Stop taking yourself for granted...

This may sound simple, but I'm going to spell it out for you right here...

People might not know everything that you know.

Duh, right? I mean, that's what all info products are based on, that's what the whole offline gold thing is about, thats why people buy a lot of services you can offer, etc.

But think about it - there are people making $10k/month doing simple SEO (and I mean dead simple, inserting a few long-tail keywords and calling yourself a genius SEO) because their clients probably think long-tail keywords are only for pet related businesses. They don't know something that you probably take for granted.

Or what about setting up a wordpress blog. Hundreds of people make a living setting up wordpress websites for online and offline companies and keeping them updated. Most people here know how to do that, but not everyone does.

Stop taking your knowledge for granted. Can you make candy apples? Clean soap scum from your shower? Install a PHP script? Run an adwords campaign? Fix computer problems? Hook up your home theatre system? Good - because not everybody can, and you have to help them!

Just a friendly reminder.

    I am probably one of the worlds worst for this. I know a lot about a quite a few things an I take it for granted that most people know as much as I do. So much so that I am actually amazed when someone says "how do you do that" or I didn't know you could do that".

    Thanks for the reminder.

    Hi Cherilyn,
    As always posting great advice and information... I would very much agree about people like the SEO, some are just so greedy that they will take full advantage of someone that does not know anything about SEO..

    WordPress Blogs, Yes there are some that will charge an arm and a leg for 5 minutes work.. I know I have installed several for free for members on here and I know other have also .. I know some WF members actually made videos and gave them away for free so people would understand how to do it...

    Course this is one thing that makes the WF what it is ...
