Value! That what online marketing as evolved into. In this video I go over the “give away the farm to get the bank” marketing principle. I discuss how important it is to first give before you can receive and how you can make your offers more attractive by giving more that what is expected.
If you like this please comment, share, and tweet it! I would love to know how you’re using this principle in your marketing plan.

Awesome Post Mike!
Giving value and giving before recieving is what its all about!
Give and you shall recieve! That’s the motto to live after and it has affected my life immensly as well.
A lot of people don’t live with that mindset though, so it’s very good that you are bringng this topic up!
Keep on Giving my friend!

Hello Michael!
You are such a powerful speaker! Your message is always from your very big heart! This is the foundation of it all! Isn’t this what LIFE is all about?
Blogging and social media will be easy for people who believe in giving away the farm in their own lives. For others, it will be necessary to develop that mindset before this approach will work. I am a firm believer that this must come from the heart; it cannot be a “strategy” that you employ solely for the purpose of what you will get out of it.
Everything comes back to the Golden Rule. But you are leading us all in the right direction! See you at the bank!

Thanks Nancy! the golden rule is KEY!!
Hey Michael
Great video! My motto is “what goes around comes around.” Remember that one?
It is true. If you have an open heart and give just for the sake of giving, you will be blessed. Since I had my brick and mortar business, I counseled people and always gave a little more. More time, a book to help them, a referral, etc. 30 years later, I still have that clientele AND all their recommendations. It is the cornerstone of my business.
When I went online, I applied the same principles and people are messaging me like crazy.
Always go the extra mile because EVERY person you come in contact with is there for a reason. Giving of ourselves builds tighter bonds. But the giving must be genuine and from your heart. People always know the difference.
Thanks for sharing this great video

Yes Donna! What goes around DOES come around indeed! I see that you understand the value in that!
Mike,
The law of reciprocity at it’s finest! Give it away and it will come back 10 fold. We’ve seen this first hand with so many people that’s its still amazes me that more people just don’t quite get it.
thanks for setting the bar right where it needs to be… nice and high!

No Problem Chris! Glad you liked it!
Thanks Mike for another HOT post!
Raising the Free bar to encourage
people to buy from you, follow your
content, or join your business is
one of the most important lessons
to learn as an online marketer. Very
few actually ‘get it.’ And you my
friend do!

Thanks Kary! You give some really great value too!
I think this post truly identifies what all of us who have formed tribes has found to be true. It is a principle many of us were taught as children, but sometimes we need a gentle reminder to refocus. It is always better to give than to receive and we always receive more when we give first. When more of the world learns to live by this principle, the world as a whole will experience true joy!
Thanks for all you do Mike,

Live a life of principle and value and you will have true success coming your way!
Mike – It is so hard for some people to understand the whole point of “givers gain”. You have to earn people’s trust and relationship by giving to them first before you can expect to receive! Thanks

You’re exactly right Glyna! Thanks for your comment!
Great advice Mike!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. This industry is all about being a go-giver, that’s the only way you are going to receive. But, even more than that, the best way to set ourselves apart is offering extra free unique content and value. It makes all the difference!
Thanks Mike!
