Just wanted to underline the networking/community element of one’s online personal brand – I think it is integral to have a committed following who understands the value of who you are, what you are about and are able to explain it to others. Having a consistent message on all the social medias is a good first step, and when connecting with others, be sure to let them know what you do.

Cheers!

Creating your own website is the step I took, at Mysalesrep.com. It was super easy, my customers love it, and I now have a forum where I control the content as a Sales Professional!

We try a lot of SEO, we participate in some capacity via our own corporate blogs and founders’ blogs. So far the traffic is very organic and focused. I do believe in relationship building, especially through affiliate marketing programs. (or even the old school link exchange?)

An image you acquire by years of heard work, painstaking reputation building — all based on self-less contribution to the community in one way or the other.

I totally agree with your points on personal branding. I, however, wouldn’t care much about my family, relatives and friends thinking about what I post on the Internet primarily because:

1. They have no idea what they blabber about.
2. They can nod their heads and lend you a shoulder, but they still don’t know what a blog post is.
3. Most people aren’t you; and you can’t be like most people. Entrepreneurs and self-employed people usually work in solitude and not in cubicles. Entrepreneurs think different. And finally…
4. There is no way I will get back to work or look for employers. I will look for clients Instead :)

Please keep up the great posts on your blog. It is close to becoming the default page on my browser :)

It’s the foundation on creating a well rounded brand. Build trust to create brand equity while limiting self promotion. If you have a strong brand, people in need of your expertise will seek you out.
Thanks for the post.
