Added Value: Stand Out From The Crowd
In good times and tough times, in a world of anonymity and scam artists prying the next target at every corner of the web, it is important to positively stand out from the crowd. When you stand out from the crowd your partners will treat you differently. When things happen that are out of your partners’ control, if you created the right dynamics in the relationship, you are likely to get the word out before others, an advance notice which may provide an advantage on the whole marketplace, or maybe save you from upcoming legal trouble.

When you stand out from the crowd, when you have trust built in the relationship with your partners, when things may look suspicious in your account for one reason or another, they will first call and check with you what is going on rather than as it happens quite often, suspend your account and ask questions later (if that). When you stand out from the crowd in the community you provide added value to your partners, as you are viewed by many, partners and associates, as an influencer- that is, others in the community are influenced by your words, and more importantly - your actions. I truly believe the added value provided by standing out adds up, and while it is hard to impossible at times to quantify, I believe you are always better off standing out than you are not.
