“Giving Value” is a term that gets passed around and around in internet marketing. Many people are sure they know what this means, but ask them to put their meaning to words, and you get an assortment of responses that could leave you still guessing.
Do you think the term “giving value” has anything to do with giving a freebie, a product discount, or your best advice on a product you’re selling? How much is any of this really going to endear you to the “giver”? Will it bring out the best in the other person? Very doubtful!
People, however, do tend to support someone who provides them with real value—be this in business, friendship, or relationships.
Giving real value happens when you take your time to share stories and tips that could benefit the receiver, when you understand someone’s need for a particular solution to a problem and you supply the solution, when you bring energy, ideas, and resources to the scene You do all this without the expectation of any gain yourself, of receiving anything in return. You make sure that the unique solution you offer fits their needs; and you follow up if that is appropriate.
This will surely bring out the best in the other person, for often they will want to give something back, feeling that a kindness needs to be rewarded.
This giving of value is your path to gaining trust and friendship and, sometimes, the things they will do in return—but not anticipated. This also is your path to feeling the energy that can be experienced in the process and to developing the feeling of being interconnected to the world around you. Something of value will come back to you at some point.

Hi Lottie!
Thank you for your valuable friendship. I have learned so much from you already and look forward to learning much more. I have not seen a Shaklee PWS with more definitive information about our wonderful products. It is obvious that there has been a lot of research done in creating these products and your ability to capture that information and share it with others is totally amazing. I hope a lot of people see your websites and blogs.

Hi Lottie,
Love the blog! Great job…and I couldn’t agree more about giving value. It took me a while to learn but once I ‘got it’ I’ve never looked back. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and as Ken said, I hope lots of people visit and get to know you and your love for nature and life.

Hi Lottie,
Great job on your blog, and a very thought-provoking article; it’s so easy for us all to get caught up in selling, but giving value in anything is what creates things that last. Thanks for the reminder

Hi Lottie,
Nice article on value, and your right, it’s about giving valuable information and forming relationships whether’s business or friendship. Always taking the extra minute to listen to someone will bring you closer. Always ask what can I do for you and the solutions to solve the problem.
I wish you much success with your wonderful blog.
Peace, Love & Success,

Hi Lottie,
One of the reasons I love the blogosphere so much is because of the selfless, generous attitude of most (if not all) I’ve met in my blogging adventure.
If everything we post has some useful value to the guests and readers, that is reason enough and reward enough.
I have gotten so much from the free content that is just given away, without thought of remuneration, sometimes more valuable than the stuff I’ve actually paid for.
Best of Life!
Lottie, you have so much to offer as a writer and in the department of wisdom! Please get your butt back to posting great intelligent, well written articles!
Your FAN, Kim Jensen
