The Internet is quickly becoming the de facto authoritative source of record. It is your resume, your reputation, your credibility, and your performance. If you are interested in future success you had better own your namespace. That begins with personal branding and I am going to show you how to get a solid foundation with a 5 day roadmap.
Day 1: Build a Website (This is NOT hard)
This is your home–it is where people can find the authentic you. This is your safe place and all personal branding roads should lead back to this safe place.
I recommend this be your personal domain name. Hopefully, it can simply be your name. Start with .com, .org, .net. If necessary you can drift into .name and .me, but I suggest those only as reinforcing redirected domains if possible.
You can also effectively use a clever brand name you make up, but they may take a little longer and more creativity to build personal brand around.
My second recommendation for the home base is that it be a blog. It is fast, simple, versatile, and Google loves them. Remember our objectives are immediate search results.
Day 2: Build Your PR Engine
There are lots of ways to do this, but my recommendation is keep it simple and focused. Sign-up and complete your profile for the following services:
I will tell you how to use each in a moment. All you need to do now is sign-up and have your Web URL in each pointed at your home base.
