I think this is great advice, but it seems like such a gray area. For example, when I write blog articles I think I do a pretty good job of writing out of a genuine desire to help the people who read the blog. But there are definitely times when I think, "How can I word the title or the tweet about it a way that will get more people to read it?" or "What can I say that will get more people to comment or link to it?"

Think about your church… I'm sure all its ministries are done for the benefit of the people, but do you ever feel pressure to "sell" people on whatever activities you're "promoting" in the announcements and the program/bulletin?

Wish churches would begin to consider your proposition of investing the marketing budget into the community in need around them. And would have to be done with an attitude of humility, not expecting to march those who were helped in front of your congregation so you can pat yourself on the back.

Phil – so glad I joined twitter with a desire to just connect. Glad to have met you and so many others there. Maybe I do need a strategy to be more purposeful about how I leverage that, what do you think?

cool timing; I see that there is a post over at TwitTip on Twitter : the Art of Influence ->http://www.twitip.com/twitter-the-art-of-influenc…

I guess here is where some strategy comes into play: if you want to help, promote or engage with people – make sure that you follow and befriend a good number of peeps that you can help, promote and engage with.

As apposed to following only 'super-stars'.

I think that is wonderful advice. We should only provide things that help others – blogs, tweets, articles, links, etc. Then people will love to read out stuff and will tell their friends about those things too.
