Branding Yourself Online
08-27-10
Better reserve your personal name on Facebook, My Space, Twitter and as many other social networks as you can. If you haven’t registered a domain using your name, you better do it fast. Why?
First, it makes it easier for your family and friends to locate you online. It also is a way to establish a beach-head for your presence online.
Second, branding is big business and becoming even a semi-celebrity can make you money. The more famous you become the more money you can earn. The internet is able to generate revenue for you – just by being you.
Third, the more you cross pollinate the social media’s, the faster people will become aware you exist. So start making a presence online as soon as possible if you intend to sell something internationally (services or products).
If you are lucky like me that there is only one person on this planet with your name, it makes it easier to stand out from the billions of others online. However, when you are like Stephen King, you need to do something to establish yourself from the other Kings of the world.
Social media is one method to get the world’s attention and keep it.
