Personal Branding 101
Personal Branding 101
All week long on Girl Meets Business, we’ve been taking a look at different aspects of personal branding:
Define yourself, perfect your image
Book Review: Managing Brand You
Three work essentials: Rock, Paper, Scissors
Throughout The YP Rockstar, we’ll continue to look at personal branding among other great topics, but first I want to introduce you to the personal branding gurus (if you haven’t been acquainted with them already!):
Dan Schawbel – Personal Branding Blog
Dan is a Gen Yer who has made a name for himself as a personal branding expert. His site, Personal Branding Blog, is a widely-recognized blog that focuses on all things personal branding (and apparently is one of MC Hammer’s favorite blogs). Many of his posts are interviews with amazing business experts, social media gurus, and successful entrepreneurs.
A few of my favorite posts from Personal Branding Blog:
An Introduction to the World of Personal Branding
Build Your Companies and Your Brand Will Reap the Rewards
2009 Personal Branding Predictions
Gary Vaynerchuk – GaryVanerchuk.com, Wine Library TV
It seems like I can’t have a conversation about personal branding without Gary Vaynerchuks’s name coming up. He has taken personal branding to a whole new level with his engaging videos. And, boy, has it worked! Google “Gary” and his site comes up #3. He’s appeared pretty much everywhere - books, internet, and even regular TV!
A few of my favorite Gary Vaynerchuk videos:
Doing what you love can lead to more than just happiness
Execute on YOU
2 Buck Vaynerchuk

Wow, I am very honored to be mentioned along with Gary, Chris, Steve, and Dan. Thank you so much, you just made my week
Just read more of your posts and I love what I see. Would be awesome to work on a project together sometime or to have you as a guest on Future Delivery TV.
Hope to chat sometime soon
@Jun Absolutely! Thanks for writing such a great post so that I could share it.
Look forward to talking to you soon.
Great post on personal branding. For myself, my blog has been my No. 1 branding tool. Twitter and LinkedIn also help.
