Bloggers and (Personal) Brand-Building. eMarketer estimates nearly 28 million US Internet users write a blog in 2009, and those bloggers run the gamut from hobbyists and part-timers to self-employed and corporate bloggers. According to a Technorati survey of bloggers worldwide, most are men, ages 18 to 44, affluent and well-educated. About one-quarter work for a traditional media outlet in addition to blogging, and most still don’t make any money from their self-publishing activities. But there are other ways to create value. Fully 70% of bloggers polled by Technorati said they talked about products or brands on their blog. Bloggers who post about products and services may get some attention from brands in the form of free items and other perks—enough to attract the notice of the US Federal Trade Commission, at least—but the visibility they gain through publishing their thoughts also helps them in less-tangible ways.

Keep up on the latest digital trends. Check out today’s other article, “The Changing Mobile Social Ad Space.” Oprah Winfrey and Your Leadership Brand - John Baldoni - Harvard. By John Baldoni | 9:37 AM November 25, 2009 All leaders have a brand. Whether that term is used or not, leaders have an identifiable persona that is a reflection of what they do and how others perceive them. I call this the leadership brand. When it comes to cultivating a leadership brand, look no further than Oprah Winfrey, who recently announced that she would be ending her popular talk show in 2011.

In a perceptive analysis, New York Times media columnist David Carr suggests that Winfrey’s brand and the key to her longevity is a combination of things she didn’t do as well as things that she did do. On the “don’t do side,” she did not over-merchandize nor take her company public; she kept control of her products and thereby her image, unlike Martha Stewart. On the “do side,” she always stayed true to herself.

The lessons of Oprah’s brand are relevant to any leader. Here are some lessons for cultivating your own positive leadership brand. Practice what you preach. Act on principle.

Le Personal Branding. Directory. How to brand you. Personal Branding: How to Brand You? Vous aurez noté que certains de mes billets ont parfois un titre anglais. C'est le cas pour celui-ci, car contrairement aux apparences, il est difficile à traduire. Moins dans les mots que dans les faits. Dans les mots, le "Personal Branding", c'est l'idée que chacun peut être sa propre marque qu'il s'agit de communiquer, promouvoir, positionner (par rapport à la "concurrence"), etc. D'où la question How to Brand You? Mais cela reste très difficile à traduire dans les faits pour notre culture francophone, où une connotation sous-jacente et fortement négative est toujours présente, qu'on pourrait rendre par l'équation suivante : self branding = se vendre = pute ! Car là est le problème, tout au moins chez nous, où l'amalgame personal branding-prostitution vient quasi-naturellement à l'esprit. Je vous propose donc cette présentation de David Armano :
