Here is a challenge for today…
Find another blogger that you respect, it can be someone you know or do not know. Then take a few minutes out of your day to help improve his or her blog. Many people will go around leaving the same comment on every blog they run across, but your challenge is to spend some quality time here helping someone else out. Here are just a few ways you can do that:
- Leave insightful comments
- Promote the blog post on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter
- Offer to write a guest post on a particular subject
- Link to their blog in your next post
- Suggest topics you would like to see them cover in future posts
We often spend so much time with our own blog that we miss out on some great things that can happen when helping out someone else. I have met a lot of great people and had a a lof of great conversations doing this. Give it a try and I think that you will find Karma does come back around.

Great post, Derek!
In the spirit of helping you out, I’d like you to consider being a little more bold on your blog. Your posts are generally positive, upbeat and supportive commentary. Sometimes you write about your own ideas and sometimes you reference another post or a phenomenon from elsewhere.
But I’d like to see more passion in all directions. How about a rant, or something with some constructive criticism? This will help your readers to understand the range of your thinking on the topics at hand.
Hope this helps! Good luck!
