What Red Bull is doing is a great example of good modern business sense. What's difficult is doing it on a bootstrapped budget. Yes, all of the blogging, social media, and SEO can be done by the business owner, however if your business doesn't directly involve these outlets, DIY-ing it can sap time from growing the nuts and bolts of your core business. This, of course, provides a great opportunity for other businesses who provide such services.

In any case, it's a great strategy. Thanks for the post!
