1. Set Up Google Alerts<\/strong><\/p>\n

When it comes to building a personal brand and staying on top of it, you need to make checking your brand into a habit. The most effective way I\u2019ve found to keep tabs on my own personal brand is to set up Google Alerts that go straight to my inbox whenever my name or company\u2019s name is mentioned. \u2013\u00a0Bryce Welker<\/a>,\u00a0Crush The CPA Exam<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Check Out Social Media Accounts and Reviews for Large Brands\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

If I was working with someone new to\u00a0branding<\/span>, I\u2019d suggest that they choose a well-known brand related to their industry and research them on social media and a review site such as Yelp. This gives you a chance to see both how the brand presents itself and how customers react to it. It\u2019s important to notice what kind of content they post and the tone they use when responding to customers. \u2013\u00a0Kalin Kassabov<\/a>,\u00a0ProTexting<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Provide Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n

To encourage someone to pay attention to personal\u00a0branding<\/span>, provide them with resources to\u00a0help<\/span>\u00a0them learn. You could send them articles from reputable publications, entertaining and educational YouTube videos on the subject, or even point them to a great podcast episode about personal\u00a0branding<\/span>. Hearing it from other people in a way that resonates with them will\u00a0help<\/span>\u00a0them learn. \u2013\u00a0Stephanie Wells<\/a>,\u00a0Formidable Forms<\/a><\/p>\n

4. First, Craft Your Message<\/strong><\/p>\n

Personal\u00a0branding<\/span>\u00a0has been very popular these days \u2014 from Gary Vaynerchuk to Richard Branson. Utilize social media as much as possible to grow a personal brand. First, craft your message: What is your brand all about and how do you\u00a0help<\/span>\u00a0your audiences? Then jump to social media and create videos, blog posts and other valuable content to get your message across. \u2013\u00a0Jean Ginzburg<\/a>,\u00a0JeanGinzburg.com<\/p>\n

5. Talk to Them About the ROI<\/strong><\/p>\n

The return on investment on personal\u00a0branding<\/span>, when done properly, is immense. Customers will seek you out directly instead of shopping around for multiple service providers. They\u2019ll remember you by name and think of you first when they need your products or services. It\u2019s no different from corporate\u00a0branding<\/span>\u00a0in the sense that it makes you reach top of mind awareness within your audience.-\u00a0Amine Rahal<\/a>,\u00a0Little Dragon Media<\/a><\/p>\n

6. Explain the Importance<\/strong><\/p>\n

First off, when explaining the concept of a personal brand to someone, you must elaborate on why it\u2019s important that they have and maintain one to begin with. Reviews, general mentions and your image on the web are everything when it comes to success these days. By making sure your personal brand is well received by the target demographic, you\u2019ll never lose a customer before the first contact. \u2013\u00a0Jared Weitz<\/a>,\u00a0United Capital Source<\/p>\n

7. Ask Them to Reflect on Their Own Perspective of Other Brands<\/strong><\/p>\n

Odds are they\u2019ve noticed and liked what other people or personal brands are doing. Ask them if there is any personal or company brand that really stands out to them. What do they like about it and how they would describe said brand? By doing this, you\u2019ll\u00a0help<\/span>\u00a0them uncover the effects\u00a0branding<\/span>\u00a0has actually had on them, thus making a point about what\u00a0branding<\/span>\u00a0is and why it is important.-\u00a0Andy Karuza<\/a>,\u00a0FenSens<\/p>\n

8. Create Great Content<\/strong><\/p>\n

A rookie mistake a lot of people make when it comes to building a strong personal brand is trying to implement \u201cget followers quick\u201d tactics. Focus on creating great content first and be consistent and persistent when doing so. A good way to start is to tell your story in the most authentic way you can. \u2013\u00a0Diego Orjuela<\/a>,\u00a0Cables & Sensors<\/a><\/p>\n

9. Be Purposeful in the Things That You Put Out There<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everything you post online lives forever in one way or another. Unfortunately, you have no ability to predict or control how others will use that information. It\u2019s important to have a plan for how you want to market yourself to the world and to set boundaries for yourself in terms of how you engage. \u2013\u00a0Andrew Saladino<\/a>,\u00a0Kitchen Cabinet Kings<\/a><\/p>\n

10.\u00a0Help<\/span>\u00a0Them Understand Their Current Brand<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jeff Bezos is famously credited with saying: \u201cYour brand is what people say about you when you are not in the room.\u201d Run an anonymous survey on Facebook (there is an app for that) among their friends to see what other people honestly think about them to\u00a0help<\/span>\u00a0them realize what their current brand is. This will open their eyes very quickly. \u2013\u00a0Eugene Gold<\/a>,\u00a0WOW Payments LLC<\/p>\n

11. Ask Them Simple Questions<\/strong><\/p>\n

The\u00a0best<\/span>\u00a0way to encourage someone to pay attention to personal\u00a0branding<\/span>\u00a0when they\u2019re new to a concept is all about awareness. In the early stages, it\u2019s asking them questions like, \u201cpretend I\u2019m meeting you again 10 years from now. Who am I meeting and what is it like to be around you?\u201d Or ask them about a mentor: Why do they admire that mentor and how did their mentor\u00a0become<\/span>\u00a0a mentor?-\u00a0Arry Yu<\/a>,\u00a0Yellow Umbrella Ventures<\/a><\/p>\n

12. Run a Personal Brand Audit<\/strong><\/p>\n

A great way to learn about\u00a0branding<\/span>\u00a0and online reputation management is to perform it on yourself. Something new hires and employees can do to get started is to go through this process themselves. We all have social profiles, but they each rank all over the place in terms of Google and SEO. Provide your team with the tools to run this first search and then have them do it again with your own or competitor brands. \u2013\u00a0Zac Johnson<\/a>,\u00a0Blogger<\/a><\/p>\n
