The Secret to Personal Branding!

Blogging Strategies Revealed

People Don’t Join Businesses, They Join People. I can not say that strongly enough. . Becoming a leader in on-line marketing requires lots of personal branding. I have a mentor by the name of Vince Reed. I joined NetDivvy, my current marketing company, because I believe Vince is one of the most honest and caring people on the internet. I only want to associate with people like that. So what does that have to do with blogging you ask? Blogging is a perfect way to brand yourself to other. To let others know that you care about them and want to help them. It is a personal journal of what you think about a subject, product or life in general. You are personally branding yourself to people. Teaching others how to market, and your strategies; is all part of letting people know what makes you as a marketer tick. Blogging is the perfect way to do that.

So where do you blog. Here are a few sites to consider:
1. Blooger.com
2. Word Press.org
3. Squidoo.com
4. Hubpages.com
5. Omegi.com

They are all excellent sites and some like Omegi will actually set up your blog site for you for a fee.

Whichever one you choose, there are some rules you need to follow in your blogging.

• First and foremost is to be consistent. Try to write an article at least once a week. Twice a week would be better, but make sure you do it regularly.

• Only offer value. Have something worthwhile to say. You can tell people to do things, give training tips and your mindset on what ever business or profession you are in. Hi-light a company or a person and give an honest analyst of what they are doing.

• Stay positive, and do not blast other companies or people, even though they may need it. If you can’t say something good; don’t say anything at all.

• Use keywords to create backlinks to your blog and the search engines. I use a free program called OnlyWire which broadcasts my blog to all the social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook. This helps with back linking.

• Make sure you check your spelling and grammar so you don’t look uneducated. I am blessed to have a proof reading wife who keeps me straight.

Blogging is fun and can really help you with your personal branding so get started today I will read you on the internet! Until next time have a wonderful week!
