  • Know your audience and where they go.
  • Have your own base.
  • Bring people back to your home base.

  • Don’t forget Pinterest and Instagram. But you need visual content.
  • Presentations can go to Slideshare.net e.g. http://2.healthca.mp/14zxr0
  • Develop a content calendar to work out a schedule for publishing.
