I didn't know October was Self Promotion Month but hey, in case you didn't know, there it is.

Not sure who comes up with which month is what but at any rate, when I learned about Self Promotion Month earlier today, I thought it was rather ironic because the act of self-promotion is not one that is too welcome on many social networks, blogs and the like. In fact, time and again we are told that no one likes a braggart online (or offline for that matter).

So how does one self-promote if they aren't "allowed" to self-promote??

BTW, this is rhetorical because I can answer my own question. I am, after all, a marketer, right?? There's always more than one way to skin a cat, correct?? LOL :)

Still ... I'm just curious to see if anyone has their own specific thoughts on how to show off without looking like we're showing off??? Is this even possible? Boasting without boasting? Tooting your own horn without tooting your own horn???

You get the idea... thoughts, anyone??
