Do You Promote Your Presence?

Writing by Brick Marketing on Tuesday, 8 of July , 2008 at 11:06 am

A trend that is slowly growing is the self promotion of profiles on the various social networking and social bookmarking sites. In fact self promotion of any online activity.

Take a look at some of the blogs around you. You will see in one of the sidebars a list that probably reads something like - ‘Find Me On’ with a list of links to all their online profiles. Is it a good idea.

From my perspective it definitely is. If I come across your site, whether it is a blog or standard website, or even a profile on Facebook or Myspace, see that you are also on Bebo may encourage me to add you to my Bebo circle of friends - particularly if Bebo was my primary networking ‘hang-out’.

By promoting your presence, you can increase your networking base. You can also decrease your workload. Using the above example, if we both use the same social site, say Bebo, then we don’t need to be engaging with each other on any of the other sites.

Tell me where you are and I may just add you to my list of contacts if I like what I am reading. If you don’t tell me where you are, I wont even know you exist in any of these social sites. Never miss an opportunity to promote yourself.
