Countdown till Personal Branding Magazine issue 2: 2 days!

It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost 3 months since the first issue of Personal Branding Magazine. Luckily, with an outstanding team of contributors, I was able to develop the 2nd issue. This issue is a landmark in my career. Also, the magazine was adjusted based on my re-branding operation and reformatted based on subscriber feedback. Thank you everyone for the support and stay patient as I countdown the days till the launch of issue 2!

Here are a few things I’ve learned recently

  • Match personal interest and proficiency projects
  • Recognize contributors and management
  • Ensure content is exclusive to the magazine
  • Represent a full perspective of the topic
  • Go the extra mile to get the extra outcome
  • Talent = brand
  • Electronic magazines should print easily
  • Reducing the file size is critical to delivery
  • Loyal subscribers and advertisers is key to success
  • Many consumable formats maximizes readership

A very special thank you to all issue 2 contributors
