Thanks to Parts I & II in this series, you should already understand the basics of setting up your network and finding contacts.
As with crepes, consistency is key.
Now that your network is ready to go you’ll need to make yourself a prominent entity to your contacts/friends/followers. Becoming a staple stop in anyone’s daily web surfing ritual is easier and less intimidating than you might imagine. The key is simple. Post fun, helpful, interesting or otherwise readable content regularly. That’s it.
You want people to know and even look forward to your routine (or routinely sporadic) posts and status updates. If you drop off the face of the earth for a few days, weeks or months every now and then, you can be pretty sure that people will lose interest in what you have to say. One program in particular that makes being consistent very easy is called Zannel. With Zannel you can update your myspace, flickr, facebook, twitter, youtube and even wordpress all at once. Simply sign up at Zannel.com. After you’re all signed up, look to the right of the page for a module called “connections”. Click “edit all” and begin linking your zannel to all your various social networking profiles. I’d post a step by step guide here, but it’s pretty self explanatory. When you’re finished, update your status on Zannel and watch as it sends your update through all your other networking tools.
So keep on posting! And while you’re at it, follow us on twitter and see what we’re up to.
