Tip for building relationships at APSense : don't claim credits on your friends campaigns

by Philippe Moisan Tutorial videos, sci-fi writer
When you see a campaign launched by one of your friends here at APSense, don't jump on it to claim the credits.

Open the campaign, if it's a blog or a RevPage, do post a comment, praise your friend.

But don't claim the credits.

Your friend will appreciate the gesture.

One more advantage of acting like this : the campaign will be seen by one more person.

It might be the start of a new business relationship for your friend.

Chances are, it will be for you two, cause your friend will talk about his/her friends at APSense to the new contact.

This tip might make a big difference in your business future.

Maybe not this time. But next time. Or the next. Or the next.

You never know.

Remember, building an online business is a long term project.

Always think long term.

In all honesty unless if it just a blog etc I'd rather have those credits go to a friend than a credit thief. I also do a little something else when I come across good posts a lot of times I will run a campaign for that post.

So I don't mind claiming a few credits from a friend's campaign because if they are a friend, sooner or later I will be giving those credits back by creating a campaign on their behalf.

Cheryl, creating a campaign promoting someone else's product, blog or RevPage is not something many people will do, IMHO

I totally agree, Cheryl! I have done the same for a blog or discussion that I find to have excellent information. It is all a give and take...some need the credits for advertising, and why not get credit for supporting a pal?

People do it Philippe, but it the people who are building relationships and serious about it. the spammers scammers won't do it no but those building a relationship with each other will.

I do not claim credits when I think a lot of people should see it. occasionally I spend credits on a campaign from somebody else.

I do think you are right because some individuals tend to just take advantage of your credits and leaving you blind! Thank you for the information.

Yes Paula I have seen both you and Dawie do it more than once. That's saying a lot because I rarely bother myself with looking at the campaigns unless it's a mission or I get a complaint.

@Mal77, some people claim the credits to amass enough to launch a campaign of their own. :(

I've seen that a few times. It is sad. These people don't realize they're hurting their business in the long run.

well, I'm going to blog, revpage or campaign if found something interesting. maybe I should think about your proposal and check if the friend started a campaign and avoid campaign? I don't know for sure...

@marS, nobody's perfect. What I wrote is not black and white. It's a suggestion, not an exact science. Who knows, maybe some people do things differently and have a lot of success.

I'm open to suggestions.

@James, I don't remember if you are a member of my "Achieve work-life balance" group, if not, I invite you to take a look, my friends Dawie and Sean North have started posting many quotes there, just like yours. If you have more of those, I will gladly invite you to contribute them in the group. :)
