I wouldn't be concerned about getting people to your site/blog. Social media isn't about getting traffic, it's about building relationships.
What are you doing out there? What social networks are you involved in? What blogs do you read? Interact with people, leave comments, be helpful by providing tips or links. Overall, spend 2-3X more reading & commenting on other people's stuff than you do writing your own. Over time, this will get people naturally interested in what you have to say.
Social media is a karmic business, and you have to give in order to receive. Share you knowledge and information freely. Create an ebook with valuable tips and give it away on your blog or site. Go out of your way to connect people and to show you're willing to give something before you get something.
I'm sure there are many more suggestions that you have, as a smart social media practitioner, student or professional. What are they?
