Brand Yourself – (from Twitter this morning in my inbox.)
Brand Yourself for business owners is a great headline for an email and this article contains a lot of simple digestible facts that will help you on your journey. Whether you are an entrepreneur or business owner or even have a job, this article will help you gain clarity.
Headline: “You already have a personal brand – see how to refine it”
For those of you who missed the email!
“We want to help you get more out of Twitter, and Twitter Ads amplifies your efforts.
Personal branding can benefit you as well as the company you work for. Solidifying your personal message can attract new clients and grow your business.
Here are a few tips on personal branding:
The real you
Twitter is a place for conversation. Don’t be afraid to use your own voice and opinions to express yourself and share ideas.
Support your business
Promoting news about your company alongside your own personal brand expands both your and your company’s influence. Such promotions may help you gain clout at industry events and even attract job offers from competitors.
Refine your profile.
Polishing your Twitter profile is a great branding exercise to start with. Pick a bold header image, a clear profile photo, and select a pinned Tweet representative of what’s most important to you. Also, include a link to a personal website in your bio.
Yes you can brand yourself and promote your personal brand on twitter
The Link takes you through to a blog that tells you it is important, the article is well written.
It tells you that Personal branding is just like regular branding (whatever that is?) and it is something that is often out of your control! (I disagree with this last statement, everything is within your control!)
It does cover these valuable points, which I discuss all the time with people.
