In a strange parallel to love, B.L. Ochman has found that “the more he gives (away for free), the more he receives (in money)” I believe the secret here in love and business is in not giving half-measures.
When business people “give their shop away” it means that they’re wasting time teasing and not giving.
Ever see how mad a dog becomes when teased with steak versus how loyal when you feed it? Same in business.
I have personally donated money to Greymatter as well as SharpReader, just two examples.
They’re both 100% free, no strings attached and no teasing, just raw steak.
Via ProBlogger, who is a perfect example of this.

What a great list of articles. And thanks for including mine. But I must point out that I am female, and not a “he”

My picture is on my blog.
And all over my website.

Well, that was a direct quote so I guess you weren’t referring to yourself. That said, I don’t think I knew that — I read you via RSS exclusively! Now I know.
