This is interesting because when we talk about branding in a corporate setting we often go through a process of understanding the truth about what the organization is and what it does. This is quite similar to your characterization for personal branding. It can be challenging to boil it down to the essential, most relevant elements, but the clarity that comes with it is priceless.

Great post Georgina,

I'm still trying to come to terms with my twitter, FB and blog. I love writing my blog and have had some good comments, but piecing all together as one coherant message is harder than it looks. Thanks for the post - I'll be sure to follow. (Whoever tells the best stories goes home with the most marbles!)

A lot of what is above seems very obvious but I really think it is all valid. If you have no personal brand yet take all of the things in this article into consideration. people like to deal with folks they can relate to and this is a great way to show case who "you" are.

Timely post. I've been posting daily on my own personal website since the birth of 2010.

Today I endured a testing Epiphany. I realised that I'd been going about it completely the wrong way. Since I don't have a personal brand per se - or rather, I'm trying to build one - I figured I should have a site that people would visit based on the skill/discipline contained within the URL, rather than a website bearing my name.

Therefore as of damn near immediately I'm migrating most of my efforts to notyouraveragewriter.com since that best represents my status as a creative wordsmith. I hope this will help me build the brand I seek and I'll also be using your characterisation tips to help me steal ahead of the competition.

Thanks so much, Georgina!

Great ideas about how to use storytelling when building your personal brand online. A great place to start is with your brand bio. A bio really comes to life with short character stories, rather than just a list of experiences and credentials.

Thank you, Georgina!
