People say there is no such thing as altruism. Perhaps that is true. Fact is, helping other people feels good.

To me it doesn’t matter if I get a kick out of helping people, it doesn’t diminish the benefits the recipient gains so I find it hard to feel guilty about that.

My tip for you today is to go help another blogger. I promise you, it will feel great and we all need a bit of help, pat on the head or a boost every so often.

You can help other people out in tons of ways, here are a few:

  1. Make a great comment
  2. Stumble or bookmark a good post
  3. Link to your favorite reads
  4. Answer a question in a forum
  5. Donate towards a good cause
  6. Buy another bloggers ebook
  7. Buy a book for a friend
  8. Send an email complimenting someone on their work
  9. Twitter about someone you like
  10. Forward a fantastic email to friends

All of these things will help your fellow bloggers and give you a warm and fuzzy feeling. If you are stuck for something to donate to, it would be great if you could read this article and maybe contribute.
