eBranding for the Masses by Dan Schawbel - personalbrandingblog.com

“The Internet has its victims and its heroes. Social media has been the driving force in revealing and exposing good versus evil, by the participation and commentary of its inhabitants. Those who have clean hearts will gain positive publicity around their personal brands because people will only have good things to say about them.”

In a chapter entitled ‘eBranding for the Masses‘ Dan outlines the facts that tell us we can no longer choose whether to be connected, visible, and engaged — unless we choose to be invisible.

The acid test is how your readers would react if they knew “the truth.” Would the reaction be neutral? Even positive? Or would they feel betrayed, deceived, let down?”

In a chapter entitled ‘How To Tell a True Story Without Spilling Your Secrets‘ Joanna gives three areas of advice to help you be transparent online, but still have some privacy.

You may have noticed some sound files being added to this blog over the past few days. Well, you’re not alone - the people who run Utterz.com seem to have noticed too, and have created a rotating banner for the site that advertises my content.

I am deeply flattered, and felt the need to reciprocate the attention by writing a little about the site - click the image below to see why I find Utterz such a useful resource to enhance my personal brand online, and do add your own comments when you see the full-size image - you can do so easily thanks to the great Skitch application. I also enjoy the humorous cow metaphor subtly used throughout the site, where Utterz = Udders (Geddit?), so you can ‘be herd, add ‘mooving’ pictures etc.
