As self-employed experts, we have our own personal branding considerations: Of course, like most professionals we want our positive reputation to proceed us (in our target market community). But experts with certifications and licenses must conform to professional codes of conduct.

This affects our personal brand marketing: Compliance & certifications assure the public that we are just as good as the next guy. This defeats the purpose of positioning our expertise as different and unique.

My podBlog explores clever ways to leverage our Personal Brands (as self-employed certified experts). Case in point…

How well do you know your Compliance Officer?

Bottom-line though, if all we have is our personal brands … then while your ego can inflate indefinitely… our time is limited. The point is to develop a reputation so powerful that we can then endorse other products & people, upon our personal brand platform. That is, we should Leverage our Personal Brand!

A new reader of your blog, I’m nevertheless quite the fanatic about branding.

After attending a Ben Mack workshop in Atlanta back in September I created this.

http://msms2.com/Legend_Platform/index.htm

However, I must tell, my newest interests include these topics…

==> a tyranny of words
==> attention deficit trait
==> futilitarianism
==> mindfulness
==> utilitarianism
==> anti-authoritarianism

… All of which go hand-in-hand with branding!

Keep up the excellent work, my friend.

What Hugh said about Microsoft bloggers and Apple not-bloggers is about DEFENDING a corporate ego/unique brand which existed at Apple in contrast to Microsoft which, on the other hand, didn’t have to fear CREATING a brand on top and on the foundations of personal or corporate uniqueness(es).

Trying to extrapolate, the static brand which needs defense of any kind IS dead, while the dynamic, recursively self-inventing and re-creating brand is immortal.
