Comment Contest: Who Are You? Win a Personal Branding Tip

I’ve been meaning to do this here for some time now.

I’d like to learn more about who is following us here on The Personal Branding Blog, and a quick little contest for you should make it more interesting.

Here’s how it works

Leave a comment below this article.

In your comment, include 2 things:

  1. Your favorite personal branding tip
  2. Something about you that most people don’t know. Have fun with it.

For example, I’ll go first:

  1. My favorite personal branding tip is to blog. As I mentioned in our Ask The Experts article: “Centralize everything you do around a blog where you demonstrate to the world the full extent of your expertise. Impressing people in public, you will attract work offers, networking connections and loyal viewers whose evangelism will build your brand more than you ever could by yourself.”
  2. While other kids would count sheep to fall asleep, I used to multiply twos in my head. It’s boring… and it works. (That was taken from 7 Fun and Weird Things About Me)

How to win your personalized tip

When you leave your comment, put your blog url in the ‘Your Website’ field. If you don’t have a blog, put your next best personal brand-building url e.g. your LinkedIn profile, Twitter account, Facebook page, etc.

For every 5 comments, I’ll choose one winner. I’ll then contact that winner with a personal branding tip related to the website they submitted with their comment.

One comment only per person,  and please submit your comment no later than Sunday April 17th 2010.

Give it a shot.
