In the past few days I have watched the tweet-stream roll with mention after mention after mention of the same post. Personally when the mentions come from a variety of people then it makes me curious about the post. When the author is doing all the promotion, it gives me pause.
Is it boasting or self-promotion?
It really depends on the point of view of the reader. The reader may feel like the person with nothing but posts about their blogs and websites is boasting. Another reader may be very much aware that the only person who is guaranteed to advertise for you is you.
If you have been online for some time you probably have friends who are also online and writing blogs. You may be friends with each other on various other social media formats as well. Traditional advertising to these friends might not work. We have learned to ignore the banner ads and other common advertising formats so reaching out on Twitter and Facebook is a new way to reach those people.
What if I don’t want to self-promote?
Unfortunately I have not been into self-promotion. While I have an affiliate program and offer ways to help people promote my business, people get busy doing their own promotions and make promises that are not kept. Therefore if you do not promote your business, your products or services then chances are good that no one will know about them.

With that in mind today I am running a bit of self promotion. The Rockstar Guide Book to WordPress has helped many people get WordPress installed and set up. If you need information about how to get started online before you create a WordPress website then the Rockstar Education 101 is the way to go.
Finally there is the Coaching. I am running a crazy special, you get the Rockstar Education 101 coaching as long as the class lasts. It lasts just over 3 months so you get just over 3 months of coaching for just $425. (consider this, I get hired to fix problems
But if you are in the first 10 people to grab that awesome coaching you get Rockstar Education WordPress Growth as well it is releasing in September!
For a complete insanity the first 5 coaching students not only get the Rockstar Education 101, with just over 3 months of coaching, the Rockstar Education WordPress Growth and …
coaching to last as long as WordPress Growth! So over 6 months of coaching for just $425.
