A Few Steps to Establishing a Consistent Social Media Practice

1. "Subscribe to 50 or more blogs in a similar space as yours, including competitors, and any industry blogs. "
 - Get connected with as many people as you can. Find out what other people are saying and get used to the type of conversations people have. 


2. "Use tagging and other metadata to improve your blog’s search features. Most newer blog software has this built in. If not, look for plugins."
 - Get noticed! Establish yourself and get people interested in checking out your blog.


3. "Look for cross-promotional opportunities for like-minded blogs in your space."
- Share with your peers. Promote your network and they will promote you back.


4. "Remember to comment on other people’s blogs frequently, and show your participation in the communities where you have presence."
- Social media is a 2-way conversation. Don't just absorb everyone's information, comment and share it!


5. "If you’re blogging, make that a home base for all your other efforts."
- Have a personal profile on the internet. With everything you read and post, make sure it is nice and organized in one place.
