Okay, so you want to 'be seen' out there in the vast universe of the internet ... but how?  Sure, you can create a fanpage with amazing posts ... you can create a website and plaster ads on it .... you can blog the greatest article ever seen by mankind, you can tweet your brains out.
If you don't have an audience, all is for naught.  Best advice, DON'T try to take it all on at once.  Start with your blog/website (how about 2 free websites with free hosting that YOU create anyway YOU decide?) ... look at your website/blog with the eyes of your targeted audience.  What do THEY want and need?  Does your site have a professional or niche-related appearance, or does it resemble a hodgepodge of poorly placed ads winking and blinking everywhere?  Are your articles informative, or just a mangled mess of unrelated thoughts and sentences?

Fine, your website/blog is perfect and ready to be seen by the world ... but how?  This is when social media is your greatest asset.  Join Facebook groups related to your 'niche', same goes for Twitter.  Perhaps you could toss in Pinterest, LinkedIn, Tumblr; join those accounts frequented by your target audience.  For example, you want to promote mobile phones/mobile apps/cell phone accessories ...where would your targeted audience frequent the most?  Snapchat/Facebook/Twitter comes to mind.  If you could use help, feel free to check out this fantastic platform.  

Don't jump in there advertising; begin like most people do.  Just be yourself, interact with others and offer advice and opinions.  Make relevant posts, like and comment on other posts, friend/associate with others.  Perhaps you have a relevant article on your site...make reference to that post and give the link to your article.   Have your 'opt-in' form in place on your site and start building that all important 'list'.

Yes, this is an extremely simplified and generalized article.  Yes, there is more to it than meets the eye (excuse the cliche usage).  Yes, it is entirely attainable with proper work and time spent on quality; but I promise you one thing ... nothing is accomplished by procrastination or any other form of negative action.  Doing nothing at all and watching others succeed, remaining forever 'wishing' it could be you; sorry, folks, that just is NOT me.

Yes, I want success as badly as anyone else.  Yes, I realized that it would not magically happen.  Yes, I took and continue to take all training and subsequent actions necessary so that I WILL realize my success!  What about you?
