Give versus Take

Give vs. Take: "What Have Readers Done for ME Lately?"

Are You Asking the Right Question? Content creation - no matter the type - can often feel like a one-sided relationship. You seem to give and give to your audience, but no one's taking. Before you nod in agreement, ask yourself one question: Is what you're giving worth taking? You know what you're giving is worth it when your audience is engaging and you're networking with the right people. You may find all of your writing efforts have been worth it when you look back at your year and see the changes in your traffic and exposure. But more importantly, you know it was worth it when you can look at the connections you've made and the feedback on how your articles, big or small, have positively impacted the lives of your readers. But wait! Before anything else, ask yourself, "What have YOU done for your readers lately?"
