you're doing a written blog, sign up for Ping.fm.
8. Start Pumping out Content. Find a way to incorporate some personal stories and details into your posts. Use anecdotes from your own life to illustrate concepts. Let your personality shine so that eventually people are coming to hear you just because it's you. (go through search histories and old documents to look for topics to blog about.)
9. Tweet or post your content via Ping.fm or TubeMogul to distribute it to all your chosen platforms.
10. Go to Search.Twitter and start searching anything that may be relevant to your blog topic. Start following many of these, keeping in mind that Twitter does not allow you to follow more than 10
percent of the people who are following you, or better yet, @reply them publicly.
11. Go to Blogsearch.Google.com (or go to Google, click on "More," and choose "Blogs" from the pull-down menu.) Search all the obvious keywords. For every blog you find a mention, leave a comment and your name which should be linked to your homepage.
12. Search terms on Facebook. Click on the tab for "All Results," then click on "Pages." There are hundreds of fan pages, some have nine members, some with thousands. Join as many active ones
as possible, but make sure to keep track of them all. When you're done, hit the tab for "Groups" and do the same thing. Although I don't recommend creating your own group there's no reason you shouldn't get your name on any preexisting ones that are relevant to your passion.
13. Rinse and repeat.
Don't forget to include a list of all your social network links on your e-mail signature, letterhead, and business cards.
Make sure you have a big fat button on your site that says, "Want to Do Business with Me?" Or something along those lines.
Other call-to action buttons include:
Subscribe- allows people to opt in to getting an e-mail every time you post a blog.
Follow Me- keeps viewers appraised of your tweets and status updates.
Join My Fan Page- announces to the viewers newsfeed that they think enough of you to be a fan and helps put your site on other people's radar
Share- makes it easy for viewers to post your link on Facebook, Myspace, etc.
