I'm looking for people to review my blog. It's almost one month old and I think I've almost "got it" when it comes to the layout and the voice. Now I'm just looking for whatever constructive criticism I can get on it so that I can start off on the right foot. I'm at http://www.wayfaring-stranger.com. Any thoughts?

Hi all, I need to pick up your brains here. I am looking for best practices for planning and pitching for social media accounts. How do you, guys, contact potential clients and win business? Can you share your winning practices in wining business and convincing clients social media does work and it's something their business would benefit from? Thanks!

One of the ways I do this is to use actual case studies. Zappos is one of the bigger ones, but many other large and small companies have been documented as getting a positive ROI from SM.

Hi all, not sure if this is appropriate for this network, but I was hoping someone could let me know of a good place to learn about SEO, particularly natural/organic approach. Some books or blogs that anyone could recommend would be great.
thanks,

As for books, check out the SEOBook (at SEOBook.com) by Aaron Wall. While I do not agree with all his comments, it is an excellent book. For an introductory book, check out SEO for Dummies.

Okay, so based on the feedback, we're going to go for it. I've been plotting this in my head for the last day now, but I would really like those of you with experience in this field to guide me if I let us fall off track with this. So, here we go...this should be fun!

I would start there, and improve that, and then turn to the blog and social media. i agree that Twitter and Facebook would be good, but there are also specialized networks for musicians. In addition, what about local schools and their musical classes?

Since they work with local bands, they should use them. Often local bands have HUGE social media presence and work very hard to create a fan base. Ask musicians to link back to their site. Incoming links will push them up in the google search result rankings. And if they post the details of each event they have on their site, the bands performing should link back to that information

What guidelines do you use to decide who to follow? I don't autofollow and look at a person's stream to decide if I want to follow back. For me, I want original content. I usually stay away from users whose tweets are all retweets or links. Ads are a big turn-off for me, as are too many hashtags. Am I too picky?

Some news channels, business competitors, business associates, people I share similar interests with. Do I ever look at my followees' Tweets? Rarely. I create channels and then pick what I am in the mood for.

If I feel like people don't interact or offer value, there's not point in having them on my feed. It's made my Twitter experiences much more enjoyable.
