I would add, have your own name as a domain. I took this for granted but many people have not grabbed their own name. You can point your domain to the site of your choice, even a free wordpress.com blog. Posterus is another nice option, point yourname.com there; posterus allows you to post to multiple locations including facebook, blogs and more. Kellye, these are great tips!

As you may know, social media is not an arena where "if you build it, they will come." First, you have to use traditional networking techniques (email, face-to-face, etc.) to make people aware of you and your online presence. In addition, to gain attention from those who didn't know you previously, it's critical that you showcase your abilities by demonstrating thought leadership wherever you are online. Regarding testimonials, the LinkedIn Recommendations feature is an excellent way to solicit these. You can send a request to your top contacts through the site (be sure to personalize it). Hope this helps! Hi Jackie- Your questions go beyond the scope of this post, but this is an opportunity to bring up an important point.
