Up-Kissing

This is a term I made up for climbing the social media ladder. Use the power of your network to get the attention of someone higher up than you. What are people interested in? People want more fame, more popularity. Wherever possible, share your network juice with others who are higher-up than you. This will surely get their attention. This will enact the Law of Reciprocity.

Interview others.

9. Media Attention / PR

One of the beautiful things about social media is that it allows us to reach everyone and anyone. This includes the press. Try to set aside a little time each week to focus on the press. Think like a Public Relations expert. Your goal is to get your brand message out to your niche target market.

- Tracking reporters, editors & publications on Twitter.
