     Be connected offline: Your business cards are vital tools to promote your brand. Show your full name, address, website, email address, and contact numbers. Write articles for newspapers and magazines to spread your brand around.

If you don’t get noticed, you don’t have anything. You just have to be noticed, but the art is in getting noticed naturally, without screaming or without tricks.
