1. Start blogging and make sure that blog is integrated into your corporate or business Web site. Search engines like Google LOVE content! So keep yours fresh and consistent to give your online presence (and ranking) a boost. You hear a lot about keeping blog posts short and sweet. In actuality, you offer your visitors so much more when you put some meat into your writing. Plus search engines like pages with at least 300 words. So don’t be afraid to expand your posts. You’re doing everyone a favor!
2. Sign-up for Twitter, set up your profile and search for like-minded entrepreneurs or potential customers. Start following them. You might even consider sending them a “Hello, great to connect with you here on Twitter” message if they start following you as well. Make sure to post an update every single day.
3. Read and comment on other blogs. Don’t spam these sites! Make sure you are really reading what these folks are writing and add something of value in your comments. Always include your Web site or blog URL.
4. Reach out to people in your existing network – not necessarily former or existing clients – but colleagues. Let them know what you are up to and ask how business has been for them. Quite often, potential opportunities emerge from conversations such as these.
5. Join LinkedIn and start networking. Start by searching for people you might know and then send invitations to those you do, but who have not yet signed up for this service. Answer some questions related to your field and establish yourself as an expert.
6. Create a short video related to the services or products you offer and upload it to Viddiction, YouTube and others. This might be a how-to video or even a video brochure.
7. Have some t-shirts and hats done up with your business logo on them and send them to your best customers or clients. The quickest and most affordable way to do this is through CafePress.
8. Exchange links with other businesses and blogs. Send them a quick message and ask if they would be interested. Typically you should look for those offering products and services that compliment your business.
9. Add a contact form to your Web site or blog. People should be able to get in touch with you quickly and easily.
10. Join an advertising network like AdBrite, Google AdSense or Casale Media, among others. You’d be surprised how beneficial these services can be.
