Great post. Building trust is essential and allows business between parties with trust in one another to move faster. And, speed of implementation in business is very powerful.

But, trust is easier to build than many people think. And, when you have built trust, the other party will forgive then small mistakes that we inevitably make. Just don’t abuse the trust.

Also, no skill set helps to build rapport and trust more than great communications skills. Becoming an effective persuader and communicator helps to build trust and trust builds business. Just be sure that you have earned the other parties’ trust and maintain it. Over deliver consistently.

@Josh, yeah, I’ve bookmarked it and take my time in reading the above. It helps as I’m marketing myself as a freelance designer now.

The post’s title is interesting to me. But, I think the content itself is too long. I guess I dislike read long post on screen. Give me a book, and I’ll finish it.

It definitely takes time to “scratch your back” but it’s SO worth it when the payoff finally starts to kick in!

great post, Josh. Need to re-read it again as you obviously have a good point:)Blog is a really powerful tool and I was surprised that even eBay now has a free blogging option for its members. So, basically if you have an account on eBay you can set up a blog over there. But, all links are gonna be a “no-follow”, which automatically makes it less attractive, unless you sell something on eBay and try to reach its community. My point is that big corporations are now value benefits of blogging and understand huge potential of bloggers.

Good basic information on not only marketing but doing business in general. I also try to remind myself that I don’t have to have a top 100 blog or even a top 1000 blog in order to reach my goals, one of the benefits to internet/blog marketing is that we only have to get famous enough to reach our audience. Steven van Yoder talks about this in his book: Get Slightly Famous.
