Online Visibility: If You Want To Be Found You Have To Be Seen
Repost: Original article by: weblogbetter
Sounds pretty obvious, doesn’t it?!
However, think about this …
Given your particular niche and the keywords people are likely to use to search for information about your expertise, where will your target audience “see” you online?
Many entrepreneurs who market their products and services online follow a similar online visibility “flow”.
And the flow goes something like this …
1.) They start a blog and produce consistent, valuable content.
2.) They go on to set up accounts and profiles on social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, You Tube, and Google+ with the goal of starting conversations and sparking interest.
3.) They might choose to add some article marketing to the mix and direct readers back to their blog or send them off to a landing page via their author/resource box.
4.) They wait for the magic to happen!
But is that going to do the trick? Is that going to be enough to help online marketers be seen by potential customers or clients online?
Only YOU can be the judge.
Are you following a similar flow and getting the positive results you desire?
If not, here are some tips to …

Denise Wakeman, Online Visibility Expert, Says …
“If you want to have a successful business online in this day and age, you need to be willing to be out there. You need to be willing to put your business, your personality, everything you want to do to serve people out there by participating, connecting and sharing. Otherwise few people will find you and it will be difficult to have a successful business.”
Bonus Visibility Tip
When you comment on blog posts or articles, “Like”, Tweet, +1, Stumble, Digg, share a video or podcast, etc., not only are you acknowledging and helping your fellow entrepreneurs, you are increasing your own visibility and putting yourself in front of a new audience.
