For example, if Paulo Coehlo or Dita Von Teese mentions your blog post, you might get 100,000 visits+ in the next 24 hours. Or 2,000 followers to your Twitter account. Overnight! So, as a matter of fact, no one who knows and does social is so naive or obtuse that they do not see the value of a mention by someone with a larger reach and audience. But allow me to suggest that most of us will enjoy greater gains and faster growth of online presence if we provided persistant and faithful equity of value to each other in a community of 100-300 active social participants. You can build such a community here. <br /><br /><br />We can defy the stars and fate - if we dare.

I find the idea ...Thank you for your comment, Stan! I find the idea of a "price" of the reciprocation, the fact that it's not the thought that matters, but the actual reach potential a share has, according to the number of contacts someone has. I'm not sure this is actually valid for everyone, which is probably why many don't feel the obligation to reach the same amount of people by commenting, liking and sharing more posts. It would be interesting to know what Marjorie thinks about this.Maria Petrescuhttp://www.facebook.com/maria.petrescunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-819538359600957462.post-36377135406580312262013-03-25T16:45:35.527+01:002013-03-25T16:45:35.527+01:00The Medici's make for leisurely sport.

I may be mistaken, but I believe that it is evil ways of the Medici's that are the inspiration for Niccolo Machiaveli's The Prince. <br /><br />Wealth, power and influence - for the obvious reasons - will always be interesting.<br /><br />But I have occasionally wondered whether or not the meek, the poor in spirit, and the pure of heart can profit by the ways and means of the wealthy, powerful and influential. Are these ways and means the rising tides that can lift small boats? This was, in fact, the hope, promise and merit of capitalism.<br /><br />Reciprocity, itself, is a greater challenge than we may care to admit - especially when everyone, equally, wants something for nothing. However, tit for tat, to be providential must provide an equity in results - not action. If I mention you on my Facebook fan page and bring you to 50,000 eyes, your mentioning me on your fan page to 100 eyes is not a reciprocity. Reciprocity requires you to commit yourself to liking a 100 posts (or more), supporting my posts with encouraging comments for months and months, sharing my posts across Facebook, G+, etc. across a year.<br /><br /><br /><br />Sadly, it is the rare individual who pays his/her social debt. And rarer for the individual who pays it gladly. And this, I fear, is why more people do not succeed in their social web ambitions.Stan Farynahttp://stanfaryna.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
