We all learned the principles of building trust at a young age. Good online content follows these same principles. Need a little reminding?

.

• Tell the truth – Always. Never lie
• Don’t brag – No one likes a self promoter
• Give before you get – Always help others before you ask for help in return
• Don’t copy other people’s work – Don’t plagiarize. Pulling content from other sites or sources is a no-no
• Do your homework – Research and be sure your facts are right
• Share – If you have expertise that can help others, sharing it in a blog or a website can be a great service to others.

Does it take more time to slow down and follow principles? Absolutely. And, its the right thing to do.
