CHAPTER

The Importance of Community Relationships

If you consistently share valuable information online and contribute meaningfully to conversations that people care about, the individuals involved will eventually feel indebted to you. This feeling then prompts them to help you out in some way, creating an active desire to even things out with you. Practicing this at scale by sharing your knowledge freely can lead not only the people you interact with but also larger groups of observing these interactions,. appreciating your generosity and selflessness. If you can afford it, look at serving your community as a long-term bet. Instead of focusing solely on immediate compensation for work done today like most freelancers do because exposure doesn't pay the bills, consider making long-term investments into community relationships
