1) Yahoo Answers.

2) Myspace.com

By these I mean the two big ones  Facebook and MySpace. There are others, but these are the two main ones where you’re more likely to meet more people. I was very skeptical of these types of websites as I only thought they were for teenagers and middle aged men looking to hook up. I took the chance of creating a Facebook profile and have met some great people, found new clients, and forming strong partnerships.

3) Yahoo Groups

4) Stumbleupon.com

Slideshare.net
Upload and share your PowerPoint & Keynote presentations, Word & PDF documents on SlideShare. Add audio to make a webinar. Capture leads with your presentations.

5) Forums
The biggest drawback for me was time. I just didn’t have the time to look around several different forums waiting for a chance to jump into the conversation. And just like leaving comments on blogs, once I started, I changed my mind.

I now make time each week for promoting my websites as the traffic generated is well worth it.

6) Craigslist.org

Once you get the hang of blogging you can then move to writing guest posts on another compatible blog. I wouldn’t help you at all to write a post on the benefits of protein powder if your website deals with car batteries. But, if you wrote a post on fly fishing in Maine and had the opportunity to post it on a fishing blog, outdoors blog, travel blog, etc… you would gain in both traffic and in your own personal brand.

There are a few rules to how to be a guest blogger. For instance you don’t just send in blog posts to someone like they are your own personal article directory. You wait for an opportunity to submit one.

I really like Twitter. It’s an amazing social marketing tool that lets you say what you’re doing to the people who are following you. Kind of like subscribers to your email newsletter. The kick is that you only have 140 characters to do it. The beauty of it is in the immense usefulness of it.

With Twitter you must have a balance of what you’re tweeting. What I mean is you don’t just use it as a means to drive traffic by posting your URL all the time. It helps if you actually do let people know what it is you’re doing. Going to Starbucks tweet it. Mowing your lawn -tweet it. Writing a new blog post -tweet it. Traveling to LA -tweet it. Landed a new client- tweet it. Get the idea??
