Had never heard of Entrecard before, but giving it a whirl!

Anyway, these are all great ideas. I think one of the important things about all these is to have Google Analytics (or whatever) to identify where the traffic to your site is coming from. For example: I personally have found that Twitter, when I pay attention to it, can be a pretty significant traffic driver. It's not *totally* effortless or thoughtless, but relatively quick bang for the buck.

Happy Friday!

There's the key, Paula -- IF the page is complete. I agree. That works very well.

Nice idea, Damaria! Have you seen any increase in business since doing so?

I'm listed in a number of online directories. I also use a signature file to market my services. The information in it includes a link to my blog, where I have a biography with links to the various projects I've worked on and samples of my published works.

I've been experimenting with signature lines for work e-mail. Including my LinkedIn profile page is a nice alternative to attaching a résumé – if your profile is complete, it's sort of like a cross between a résumé and a CV, plus recommendations (if you have them).
