How Do You Promote Yourself?
Many bloggers use their blogs to promote themselves, their work, or something else important to them. On top of that, may use social networks to promote their blog which in turn promotes the original product/person/etc.
The Social Arrow is holding a Social Media Marketing Contest to determine just what people are using these days to get the word out. The contest is a way to get ideas out their to other bloggers and businesses about how to best promote themselves.
I have used several different outlets over the last 21 months or so that my blog has existed. Some have come and gone and others I have stuck with. I have used this blog along with other outlets to help promote my photo website and I don't think I would have the success I have had without using all the resources I have.
In no particular order, here are the networking outlets I am currently using that have greatly increased both traffic to this blog and my other site:
As you can see, there is not just one place that can lead to success. For me, using all these resources, as well as friends and word of mouth, I have been able to promote myself and my budding photography site to a greater extent than I thought possible. As a result, my readership of this blog has increased and I've made many more friends.
Even if you are not using a blog or site to promote yourself, product, or service for monetary gain, many social networks are great for increasing traffic to your personal blogs.
What social networking resources do you use?

I'm not very good with the whole social networking thing... I use Digg occasionally and other people are nice enough to use their accounts on del.i.cious (or whatever it is) and such to promote my stuff.
What works best for me is pretty much just blog surfing. Comment here and there. Become friends with people. Yada yada.
I belong to a few social networking sites, facebook being my favorite. But I don't advertise my blog on any of them. My preference is to try to separate my IRL identity with what I post.
...although many people who read my blog know my IRL.
After I had opened this blog, I'd like to share my exprience with FreeViral. This FreeViral is one of the methods to increase traffic to your sites or blogs. Please note that this is just one of the ways to learn, so don't forget to increase your knowledge about SEO.
