New Media Marketing Expert, Chris Brogan has this to say about getting your blog out there to the masses:

Distribution Points for Your Blog

“I currently share my blog in 3 main places: LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook. In each case, they are shared differently.

In LinkedIn, I have the WordPress for LinkedIn connection, so that imports my blog in a simple, clean way into the regular fabric of LinkedIn. If I really need traction on a post, I might share it again in my network updates, but I try to use that very sparingly. LinkedIn doesn’t really like a lot of link promotion.” Read more of Chris Brogan’s blog on Distribution.

SizzleCaster Tip:  Start a blog. I use WordPress.com. Tumblr is another popular blog platform. And they’re free (WordPress.com is free, WordPress.org requires a web designer).
