I've experienced some of this myself - in getting my husband's local business online. I'm following Seth Godin's guidelines - which involved including your business address on the first 'fixed' post on your blog. For this reason, I haven't used any of my own already-established contacts or 'followings' to promote him. It's been quite tricky starting from scratch. So tricky, in fact, that I've given up and ignored the whole thing (his site, his Soc. Network accts, etc) several times! This last time - he's been sitting online ignored for months! It has, itself, been quite the interesting experiment. I'm sure after the first of the year I will take it back up again and then maybe do a case study on my experiences, too.
