If you belong to social sites that have a blog section on your profile - just give a brief description of your article & lead them to your blog to read all of the details.
I run my blog on TE's & have new users & people that bookmark it. They have gotten tired of seeing the same thing over & over so they see a new post & read it. This is how I have gotten new customers for my business also. They may not be interested in building a business (they already have one) but, they want the product. I have also found people that share some of the same rants or thoughts.
I do the TE's when I am tired & do not feel like thinking. I can also click while I watch a NASCAR race or other show. If I have a podcast I want to listen to then I pull up a few tabs & click while I listen. They also help get your Alexa rank for hits that is BIG if you have your own domain & need to get it found.
Comment on other blogs!!!!!
The only problem with this is I do not comment on wordpress or blogspot because I can not leave a link to my blog. They only link your name to your profile at that community.
