Do things don't scale is good advice for when you're starting out. I read all the comments right now on my YouTube channel since it's still small...and as long they're not mean, I'll respond to them either with engagement or a quick message.

Jon same here man. This is the kinda stuff that big creators simply can't do since they get hundreds or even thousands of comments per video. That's our advantage for now

I completely agree with this article. I have unsubscribed from a number of ‘big names’ because all they do is sell. Especially at the rates they charge.

You remain the only person I have ever bought anything from and I did this because you take the time to talk and comment. You answered my newbie questions when I started. It had nothing to do with any advertising email you sent out🤣

I also have to say that you offer real value for money too which is another important point in selling anything.

Thank you for this. It's a reminder without an expiry date. It's a little sad that we need a reminder at all in this day and age to slow down a little & be thoughtful, but we do. Even me.

I'll try and remember your words the next time I want to dash off a "Cool!" response.

Personally, I think it’s not only a good business practice to put product links in the article as long as it relates to the content, and it will truly help the reader to solve a problem they may be having. I also think a blogger would do well to offer product links in the article however, these products ie., charts, PDFs, etc. would be free.
