Give credit where credit is due from "summary" of Show Your Work! by Austin Kleon
When you share the work of others, make sure you give credit where it's due. It's about being generous and saying thank you. It's not just about being fair; it's also about being smart. When you properly attribute work, you show respect and build relationships. It's a way to network and connect with others in your field. When you share something you love, introduce it properly. Don't just drop a link. Add your commentary and explain why you found it interesting. When you share work, you become a connector and a curator. You're not just sharing for the sake of sharing; you're adding value and context. You're guiding your audience and helping them discover new things.
Always link back to the original source. It's not just a courtesy; it's also a way to provide more information to your audience. When you link back, you're giving them a chance to dive deeper into the topic. It's a way to show that you've done your homework and that you respect the work you're sharing.
Remember that sharing is a two-way street. When you credit others, they're more likely to credit you in return. It's a cycle of generosity and reciprocity. By giving credit where it's due, you're building a community of sharing and collaboration. You're creating a culture of respect and appreciation. You're showing that you value the work of others and that you're part of a larger creative ecosystem.
