Personal Branding Pitch Thanksgiving Contest

  • 1 min read

As a brand, you need to learn how to sell yourself persuasively and with haste, when communicating your message to others.  Aside from being in an elevatar, you may have to pitch yourself during an interview, at a networking event, to someone at work and in other situations, possibly concerning the media.  If you fail to do this, both accurately and consistently, you will miss opportunities and your brand image will sink.

Contest rules

You have no more than three sentences to promote your personal brand.  This means you can’t talk about your personal life, unless of course there is a major crossover.  Within three sentences, you should convince me and my readers who you are, what you do and what you can do for us.  To enter this contest, all you have to do is write your pitch in the comments section of this post.

Example:  My name is Dan and I’m a personal branding expert, as well as the author of an upcoming book, entitled “Me 2.0: Build a Powerful Brand to Achieve Career Success.”  My entire career revolves around my mastery of personal branding, starting with my award winning blog, a magazine that I publish, podcasts that I produce, an award I give out, and I speak to various audiences.  I’m also a social media specialist at EMC Corporation, involved in their external social media communication program and have been with them for over two years.

Prizes

Marcus Buckingham is giving away five free copies of his new book, “The Truth About You,” to the contest winners!  Marcus is famous for selling millions of books, and making millions of dollars on speaking all over the world.  He’s even been on Oprah and P Diddy’s show.  His new book includes a DVD and is valued at $29.99 a piece.  I’ve already read it and watched the video and enjoyed it.  I even blogged about it not too long ago.

Good luck and happy thanksgiving!

New York’s new AI advertising law took effect June 9 and requires a “conspicuous” disclosure any time a synthetic AI performer appears in an ad, with fines of $1,000 for a first violation and $5,000 for each one after that, and while the law spares publishers who merely host the ad, any blog or brand actually producing AI-generated spokespeople for a New York audience is squarely on the hook.

There’s a certain kind of person who, somewhere in their 60s, quietly stops justifying their choices in conversation — not because they’ve stopped caring, but because explaining yourself loses its urgency when you finally like who you are

Psychology says the “bigger wedding, bigger divorce risk” finding everyone half-remembers isn’t a straight line at all — the original study breaks it into specific spending brackets, and each bracket carries its own distinct risk multiplier, not a simple “spend more, risk more”

Researchers studying the “Matthew effect” in reading found that the sheer amount of time someone spends reading predicts long-term vocabulary growth even after accounting for how strong their vocabulary already was, which means the habit itself does compounding work that a single smart start can’t replace
