2. Make Relationships Not Pitches - this is really the essence of social media marketing, relationships and nurturing these relationships. This would have a tendency to open up opportunities for people

3. Stay Informed of Tools, Trends, and News - research, everything is already available on the internet

4. Find an Online Balance Between Personal and Professional - a little tricky especially for your Facebook, blogs and Twitter accounts can be separated easily though

5. Make Your Resume Standout - especially if you're looking for freelance jobs, all your blogs and web presence should really be good and stands out. This is what I need to work on, I have to push traffic to my site so please visit regularly and often.
