Tip #11 - Be Specific

Sometimes we get good ideas/inspiration which we want to share. So we're extending our Tips & Tricks series with this list of additional items that we hope will help you out...

BE SPECIFIC
You may have told people: "Please help me spread the word".  How do people know they've "succeeded"?  If you want them to feel proud of themselves for helping you, equip them to do so by being specific.  Say something like "Please email or tell at least 3 people about my Chance to help me spread the word."  See the difference?  Now they will know they "succeeded" in granting your request if they tell 3 people.  Of course most people will tell more than 3 other people - but 3 feels achievable, which means more people are likely to do it.
