Developing Your Personal Brand: Tactical Tips for Using a Blog To Stand Out From The Crowd: My single best piece of advice for those seeking new career or personal opportunities is to start a blog. Here are ways you can use a blog to develop your personal brand.
Goals
- Finish up a couple of articles for a big freelancing assignment for one of my alma mater’s alumni publications.
- Run at least 3-4 times this week. I’m not proud of my Broad Street Run training so far, including skipping my 7-mile training run due to so much rain, so I need to get back on track.
- Begin planning for my new video series on the blog- I’ve decided since I’m often uncomfortable in front of the camera, the only way to improve is to force myself to do it even more. Stay tuned!
