ParticipantIf your not sure where to start, I suggest working things out backwards and on paper. You can even type and print it out if you hate writing things by hand. This will help you develop your ideas into a larger scale. I find keeping everything in my head makes it difficult to flesh out and plan ahead.
Things to think about:
What do you want to achieve by marketing and promoting on social media and networking sites? If getting your name out there is part of it, what is the exact number of followers (per platform) you would need to consider your name as “out there?” Do you even need a Twitter account? The goal here, is to (like Scott pointed out) figure out what you want (since you aren’t looking to hire a professional). Be specific. “Getting your name out there” is an example of not being specific enough. That might be a reason as to why you don’t know how to move forward.How can you change or improve the way your social media profiles backlink? Do they all point to where you want your followers to go? Where is your “hub” point? Your blog, Facebook, or something else?
Hopefully, this will steer you in a direction, as there is no right or perfect way to do things.

ParticipantSid, I just want to make a note about your podcast search results:
DDJT is able to do this because of it’s domain authority. This means that DDJT is seen as an authority of the content it covers. Domain authority is basically how search engines predict the ranking strength of an entire domain or subdomain. In DDJT’s case, their website has loads of valuable organic (human sounding) content and has been registered since 2010.
The likelihood of Google considering your newer (present) content (ie. your podcast) to be a greater authority than DDJT’s content (that unfortunately includes your posts here) is not high. That isn’t to say it won’t change over time, of course depending on your ability to promote and market yourself properly. So if you want to work at it, it is possible to surpass this obstacle.
If you wanted to invest time in reading up on SEO, I suggest this: http://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo beginner’s guide.
Although, I understand your frustration with not being the first result for “Sonically Pure,” if you search “sonically pure podcast” instead, your Mixcloud tag is the top result. Good luck! I hope I was able to help, even a little.

ParticipantJust wondering, is this still an issue?

ParticipantI found the web page where I can edit the info, but I can’t get past the “ERROR: Please enter an e-mail address.” for which there is currently no email text input to complete the query requirement. May I suggest toggling the email address requirement to fix the issue? I apologize if I’m out of line…
