Being Active on Social Media:
Posts on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and YouTube are key to making your active presence felt. It is equally important that your posts are consistent without getting over-stretched. Commenting, answering comments, hashtags and tagging yourself in posts should also be done regularly to bring about the desired results.
Mailing List:

Many times what is sent via email reaches subscribers faster than updates on social media and is the best way to alert readers.

Content:

Influencers have the power to influence people and they have a good number of followers because of the quality content they post on their websites. Getting to work together with them and building long-term relationships with them can be effective as long as your goals align with theirs.
