There is etiquette in every aspect of human interaction both in business and social situations.
Using ALL CAPS is like SCREAMING at someone when corresponding online and via email and is taken in offense especially when coupled with intense and possibly passionate conversation. Some people are unaware of this. However, now that you know that using ALL CAPS is like SCREAMING at someone you get to make the decision as to if you will continue using them or not when corresponding online.
The message we are sharing and the message that is being received is often two different things. We should all be mindful of this when communicating both online and off.
It has been my experience that factual information stands on its’ own merit and is very difficult to argue. However, the facts should be presented at that -as facts. In the event that you have two fantastic arguments or points of view wisdom teaches us to agree to disagree and keep it moving.

When sharing on social media, people often ask may they pick my brain on personal development, motivation, social media for business and/or self-publishing. What rarely crosses their mind is that social media is a tool for me to brand, market and promote my professional services. Once they seek personalized information “picking my brain” which sounds very painful they’ve crossed the line into professional coaching and consulting services for which there’s a fee.
Professionals may have a different approach or system, but generally this is how it works for people who use the internet to brand, market, promote and/or otherwise publicize their products/services.
- Free info via my websites, blogs, videos, audios and articles online.
- Money is earned when people click on Google Ads on various sites and blogs.
- Money is earned when people download one or more of the products that was developed or one that is being promoted by the affiliate marketer.
- Money is earned through coaching and consulting. Advice is normally free when people find it online or they may be directed to a specific site or blog. When people want personalized info that’s when they pay consulting/coaching.
