1- Blog

3- Create an online tool.

4- Participate in relevant forums.

5- Join Twitter and/or Facebook and/or LinkedIn.

6- Pitch your story.

7- Have an affiliate program.

8- Choosing the Right Social Media Networks.

11- Sell the Solution.

12- Use All Your Resources.

13- Start an affiliate program.
