Things You'll Need:
- computer or laptop
- internet connection
-
Step 1
Create a blog that focuses on who you are and what you can do. This blog should clearly reflect you. For example, if you are working in the film industry, then keep a blog that talks about films, short films, famous directors, upcoming movies and such. If you are not good at words then clips are acceptable. Work on it for about 2 weeks.
-
Step 2
Google search for current listings of top social media sites.
-
Step 3
Choose 3-5 top ranking sites that you can actually maintain. Review what the site could offer you and its potential benefits for your personal branding efforts. If you feel you cannot work with a certain social networking site then move on to the next even if the first one is high ranking.
-
Step 4
Create an account. Complete your profile and confirm all accounts, if needed.
-
Step 5
Once ready, you can now add content to your chosen sites. Try to gather friends and interact as much as possible. Check your sites very other day and update it regularly. Join forums and groups and contribute to the community as much as possible. Maintain them for as long as you want and move on to the next if you find another that has been gaining leverage over other social media sites.
