    - Create your blog. Write about your wins, losses, bad beats, family attitude towards poker, etc. etc. Put banners in your blog.
    - Advertise your blog in message boards (please do not advertise your links in forums, this is considered spamming and is frowned upon). Try these free blogging sites: www.blogger.com, www.tblog.com, and www.livejournal.com
    - Help your friends open their accounts (Editor's personal experience: At a party everyone was watching someone play online poker, giving advice, and helped the player win $250.) Get some drinks and snacks and invite your friends over when you're playing in a big tournament.
