Sure starting a website or a blog is a great personal brand strategy, but the people are already located on popular social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, MySpace and Ning.  Facebook has over 175 million users, while LinkedIn has over 35 million, Twitter has about 5 million and MySpace supposedly has over 200 million.  You need to setup shop on these networks by building your profile and interacting with the users there.  Aside from becoming apart of those communities, you are also gaining control over your Google results because each of these services rank high for your name.Read more at Personal Branding Blog [...] [...] Go to where the people are.

My business is fairly new, as is my online presence. Like Connie Bensen, I am learning as I go along, so reading an article like this is really very insightful and given me a lot to think about. I am really passionate about what I do as an interior designer, and am grateful for advice such as this to help get me thinking in the right direction, about how to share what enthuses me with anyone else who's interested.

If your writing is provocative and interesting, it is the brand--although of course eventually the press will still want to know who is behind it.

I would add a number 6. One needs to remove the ceiling & keep pushing the limits beyond what they dreamed possible. And my suggestion would be to use 'highly successful' instead of 'celebrity'. When I started working online I never pondered my direction. But things kept evolving as I learned. In following your advice & that of my other advisors my brand developed. It required focus & utilizing the 5 points mentioned plus believing that anything is possible. In rereading your def'n of celebrity, I guess that my goal is to successfully share my knowledge with others to help them be successful online. Thanks for getting me thinking! :) It’s excellent advice Dan. I would add a number 6. One needs to remove the ceiling & keep pushing the limits beyond what they dreamed possible.

Before I ventured online, I had never heard of the likes of Brogan, Kawasaki, Comm, Pirillo, etc. I'm glad to see these folks - including yourself - have carved out a niche and developed a strong and dedicated following.
