The document discusses how collaboration, rather than competition, can help bloggers build successful blogs. It argues that bloggers should work with their competitors by sharing content, guest posting on each other's blogs, and helping promote each other's work. This benefits all bloggers by bringing in new audiences and traffic from other sites. The document provides tips for how to connect with other bloggers on social media and through existing online communities. It encourages bloggers to leverage the skills and audiences of others through collaboration instead of trying to do everything alone.

What is a Personal Brand? Why is it important in your career? Tips for developing & communicating your Personal Brand effectively.
Presentation given by Jennifer McClure - President of Unbridled Talent, LLC at the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber Women's Leadership Development Program on February 1, 2011.
Keynote presentation delivered to the League of Southeastern Credit Unions & Affiliates on topic of personal branding. The audience / attendees were brand new to social media so the content is geared toward an entry level digital marketing audience.
As s Social Media Consultant and the founder of a Facebook group geared to women in direct sales/network marketing, I felt an obligation to help share the best practices for "Branding You" in social media. Far too many are marketing like the masses and quite frankly, how direct sales, network marketing companies are telling their reps to do. Brand them not the individual. It's time we as strong, courageous women say no to their marketing campaigns and restrictions, and become our own brand. I had some technical issues with my Google Hangout (a rookie). Have the sound, but never progressed through my power point presentation. So my attempt to make both available. Here is the recording of the hangout (apologize for the issues at the beginning as well, but all a part of life and learning!) I would love to connect with fellow women entrepreneurs in the direct sales and network marketing industry.

Personal Branding: What? Where? Why? How?James McCrae
2012 has been called "the year of personal branding." This presentation covers several aspects of personal branding, from style to resume to online positioning. Enjoy, and unlock your own personal brand.
In this presentation to the students of the Public Relations Student Society of America at the University of Delaware, I talk about branding yourself as a PR professional, and five tools to help you establish a personal brand.
Personal branding is not just about style or packaging and it is more about substance, the inner core, discovering what is innate about you and projecting it to the outer world authentically. Thus there would be a congruence between the inner self and the world’s expectations.

The term branding has long been relegated to companies and products, but today almost every individual has to have a personal brand as personal brand serves the brand of an employer company and its products complimentarily and it has positive impact on the way an organization and its culture is managed.

This session focuses on explaining the parts of persona, promise and brand story of a person and explains how can you strategically carve and build the personal brand – which helps you create a personal equity – to be more effective in the organization, market and society.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

4. com·pe·ti·tion
What is competition and how is it affecting our ability
to create and grow our blogs?
ˌkämpəˈtiSHən/
noun
the activity or condition of competing.
"there is fierce competition between banks"
synonyms: rivalry, competitiveness, vying; conflict, feuding, fighting;
•
We live in a society that is very driven by competition - this has a good side
and a bad side.
•
Bad side: We have feelings of inadequacy, lack, and like there are limited
resources. Limited readers, limited clients, limited subscribers, etc. etc. etc.
Lack mentality causes us to either not act at all or do scammy things.
•
We get very hung up on technicalities - google rankings, traffic numbers,
subscribers, Twitter followers - all important, all very useful, but not the
point of your blog.
•
We forget about the two most important aspects of building a successful
blog and business: authenticity and relationships.

6. What is collaboration and how can it
help you and your blog?
col·lab·o·ra·tion
kəˌlabəˈrāSHən/
noun
the action of working with someone to produce or create something.
•
You don’t have to do everything by yourself. Let others help you build your
blog!
•
You can learn from others to help mold your own unique point of view you begin to realize different people like different flavors.
•
You scratch their back, they’ll scratch yours - referrals, traffic, mentors,
Google rankings, followers, you name it!
•
You make new friends that understand your vision and will support you
every step of the way.
•
Coming from a place of collaboration causes less stress than constantly
worrying about formalities.
7. Finding Your Unique Voice
•
What is your story? Why did you even start this
venture? What’s the “why” behind all of this? How
do you relate to this?
•
Who the heck are you talking to, anyway? (Target
Market.)
•
What problem(s) are you solving for them?
What’s the angst they are feeling? (Market
Research)
•
•
How are you solving their problems?
What can you share with them? What value are
you providing for your audience?
8. Here’s what to do if you’re not sure...
•
Ask the subscribers you already have. How would they describe you and your
brand? What draws them to you? Extra: You can also ask them, what’s NOT
working for them. This will help you tailor your voice.
•
Build relationships with other bloggers in your niche. Take notes on what you
dig about them and what you don’t. Build your own version from there.
(Remember, different people like different things. Some people like vanilla ice
cream and some like chocolate, but at the end of the day it’s still ice cream.)
•
Pick the brains of members of your target market. Let them help you! Go out
for coffee, set up Skype calls, have lunch! Ask them what they are dealing with
and how you can serve them. Notice patterns or similarities among them. (This
is especially helpful to those who may just have a fuzzy idea of who their
audience is.)
9. Sharing Other People’s Stuff
•
•
•
Real talk: People hate it when you’re just promoting your own things.
•
Have a list of bloggers you can refer people to. Let’s face it, you don’t have
the answers to everything!
•
Affiliate Marketing: Only share products you have used yourself! This builds
trust with your audience, you help out a fellow blogger (who will in turn
help you when you need it), and you can make some cash.
•
Also a great way to build relationships with bloggers who may be further
along than you.
Find stuff that is relevant to your audience and share it with them.
Link to other blogs within blog posts, email bloggers you referenced and
thank them for their work, etc.
11. How to Collaborate With Other
Bloggers (And How it Can Increase Your
Numbers/Sales)
•
Exchanging guest posts: you share your posts, they share theirs, you both get
traffic from new sources. (Extra tip: Guest posting on bigger sites also helps
with your Google ranking!)
•
Teaming up to provide something for your audiences. This could be webinars,
infoproducts, free offerings, teleclasses - you name it! They share their audience
with you, you share your audience with them. Win Win.
•
•
Affiliates - helping each other make sales.
If you were doing these things all by yourself it would take you A LOT longer
to get your blog off the ground.
12. Where do you find these other bloggers
& how do you connect?
Where to find
bloggers?
• Facebook groups
•Blogs you already
follow
• Twitter
•Ning Groups
Ways to connect
•Direct emails
•Tweets
•Comments
•Facebook
Comments
13. Final Points
•
Competition is dead: there is nothing new under the sun and there is
PLENTY to go around.
•
Your unique experience and constant feedback from readers will help you
craft your voice.
•
•
No need to reinvent the wheel or try to do everything by yourself.
Bloggers are some of the most laid back people around - reach out to them,
collaborate, and help each other out!
