Tea "Give to receive" principle

Have you ever wondered why few blogs get all the success while most fail? Some of these big guys have thousands of RSS subscribers, while most of the others don’t even go into the thousands. The answer to these questions lies in a very basic principle. The law of reciprocity and the principle of giving to receive. Failure to adhere to these principles will almost guarantee that you will not achieve any success in the long run.

All truly successful entrepreneurs understand this fundamental principle of giving to others without expectations. What you provide can be information, enthusiasm or inspiration, it doesn’t matter. All that matters is that you give something back to the community before you start expecting anything from it. Doing this correctly and honestly is also important. The fact is that this principle does not only apply to blogs, it applies to all areas of life. Take your job for example, when you start to give more to your company, the people around you start to see you differently. Suddenly you become an inspiration to many. People start looking up to you for doing important work. They start to trust you. And before you know it, you start taking things back. Maybe a promotion, a raise and what not?

It is your attitude towards others and the willingness to help without expecting anything in return that makes you attractive. So how can we use this principle in blogging?

1. Write high-quality posts with the intention of giving your readers the best information.

2. Be consistent. Get in the habit of posting every day.

3. Take negative comments positively. It will disappear very soon. Use those negative comments to improve your blog and yourself.

4. Make a blog update monthly, weekly, or even daily. Do it with the intention of making it healthy. Beauty will be a byproduct of it.

The proper application of the principle of giving to receive will inevitably lead to the principle of reciprocity. When you get to a stage of taking things back, you will not only get success, but it will stay with you for a long time.
