My strategy is to develop my own products. I am just in the process of launching my coaching service and seeing how that goes. I still help people all the time and expect nothing in return.

I do it mainly because it feels good, so in that regard I am kind of selfish. When you just help and hang out with people you'll notice that they naturally want to help you back. It's weird but I guess it's human nature (at least if you're awesome).

Some people want free and some people want more, it's all good.
