I’m always interested in meeting people who are considering returning to school to become a paralegal.
- 12. Networking Around theConference We’ve discussed some of the Best Practices of Business Networking. As you enjoy the remainder of the conference, try these questions to prompt your conversations with people previously unknown to you. Let’s start with our own small group – as we take a break, let’s network around the room for practice: •How did you get involved in paralegal studies? •How long have you been a member of AAFPE? Have you attended other events? •Is there anything special that I can do to help you enjoy your experience? •What other organizations are you involved with? •What do you enjoy doing in your spare time? •What are your expectations of the conference? •Would you like to connect on Linkedin?
- 13. Your PROGRAM BrandingPlan: 4 Simple Steps 1-Self Assess: Where are you now? What do you do online and in person to market your program at this time? 2-Be realistic: Don’t plant a garden that you don’t plan to feed and water. Social media is about engagement. It’s about relevance. It’s about content. If you’re not prepared to share these things, that’s okay … but consider this before entering into the social space. 3-Give it time: Personal branding results take time and are measured in several ways. Dip a toe in the water, and strategically enter into new channels/tactics. 4-Measure what works: Keep track of where you are now (baseline) and use art and science to measure growth. Don’t ever allow yourself to fall into the trap of later saying “We set up a Facebook page, but it hasn’t really worked for us”

Editor's Notes
- #8 Planning is essential Before embarking on your brand quest, set specific goals. What do you want others to think when you speak about yourself? Take a critical and objective look at where you are now. Set realistic goals based on those observations. These goals should not be hollow. It is easier to create a map when you know your destination. Find your niche Where do your opinions diverge from the conventional thinking? What aspects of your expertise have not gotten enough attention? What sets you apart from those who have already created their personal brand? Knowing this information will help you further define your own identity. Treat it like a strategy game In strategy games, you need to think several moves ahead. You need to have contingency plans for your opponent’s activities. The best time to come up with alternatives and branding ‘moves’ is before you go live with your ideas. Engage social platforms You have been told that you need to have a presence within every single social networking sphere. Each audience is different. Each sphere adds to your brand and your personal reputation. Start with two or three methods of engaging your audience. Use forums and LinkedIn. Use Twitter and your personal blog. Pick two of these platforms. Watch the activity within these arenas to determine whether they are appropriate for your needs. Perform a trial run Before joining a networking group, starting a blog, or enacting another tactic, make sure that you can follow a schedule. Consider your time, your will, and your level of interest. Well begun is only half done. Execution is the next step After developing a framework for your personal branding strategy, you need to execute your plan. Each step for the first year should be planned. What steps will you take? Interaction You know who the movers and shakers are within your field ... so find out what organizations they are a part of! AAPC is a perfect start. Find three members whose careers you emulate and get to know them. How do you think they would respond if you asked them for advice? Planning and Scheduling Create a schedule which is based on your personal habits. Planning is the foundation of your personal brand. Execution builds the structure of that brand. Your brand is your business and your reputation. Start with “Market Myself Monday” and “Follow-Up Friday”. Try that for three weeks--see what you gain from one hour spent at the beginning and end of each week in this sort of purposeful interaction. Grow from there and see what happens!
- #38 Where do your eyes go? What do you read? 50% of people look at the top paid result (lots of people ignore the SEM because they know it’s a paid commercial) 100% of people look at the top organic result Think of SEO as OWNING and SEM as RENTING
