Get your blog ready for sharing to a wider audience:

• Make sure you edit the About Me post from the beginning of the quarter. Make sure you are comfortable with everything in it.
• Change your URL if you want it to be more consistent with your message/slogan. Share the new URL with me.

Create your Twitter account, Facebook page and, if it is one of your channels, a YouTube account.

• Complete the profile
• Update a picture/logo
• Include your blog’s URL (make sure you update this if you change your blog URL, as specified above)

Begin Building a Community

• Follow 10 relevant accounts on Twitter. Engage them with mentions and tweets.
• Employ the strategies listed on 10 Great Ways To Improve Your Facebook Page’s Popularity to generate page likes. Do this organically; don’t just beg friends via your personal Facebook profile. Boo, lame.
• Post at least 3 Twitter and Facebook status updates before class on Tuesday. Respond to mentions, talk to followers, have conversations.
