Yesterday, I went to my friend Alejandro Reyes’ blog at SuccessFool.com

I posted a comment to one of his articles, and I received a pleasant surprise.  A few moments later there was an email in my box… thanking me for commenting.

So simple, and automated!  Yet it stood out.  It’s a perfect example of how easy it is to be extraordinary… you just need to do the little "extra". 

More importantly for your purposes, dear reader, was that the simple act of a thank you begun the relationship building.  In the big expansive space of the world wide web, my contribution was noticed, by someone who genuinely cared.

Way to go Alejandro!  Keep up the excellent value you’re providing.  And thanks for letting me know the plugin you’re using.

Wanna test it out?  Comment to this article and see it in action.

 

Be inspired,
Donna

    In a day and age where we’re bombarded with phone calls, text messages, emails, instant messages, & even twitter, I believe that we still have to make time EVERY SINGLE day to thank someone.

    Yes I said every single day. Honestly try it. Try picking out someone new everyday to thank. Let them know you appreciate them and that they’re important in your life. I assure you, that will go a long way.

    Today, thank YOU Donna Fox for being who you are and taking the time to give me advice about business and provide value in my life in the midst of things you have going on.

    You are a rock star!!!!

    I noticed that too! What a great feature. I’ll need to figure out how to do it on my blog soon.

    of course, the plug-in is brilliant.

    But, the way you’ve used it to drive traffic to your blog and increase comments is equally brilliant!

    Felicades!

    Good Luck,

    Pat

    Hi Donna -

    I just listened to a long audio interview about Marketing To Women that you did with Tony Blake, so I was surprised to see the words “crush the competition ” in your About the Author piece.

    Have I missed something? Or was that deliberate (perhaps to see if I was paying attention)?

    I was being tongue-in-cheek ;)
    Thanks for noticing!
