Why are you giving away content for free? What are trying to achieve by doing so?

It is important to keep in mind the reasons why you are publishing blog post after blog post, all full of ideas and information and giving them away

As I commented on the post, Chris Anderson says, people pay for your ’free stuff’.  They do it by giving you their time.  When they do so, your online property becomes more valuable.  Down the road you can reap the rewards, if you wish, by doing something that generates money with that rich asset you have created.  At the very least you can sell it to someone else.

Thanks for the compliments but it’s Chris Anderson’s thoughts not mine.  I find he is a very sharp cooky.

What’s impressive is the quality of content Maki attracts in his posts. Amazing how magnetizing the approach is.
