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

Nice perspectives on what and what not to do. Cheryl provides a good point and by creating a campaign for a friend is an excellent method of building on a friendship.

@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. :)

@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.

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...

@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.

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.

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.

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 know, Cheryl, for sure I meant the spammers and scammers

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 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?

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