Great post! i agree with “social media expert” the more you interact and engage your contacts the better!

Contests are also another great way to build traffic but i think it should be done in combination with 1 or 2 of the things you mentioned in your post!

ps. Your Facebook link doesn’t seem to translate you blog post its just showing a bunch of code.. Thought you might want to know

My opinion is if you just trying to find ways to market your business in social media networks you might not get the results you expected. Social media is about people connecting, sharing, talking to one another. So the goal is to initiate and participate to the conversation, offer something like tips/advices related to your domain of expertise. Soon enough you will stand-out and achieve your goals.

Perfect way to get started….I especially agree with the order in which you outlined.
1. Helpful Tips – Helps to earn credibility and be viewed as industry expert.
2. Blog Posts – Great way to start creating a community where interested parties can interact.
3. Promotions – Great way to capture that low hanging fruit, but works best when you’ve built credibility and a community.

I see companies all to often start with #3 without taking advantage of 1 & 2.
