Whenever you are starting something new like a business or a blog, networking is one of the most important things you can do to get customers or readers. With the Web 2.0 there is an easier way to do this and it's called Social Media.
Networking is important because it gets your name and your business or blog out there into the public. Ultimately the public is who you are looking to connect with anyways, and social media sites make it incredibly easy.
If there is something that is of interest to you, than there is most likely a social media site that will allow you to friend others that are interested in it too. Tyler at SMM Guru wrote a post last month entitled Top 198 Social Media Sites By Niche. It's an amazing list that has topics ranging from sports to health to pets and tons of other topics.
These social media sites will allow you to connect with other people with the same interests as you and also get your "brand" noticed. Your visitors will be able to connect directly with you. I'm currently in the process of joining a bunch of them and so you will be able to connect with me through them.
