Thank you for this post. I agree. The only way to get attention in a busy marketplace is to create relevant relationships. The only difficult thing is managing all of them!
I love Twitter! I have learned so much from the links available in people's posts that introduce you to all sorts of great sites. I highly recommend it to my clients.
Best wishes,
Kathy
Out of the entire list, I would narrow it down to blogging, video marketing, search engine optimization or SEO, and email marketing. I think these give you a good mix of traffic and content generation which is the key.
