This post is dedicated to deciding which social media channels to use for personal branding. Let me begin by explaining what personal branding is; in the simplest way I can.
Although much of the search engine optimisation (SEO) work carried out by agencies like mine is ongoing, there are important elements that need to be incorporated in the early days. It's quite common for clients to approach us once they have just paid for a brand new website design. This is understandable, even if it's frustrating for SEO professionals.

As more brands explore and embrace social media and word of mouth marketing, we need to increase our vigilance for strong ethics. The true power of social media marketing lies in how it can amplify word of mouth. Brands want customers and fans to recommend their product or speak positively around a topic. People want to hear the true opinions of people like themselves - what they think about a product, a hotel-stay, a health regimen and so forth. The minute that opinion is proven dishonest, the whole promise of word of mouth marketing is diminished.
