Quid Pro Quo - You Scratch My Back, I Scratch Yours?

Tweet

See me busy as a bee trying to understand myLot and how to make money in the fastest possible time. My three day search led me to one word: Interaction. Everybody says so. That is the key. So, I started visiting peoples’ discussion forum, read blogs, made intelligent comments (I hope), answered comments in my own discussion and tried to include five new person each day (my daily goal). Then I investigated the New Discussion, Hot discussion, Recent discussion and Interesting discussions and got into that as well. Out of curiosity and sympathy I visited the No Response Discussions. I wanted to do a good deed. I was lucky to have had people noticed my blog, so why not make someone else happy, too? The first discussion had two words. TWO WORDS! What the hell? …I shunned that. I wanted to leave a one word answer…but I told myself…just walk away, girl. Don’t comment. Not worth it. The other discussions were average which was okay. Then there were some so vague like you were texting a message to someone. The tags were longer than the message! Seriously! But here is what really ticked me off. I had left a comment in one’s person’s post with an invitation to visit mine anytime… thinking, poor dear, she probably didn’t know that she could get comments by visiting other people’s blogs and they’ll respond in kind. But, to my surprise, she wished me ‘Good Luck” instead. I mean didn’t she understand she was EXPECTED to return the favor? Did she not understand that MY effort will help HER earn…shouldn’t she help ME earn? Quid Pro Quo. Something for something! You scratch my back, I scratch yours. You smile with me, I smile with you. You comment on my blog, I comment on yours. You start a thread, I start a thread. You read three blogs, I read three of your blogs. I mean this is mutual respect, honor bound or duty bound, or just plain common courtesy – the basic ingredient of interaction, right? Was I wrong? Isn’t this how it works?
