How to Brand Yourself

Building an individual brand is like marketing a product. The general objective with marketing is to separate yourself from the rest, so you can accomplish your goals, be those finding gainful employment or turning into a celebrity. Start with knowing your image and brand traits, and be unique.

The greatest issue I see concerning individual marketing is an absence of sufficient research and creativity. Individuals have a tendency to get so energized that they neglect to get their work done before making a move. To maintain a winning strategy, take the time to work through what you want your brand to be. Think of it as how you want to package yourself. Like a yellow arc for McDonalds, or a bulls eye for my favorite shopping center, Target.
