Good ideas.

A challenge to this group: Any branding advice for a 'serious' kid blogger, not an adult or company?

I can't go to conferences yet. Can't attend 'barcamps', (I'm only 13). Biz cards don't fit in the 7th grade, though I've just put up posters asking for guest contributors to my KidReviewer.com blog.
I've thought about using free press release to announce launch, but open to other ideas just for a kid.

There are hundreds of blog rolls for adults, momblogs, herblogs, dadblogs, but not so much with kids. Thanks, for the tips above, and other ideas I can use.

Summer's almost here, so I'll have lots of time to work on my blog (and personal brand).

PS - my language teacher gave me extra credit for printing out my kidreviewer posts. That rocks.

I agree (whether I like it or not) with Vaspers, it is all about the problem you solve, or the excellence you provide. It is not about your product, or about YOU per se, except for the part where we are gently moving into a society where the most valued jobs are jobs that simply require you to share your personality, it is ultimately about the action you represent.

Chris, I like the tip - "Tighten up you message." Like others who have commented I needed to be reminded of that.

Personal branding has to be about adding value to others not just me, me, me. If adding value to others is important hopefully trust and transparency will be communicated with it.

Great Stuff!

great post...i pay particular attention to the blog section because a blog is the persons true voice and what your audience measures you against.

Actors may be able to slip into someone else's skin, but in this world, you need to have the core of yourself (or business or whatever) well defined before spreading the message out further.

Try Kevin Carroll's The Rules of the Red Rubber Ball- great little book, touching on this subject.

Here is a helpful link for branding--they don't cover branding yourself but the techniques seem to be simple enough.

I've found that a wire coat hanger and a cigarette ligher seems to work very well when branding myself. I've only done it once and it was very painful. But it worked, and seems to be premanent. Also taking my shirt off at events so people can enjoy it seems to make a lasting impression. Your milage may vary.

Do good work. With the fast lines of communication available today, it's never been easier to get referrals and others doing your branding for you. However, nothing can tarnish your personal brand more than dropping the ball or producing rubbish.

I liked the reminded that branding only works when you're being genuine.

And yes, there's company branding, too, but as Robert Scoble pointed out, branding one's self is often beneficial to one's organization as well.

Finally, if you can't back up whatever you're saying, how good is that?

communicate in multi-way conversation zones, using all media: podcasts, text, video, web conferencing, Twitter, google chat.

Assemble a complex array of RSS/Atom feeds using your own scrapers or Yahoo Pipes, to configure updates from the leading experts and innovators in your field...keeping you ahead of all competitors.

I think Scoble does this. heh. damn it.
