Hello everyone! I felt like it was time for a short blog... I have been having a difficult time looking at some websites lately, so this is for the new people who do and don't fall into this category.

I will keep this short.

You need to be honest with your readers. Too many times I see folks lying about this or that. Look, lying to your audience is only going to ruin your credibility. Lying to your audience is going to leave you in a big ole pile of crap, and it's certain that you will fail quickly...

Secondly, don't talk down onto your readers. I have seen many folks talking down on their followers as if they were better than them. This is not how you build a loyal following. If you are mean to your audience, they will probably be turned off, and they will probably leave your you site without buying anything. Just be nice, help them, but do not talk down onto them..

That's it for this short post, I hope it opens your eyes a little bit!

Chris
