing kindness. What you do today, you may not see. You may not see anything tomorrow either, but you could a week from now, a month from now… even later. What you will get back will be a reflection of what you do. So are you going to turn your back or spread the love?

So true MJ! The old saying should be slightly modified…”What goes around comes around MULTIPLIED!”I'd like to be the go-to-guy when any internet marketing newbie has a question about Outsourcing… http://www.outsourcingcontrol.com Mtn Jimp.s. and when they have WordPress questions, I know who to refer them to
