INTERNET MARKETING FOR SMART PEOPLE<br />

In exchange <strong>for</strong> everything you do <strong>for</strong> your village, you must also conduct<br />

yourself in a businesslike way.<br />

That means setting appropriate boundaries, making it clear from the<br />

beginning that you’ll be offering products <strong>for</strong> sale, and taking from the village<br />

as well as giving to it.<br />

This is where many bloggers and other social media types stumble, and we’re<br />

going to give you much more specific advice on how you’ll do that with your<br />

own village. To get you started, take a look at this post, aimed at what I call<br />

Specifically, we’ll go in-depth on the one element that can make or break your<br />
