The connections development process is like marketing program for your site/blog. Typical Marketing would consist of 4P's : Product, Price, Place and Promotion.

Product: Refers to your site/blog. This is what you want to sell, and quality of your product is
first/key factor. You need to maintain the quality by taking care of :

Define your product: Is it a web site/blog which speaks about specific topics/areas
or is it too general. Come up with clear definition of your
product. Read blogs/sites with similar topics and try to define
the differentiating factors you want to bring in.

Price: Price is not relevant when you are starting a site/blog. It will come into picture when
enough traffic starts coming to your site, you develop pagerank and technorati ranking
