Hi, Linda!
I think this is very good advice to follow for everyone. Especially for someone new to the internet and forums.
I am new here and to the internet business world. I am trying to learn everyting I can before jumping into something I will only regret. I believe you should treat everyone with the same respect that you yourself would like to receive.
What you have pointed out is that far too often advertisers are not personal enough. Is this correct? That people are more apt to respond to the respect they see in your tone of your words?
I know that I respond to those ads that seem more personal than general.
Thank you for putting this out there. You have been very helpful to me and I'm sure many others.
Tina
P.S. I agree about the used car salesmen!
