Comment on blog posts, use press releases to publicize events you're attending or hosting, write your own blog and tweet your posts, refer to them in FB and LinkedIn and over time, you will rise in the page ranks. (That's my challenge right now - I share the name of a successful western bop recording artist on the east coast who is a master at his online presence and brand!)
I'd like other's ideas on how to improve web presence. Thanks!

The goal is not to have everything you have ever done under one name--just get 3-10 great websites show up using your "unique" name and have some of those (LI, BC, FB) refer to your older works under your other, less unique, name. 132 weeks ago

I think I'm branding myself daily as a creative. But would like to establish the fact that there is money sense behind it.

Most people would pinpoint my creative side as pertaining to business development, promotion and sales. My efforts can help many clients. 143 weeks ago

AC that is much more clear. I'm in the same boat but more on the marketing side. I like to consider myself an "ideaman" and networker too. 143 weeks ago

if you had to choose one forum to express your personal brand, what would it be? A YouTube channel, a LinkedIn page, a blog, something else?
