comment Digg vs. Reddit for promoting a blog post
I just respond to them on HBR.org and either people click on my name or on a link or two I include from my own blog or some other source. I include those links only if appropriate. Conservative approach is the best. There are plenty of a-holes who will graffiti their comment with endless links. Don't be one of those people.

comment Digg vs. Reddit for promoting a blog post
Organic growth traffic beats any traffic you may have brought in through ads etc. I played with Adwords & Facebooks ads (heck, with hundreds of $ in free credits I had, why not) and found them not as effective as good old strategy of contributing on other sites and driving traffic of people who are truly interested in my articles. Re. Twitter. I focus on writing "good stuff" and if it is really good, people retweet it, share it on FB and other places.

comment Did you use an incorporation service? What service did you use?
I hear ya, but I still think entrepreneurs are MUCH better off reading up (2-3 hour investment will pay off big time) and doing it themselves instead of letting those documents mills do the work. Most of the stuff that comes out of those shops is atrocious!
