On the other hand, attempt to treat this extremely valuable source, like your own personal ATM machine! And you will have blown one of your best sources, for not only gaining credibility in your niche!

By demonstrating your expertise! And the remaining 20% (or less!) promoting your products and services!Because it also makes it ten times easier to (attract) both new potential customers and clients! And potential JV partners as well!
