1. Build your personalized Google profile today so you are visible in search.

2. Add Twitter to your LinkedIn.com account – you can do this now and it will help folks see your “mindshare” on LinkedIn.com too.

3. Be committed to sharing your actionable insight on your blog and then go DIGG it as well.

4. Claim a Twitter account if you’ve not yet done so. Twitter is not going away and it will continue to be refined for better usage and accessiblity.

5. Add your URL to Google. I recommend people submit them at least twice a year just to make sure that Google-bot is stopping by your site.

6. Believe in the impossible. Stop thinking that you don’t count on the Web, that you’re not tech-savvy enough to figure all this Web 2.0 stuff out! Use resources like Mashable.com and DailyBlogTips.com to get you on your way.

7. Be yourself on all your platforms and truly be committed to being open and authentic in your content delivery. Don’t think of the bottom line, think of empowering a community.
