Follow the next tips and you will create your own Personal Branding by yourself.

Tip 1. Blog

Open a blog with your name.

You should always try to write content about your customer’s topic of interest and to help them to find the answers they are looking for.

Your name and your picture should always be visible on your personal blog and do not forget to give to users the opportunity to write comments or questions about on your content.

Tip 2. Social Media

At the same way, you should create a specific page with your name on facebook and on other social media. Every time that your release a content or an article on your blog, you should share it on Facebook. With this strategy you will soon see discussions appear on around your posts and this is a great thing.
