I do a lot of speaking and writing to help people in your exact position. There is a lot of free information that can help you on my blog including a free e-book on SEO. Everything I write is very easy on the geek speak so you won't need a Ph.D. to understand any of it and there is a ton of good advice on starting a blog including what to write about and why you SHOULD NOT use a service like Blogspot but instead host your own Wordpress blog. Hope this helps!

Branding yourself is a important part in promoting your business, but there is so much more to it than that.

Using tumblr and google plus can get you some exposure if you know how to use them correctly, but they certainly will not be enough to get the kind of exposure and traffic you may want or need.



And when it comes to blogging, if it is to promote your business site, then blog about that. Be sure to provide great content educating, explaining benefits, and solving common problems your potential customer may have.

Here an excellent resource for you to begin with and it is totally free...

I studied Digital Marketing and we were recommended to use Tumbler. It is SEO friendly.

I would suggest blogging about your business, you can post about anything interesting that has taken place, for example a new product that you have introduced. That way they will get to know you and your business. Also I recommend adding photos, videos and links to your posts to make them more interesting.

It might take a little while for people to start following you, so you need to really make the posts interesting to grab peoples attention.
