Giving honor to other authors will make you look good to your readers because you thought enough of them to share. Making friends can be great for your business.
- Gain worthy opponents. Understand that every opposing view can be a good thing. They open up options and avenues of new ideas, thoughts and viewpoints that you otherwise may not have considered. This could be an added bonus for your readers. Remember, readers love controversy and you can learn how to successfully agree to disagree without confrontation.
