What Is All This Talk About Branding Yourself and Do You Need It?
|
It sounded simple and I had it down to where I understood that it was some kind of focus on me, but I couldn't really figure out how was supposed to work. I had heard the term "Self Branding" before, and somehow I was really stuck because my mind was bringing up old westerns with Jimmy Stewart and cattle having a bad day. Was I suffering from some kind of brain freeze over terms that were creating weird images in my head? Maybe. (I have a brain that does that to me every once in a while.)Well I have never let my brain stop me before and this was not going to be an exception. I knew that if I just kept exposing myself to this kind of stuff sooner or later it would click, and sure enough, it did. What a shock it was to find out I had been living this idea out all my life, I just didn't know it had a name. Here is an example. For instance...if you and I met and you told me your name, a second later it would be gone and the next time you see me I would have to ask you again...maybe I just have a slippery mind. BUT then again there are some names that I have no problem remembering at all. Why is that? It’s because they…Not I…have been branded permanently in my mind. Does that give you a little clue as to what this branding stuff is all about? It is quite simply being immediately recognizable without that person having to try and remember who you are. So…How is this done? Once again let’s stop talking internet lingo and get an off-line example here. Think of it this way, if you and I were to see each other say...20 times in one day, and each time you told me your name, do you think you would ever forget it? Now you have been successfully branded into MY memory, and it is no less permanent that if you had used a red hot iron, just a lot less painful. There wouldn't happen to be people branded into you memory that you can't forget but would like to forget now would there?...moving right a long. Well how did they get there? Same way, right? With constant repeated exposure over and over and over, all of the sudden...it’s permanent. Here’s the conclusion of my point. You being BRANDED online is you being exposed enough times in different places with: 1. Knowledge people want. 2. Experiences people want to hear. 3. Training that people need. 4. Direction that people are searching for. 5. You fill in the next one. That’s what it means to be Branded. Now…How do you do it? Ahh, I thought you’d never ask. That is a subject all in itself, and it is well worth the education. About The Author: Learning the secrets of Personal Branding is a crucial element to achieving online MLM success.
