You shouldn't have to ask

Are you doing something good or perhaps something that people (apparently) like. Perhaps you have a cool online community. Or a very useful blog. Or sell some nice products nicely package with top customer service.

Should you have to ask people to spread the word for you?

I recently got asked to RT (retweet) something on Twitter.  I didn’t do it.  Not anything against the person or organisation that made the request (they’re actually doing good stuff), but it’s more against my principles.  I’m happy to spread the word when I feel it is right for me, my brand and the people that may be following me.

You are probably doing something not quite right if you find yourself asking people to review your product. Or to write an article on it. Or to tweet about it.

A great way to let your community grow is to keep your members happy.  If they are happy they won’t think twice about promoting your online community or business for free (and with pleasure).
