Coming to a Blog Near You

When I started to look at the people around me who have built successful personal brands, one thing is apparent.  They are great at building personal relationships.

Online personal branding is a bit more tricky.  It’s harder to build a personal relationship online.   Relationships online take more repetition, more pinging, and cultivating.  Joining Twitter was a good start for me as it gives those on the web a way to get to know me as a person rather than some distant blogger.

I’m looking for ideas that help build those connections.  Videos might be a good start as they give you a visual and audio representation of who I am.  Done right, and they can help build a brand and connection.  Anyone else have ideas?

    I think Twitter is a great tool for expressing interest in someone, since unlike an RSS subscription, the twitterer gets a notification of exactly who is following them.

    I use Facebook in a similar way, because it gives people a window into your life. It works for me because my offline persona doesn’t consist of a lot of wild stuff that I’d rather non-friends didn’t know about.

    Twitter has been an absolutely wonderful tool for me. I have met and connected with so many great people, it’s mind blowing.

    I would definitely say Twitter would be my suggestion. That along with commenting on blogs that you like to read that are outside of the personal branding/communication world.
