I've searched and found nothing similar or certainly not posted recently so I thought I'd share what I'm doing to help this thing.
1) Ask your favourite online retailers if they plan to accept Bitcoin. No need to go into a spiel - many may be considering it already but the volatility might be a negative factor. See this is a simple registering of interest.
Done.
2) Tell your friends about Bitcoin. Don't be preachy, don't be techy. Just link to a plain English, non-biased (yeah I know!) explanation of what Bitcoin is and what it has done recently. Perhaps drop in the caveats "What goes up.." Past performance is not an indicator..." etc.
Done.
3) Get a friend of family member to buy 1 BTC - damn this now reads like a pyramid scheme. Perhaps just ask, don't force. Now all my family know about it. Even my Mum asked "Where can I buy them?" <- Bears you may now reply using the word bubble or crash as you see fit.
Cannot be done. I feel so sorry for everyone I "offered the red pill" to around me.
My Bitcoin news posting on social networking mostly tends to fall on deaf ears but a couple of the more smart friends have asked me to explain more, which I have done. Perhaps in a year or two I will retroactively become their best friend ever when they come to cash in their pet Bitcoin

Done, but very much deaf ears, I cant even spark up a debate.
Anything else anyone would like to add?
Offer goods or services for bitcoin, tell your employer that you wouldn't mind accepting part of your salary in bitcoin.
