It Just Takes A Minute Of Your Time

Posted by Ritu -

Yes! That’s all it takes - a minute of your time to say Thank You!

It’s not possible to thank people enough for their efforts. Nothing motivates more effectively than the overt, emotional, unconditional feedback of an honest thank –you. Whether it’s a child, a friend, an employee, or a boss, an emotional thank – you works miracles - Richard Saunders

So what’s the idea?

Well, the idea here is to thank one person who has tremendously helped us in every single way during our blogging journey. Sometimes it’s just nice to give back. Although we are not giving much, a sincere thank you alone at times is more than enough. If they had enough time to help you out, you should have a minute to thank them. Let’s make use of this post to do just that.

How do we thank them? What do we do?

Nothing much. Just participate and thank one person you would like to thank when it comes to blogging. The person might have helped you setup your blog, helped you write better, helped you gain more subscribers, anything you can think of. If they helped you and took time to cater to your needs, you certainly should take the time to thank them. This post is all about you thanking them for all that they did for you when it comes to blogging.

The commenting here will be a little different though. Instead of putting your name while commenting try putting ” Thank You and the bloggers name ” and this one time, instead of linking to your own blog, link it to theirs. This is the least you can do. Also share with us why you would like to thank them and why they have become such an important part of your blogging life.

Here is an image from the comment box as an example. I have also thanked Jon from Freelance Folder for all he has done for me by making use of this image. Please follow this format while commenting, ( excuse my freehand writing, I am still practicing ;-) )

I can bet you have somebody you would like to thank for all they have done for you. So just do it, right here! After all, it just takes a minute of your time…

    Thank You Jeff Kee from Synchronous Design & Marketing.

    Jeff is the guy behind the scene. He’s the one who designed my theme, explained me WordPress and debugged me when I did stupid things messing with PHP code.

    Jeff you are a WordPress PHP hero and I thank you very much for helping me.
