Supporting Those Who Supported You

A couple days ago,
we talked about having a plan
for giving back.

Consider allocating part of that plan
to giving back
to people/businesses
who have supported you.

When I was a brand new writer,
there were a few small book bloggers
who really supported me.
They often promoted my books
for free.

Today, as a mid-sized writer,
I buy advertising
on those small sites.
Does this make an impact on my sales?
Not at this stage of my career.

But my advertising dollars send a message
that I’m grateful for the assistance,
which prompts mid-sized sites to help me.
And it allows these small book bloggers
to promote other up and coming writers.

When I become a BIG writer,
I will add the mid-sized sites
to the list of sites I support.

Support those who supported you.
