Have you experienced e-mails from people just venturing forth in Internet marketing? Perhaps they are eager to hear advise from a seasoned veteran. Perhaps they are interested in joining one of your affiliate programs. Maybe they've just joined one of your programs and they need help getting off the ground.

It's a good idea not to ignore newbies who reach out to you. You probably remember when you were just getting your feet wet in the world of IM. Having good advice at your disposal was no doubt instrumental in getting you off and running. Why not return the favor?

Remember the rule of Karma. When you do good to others, good things are done to you. Here are a few examples of how Karma can work in your favor when dealing with newbies.

1. You will feel good knowing that you had a part in
helping them build their business. You can sit back
and say "I had a part in their success."


2. They may become one of your best friends. Most
people can use new friends, even business owners.
You may even become business partners and create
a totally new business together.


3. You could end up being strategic business allies
in the future. You could regularly do joint venture
and cross promotion deals with each other.


4. They may help you out with your business. Maybe
they will give you some testimonials or endorsements
for your products or services.


5. You might gain some valuable referrals from them.
They may also join your affiliate program and make
sales for your business.


6. They might offer you some free advertising space
on their web site or in their e-zine for your help. You
could also exchange advertising with them.


7. You both could end up developing a new product
or service together. The product or service could be
a combination of your current ones.


8. They might purchase the products you sell and
become one of your best customers. You could sell
them many back end products or services in the
future.

Following the rules of karma in regards to helping newbies isn't only the right thing to do, but it can also pay off in a big way.
