1. Value – Don’t “Market”; Create and Publish Content that Adds Value - Assist, Inform, Entertain.
2. Ethics – Never Break or Even Bend “The Rules”… Most Importantly Understand Them, By Community and By Site.
3. Transparency – We Are Who We Say We Are at All Times. Personal and Professional Openness, and Clear Association with the Brand.
4. Authenticity – Consistent, Passionate Commitment to Your Market and Customers (not just your Brand).
5. Focus – Do The Right Things Well… And Let the Community Handle the Rest…
