My Thoughts: Does Paying It Forward Work?

I have never really experienced how "Paying It Forward" works until quite
recently. Because of the posts and threads that say paying it forward is
giving more value even if it costs you something right now and it'll be
better in the long run, I just thought it's a good concept.

Some time back, Albert Hallado (also a Warrior here) had an offer and he
gave away a minisite template which include the PSDs for editing via
Photoshop. I thought it was a good deal so I got it and played around
with it.

I thought that was the end of it. I'l just be like another freebie user and
just take advantage of free stuff.

A few weeks after that and into my own campaign to learn more about
Internet Marketing, I realise that I might need to have my own minisite
and guess what? The first person I think of is Albert Hallado.

So, I think paying it forward does work. When you provide real value to
real people and you're not expecting to get anything back from them,
you'll get good reciprocation. Either in terms of value or money. Albert
is literally giving away his template via download link. No signup to a
newsletter, no sales, nothing. Just a download link.

To Albert: Although I still can't make a purchase from you because I'm
still a new (read broke) internet marketer, I think you made a right
choice to give first instead of asking for a payment straight.

If anyone wants to get his free template, it's available at his blog. Here's
