Hi Friend
Your entire success online depends on how well you brand yourself.
And how good you are at promoting that brand.
It's called "personal branding."
The idea is to brand yourself.
Not a company or an idea.
But YOU.
Why?
Because there are lots of companies and lots of ideas.
But there's only ONE of you.
It's really not difficult.
In fact...
Here is where you have a lot of fun.
Set up a blog in your name.
Set up a Facebook fan page with your name.
Create Linked-In, YouTube and Twitter profiles in your name.
Write some guest articles, perhaps even eBooks.
Write them under your name.
You are the author.
Make sure that everything your write... everything that bears your good name...
gives good valuable information.
Share these articles across all the big social media platforms.
Why?
Because this is how people come to know who you are.
This is how they come to understand your unique value.
This is how to build your unique personal brand.
Also, Google will index any site or article with your name as author.
Here's the thing.
It is important to have
Your Name on all your social networks.
If all your accounts have your name on them, Google will take notice.
Google counts a link from one site to another as sort of a “vote” for that site.
Sites with the most “votes” get higher search results.
So the more places your name exists, the higher your quality and relevance will be when someone Googles your name, or searches keywords that involve you.
Now, one other thing...
It's okay to substitute "Your Name" for "Your Business Name."
So if your blog is called LegalDivas dot com, for instance...
that's the "name" you will brand instead of your personal name.
So think hard about what your identity is online...
and get it out there.
Attach valuable information to it, and spread it around the web.
That's how to start building an awesome brand that will be the cornerstone of a highly successful online blog or business.
Make it happen, my friends :)

So what are you doing to build your winning brand?
Hit the Reply.
Tell me the #1 thing you are doing to let people know who you are.
One word answers are fine.
Things like "my blog" or "my Facebook page" etc.
I'm planning a follow up series on each of the main ways people build their online brands, so I'd love to hear what YOU are doing.
Thanks for your help :)
