separates you from everyone else?

attributes. This should be everyone’s goal in building an “ownable” personal brand

Emerging media offers inexpensive but effective ways to interact
with potential customers:
“ AS ENTREPRENEURS, we have to either adopt — or adapt to — new methods
of advertising to reach potential clients and customers. With so many of them
connected to the internet with their mobile phones and/or laptop computers,
it's no wonder that digital media advertising (DMA) is the new hot button for
any seasoned or newbie entrepreneur.”
Robert Shimonski @ Entrepreneur.com 7/08
“ Businesses of all types and sizes are focusing on the power of bloggers as
opinion shapers. But harnessing that power is particularly important for
small-business owners who don't have the money to create name recognition
with big marketing campaigns. By connecting with the right blogs, small
businesses can generate buzz around their products and services and increase
sales dramatically.”

Do
• Use good judgment about what you write on public sites.
• Consider how your comments would be perceived before you
actually post them, and think about logic above emotion at all
times. Before you hit “post,” realize that this will be a
permanent reflection of your identity and that it may never be
erased.
• Avoid the unnecessary commentary.
• Understand and abide by your company’s social media policy.
• Use proper introductions when adding users as friends or
connections.
• Acknowledge and accept some individuals won’t network with
you on a “personal” space like Facebook without knowing who
you are, even with the proper introduction.

Before acting, ask yourself these questions? Social media mimics real
relationships — in many cases. Would you do the following within real
face-to-face relationships?
•Jump on the friendship bandwagon without properly introducing
yourself?
•Consistently talk about yourself and promote only yourself without
regard for those around you?
•Randomly approach a friend you barely talk to and simply ask for
favors — repeatedly?
•Introduce yourself to another person as “Pink House Gardening?”
