Chad, another great article! I’m already doing #1, and #3. I will plan to do the virtual resume soon. I also have started adding my linkedin profile link in my work email signature, and it is starting to get attention from my clients and colleagues. Eventually, I would want to add my work blog there as well. I think my company will embrace this idea. I am sort of unique in my organization doing all these extra work, but I know it will be worth all my efforts. Thanks!

@Matches- Yes, you must first know what your personal brand is before you can promote it and gain some lift in your career. And if your company has policies against knowledge sharing and social networking they’re behind the times. As long as you’re not using company time to write your blog, or connect on social networks there should not be a problem.

Thanks for your comment!

Chad: I really appreciate the insights provided by both you and Dan Schawbel in this article post. As always, Job Well Done!

In terms of completing the implementation of your 3 insights, I’m at 2 out of 3. The next critical personal branding to-do — writing my blog. I’ve been diligently reading and studying Me 2.0 on the significance of personal branding, and the insights are invaluable for any age demographic (especially the blogging strategies and tactics) . I know Dan wrote his book with Gen Y as the target beneficiaries, but professionals of ALL AGES should take his and your lessons to heart (as a point of reference — I’m 43 years old).

As part of my personal branding education, I’m undertaking the to-do of learning FriendFeed during this Memorial Day Weekend. I’m convinced this will take my social network integration to the next level and continue to drive my personal branding momentum and results.

As of this morning, Google Search Results for “tony faustino” reference me on 80% of both 1st and 2nd Page SERPs. It’s especially gratifying that I “own” the Top 3 results on Page 1. Moreover, a Senior VP in my organization recently recognized my social networking efforts/knowledge in a recent LinkedIn Recommendation.

I hope you don’t mind me documenting these results, but I do so to emphasize the lessons you and Dan work very hard to evangelize. These economic times are still highly uncertain. However, if people will “walk the walk” and “talk the talk” in their own personal brand development, they can truly hit the ground running when the economy stabilizes.

Many thanks to you and Dan,
Tony Faustino

Good tips, but I’d advise against sharing each post you publish on the social networks. Doing so can annoy your contacts on those sites and lead to them ignoring any posts you make.

Instead, post only the best posts you publish. If your posts are good enough, other people will post them for you. I would also post other posts you found valuable to show you’re not just self-promoting but are actually trying to share useful information.

Personal branding makes you 1) the go-to-person at work for a specific need 2) more productive by fielding a stronger network base 3) more confident in your approach to projects

Of course, it might be helpful to know what your personal brand is, first…. And I didn’t see any mention of maintaining company guidelines…. Of course, I just skimmed the article, and haven’t had my morning coffee yet.
