Notes
On Self Promotion
Mr Zeldman has put together some excellent thoughts On Self Promotion (complete with Jedi mind trickery). It’s all about sharing, a hurdle most frequently fall at; equally important, you can’t fake this. Zeldman states:
The more you find and promote other people’s good work, the more in-the-know and “expert” you are perceived to be — and the more you (or your brand, if you must) are liked.
It’s all about karma (which, incidentally, is the title of our first lecture for our final year interactive design students). What goes around comes around or, as Mr Zeldman puts it, “Share for the joy of the sharing, and because the information you’re sharing genuinely excites you. Do that, and the rest will follow.”
Sound advice. Well worth reading.
