Advertising You
As we’ve mentioned many times before, if you’re going to make it online then people need to know who you are. You could be the world’s greatest photographer, but if you don’t have a website then you’re missing out on a world of possibilities.
So how do you advertise yourself on the internet? Here are three methods that I believe are extremely successful:
- Blogging: By blogging, you interact with people that are interested in the same things as yourself. But go beyond simply writing on your own blog…interact on other people’s blogs as well.
- Message Boards: Believe it or not, message boards aren’t only for computer nerds and World of Warcraft fans. There are many message boards out there that are used by professionals to discuss their industry. Get involved in these and you’ll get connected quickly. Just don’t be too pushy with your sales pitch…or you’ll risk being called a troll or a newb.
- Articles: I know, I know…we’ve said it a hundred times before, but it’s true! Articles are the best way to get your name out there and prove you know what you’re talking about.
Those are the basics. After that, you’ll eventually need to look into advertising your brand or services, but I highly recommend you advertise yourself as an expert before you move on to those steps.
