Internet Marketing 101 - Personal Brand Development Components

Internet Marketing 101

Personal Brand Development Components

In a recent article titled "Personal Brand Management: The Secret to Career Mobility" by Todd Rhoad he states, "Developing personal brand equity is a key element to establishing and maintaining your career mobility. Increasing manager equity is the quickest method for improving and selling your brand throughout the organization. It requires an understanding of what managers like, how to measure your changes and how to influence their perceptions with less effort."


Developing a compelling personal brand image still remains essential to positioning yourself. Everyone is overworked and unable to focus entirely on any one thing, so your ability to have someone managing your personal brand is essential. Professional development in the corporation has morphed into the reality that you have to manage your own personal development. In other words, management doesn't have time to help you develop your career. Sure, they'll take a few minutes to help you jot down your goals but it won't go much further than that. Employees don't get the kind of attention nowadays that helps develop careers. The best way to promote yourself is to promote your personal brand and that is what I deliver for my clients, personal brand management.

Personal brand management has a variety of components and you should carefully consider how to integrate all of the following into your personal brand strategy.

Internet Marketing

Methodology. Strategy. Technology. Execution.

These elements are the foundation to delivering powerful results. Having the ability to do a 360 degree evaluation and to seamlessly implement all aspects of an Internet marketing plan provides my clients a single source solution when partnering with me.

Pay Per Click Management

Pay Per Click Management (PPC) - My personal brand management implements a pay per click strategy which has a solid track record of delivering superior ROI.  My results are certified by Google, Yahoo!, and MSN.

Search Engine Optimization Search Engine Optimization (SEO) - My experience as an SEO analyst provides my clients with efficient, high ROI producing organic search engine optimization campaigns that are part of a fully integrated Internet marketing strategy.

Paid Inclusion (SSP)

Paid Inclusion - I help businesses extend their Internet marketing reach at a low and controllable cost through paid inclusion marketing also known as Yahoo SSP.

Content Advertising

Content Advertising - My Interactive marketing expertise continuously maximizes content advertising opportunities for my clients and refines a placement strategy to give my clients new leads, eCommerce sales, and millions of impressions.

Social Media Marketing

Social Media Marketing - My targeted social media marketing will help you personally or your business control, protect, and grow your brand.  There is a huge brand awareness developed through social network marketing and you need someone with my experience to help you protect your personal brand.

Website Design Website Design & Development - As a full service Internet marketing specialist, my ability to create custom websites and landing pages that blend visual appeal with usability for the end goal of conversions is part of the overall personal branding strategy.

Online Video Marketing

Video Marketing - I cannot underestimate the importance of developing compelling, rich media content to effectively communicate your value proposition and convert visitors into customers. I spend a great deal of time getting my customers into the studio to produce effective video interviews to share their personal brand via video.

Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate Marketing - I have broad experience managing affiliate programs in various industries, including one of Commission Junction's top 10 affiliate marketing programs. If you are providing a service and are looking to leverage your solution, you must have an affiliate marketing strategy and I can help you accomplish this.

Discovering your personal brand is the most challenging part because it takes the most thought. I can help you find yourself.  Once you understand that, it is time to create your brand. Once the creation process completed, you are now able to deliver this content, both verbally and electronically, to whoever you want to understand who you are and what value you provide.

Even with a strong Personal Brand, over time it may decay or be out-of-date. That is why the third strategy is to maintain your Personal Brand over time. The brand must be updated with the latest technical competencies, attire, and feel in order to survive. The market changes rapidly and corporations transition, forcing you to evolve in the same fashion. It's all about knowing where you are, who you want to be, and strategizing how to get there.

Career development is dead and Personal Branding is in. There are far too many job applicants for you not to take into account the entire personal brand management issue. Personal Branding is about differentiation, positioning, and creativity. It allows you to have a better insight into what you're interested in, your career, and your pursuit of happiness. Ask yourself this: Do I want to be like everyone else? If you do, then you will not be chosen for a competitive position. Those who aren't distinct are known, in marketing, as commodities. Commodities have to battle on price and you want to be compensated for your value, so stick with Personal Branding. Commodities are easily replaceable and unrecognizable by the target audience.

There is an even bigger picture with Personal Branding and that is life. Those who have strong brands will not only succeed at their profession, but will also have a better life experience because they will gain confidence in their skills and feel unique in a world where there are billions of people. Career development was only the beginning and now Personal Branding has taken over and you must brand yourself!

Personal Web Marketing and Internet Marketing Coach

Personal Web Marketing

There is an approach to personal web marketing, or personal internet marketing, which I provide for my clients which is very sophisticated, very technically detailed and very effective.  This strategy is not for everyone, but for anyone who wants to be perceived as a rock star in their profession, you must develop a personal web marketing strategy.  I have honed my skills over two decades and have developed a unique and proprietary solution to provide maximum impact to my clients for their Personal Brand development.

In a recent article in Dental Economics, author Bill Blatchford talks about the reality that, "Life is moving so fast, we can barely keep up. Business practices and marketing ideas are happening on the Internet at a speed we cannot comprehend. Called Web 2.0, social networking is the idea of bringing people together for friendship and business."

Bill goes on to say, "The importance to me for people and businesses (dentistry) to be involved in social networking is so we can have an opportunity to direct our brand or offer services instantly and uniquely. If we have no presence, our marketing still happens but could take a negative turn such as, “Dr. Smith doesn't listen and her hygienist hurt me.” You can't be on every site every minute, but part of your marketing effort is to be present and put a positive spin on yourself personally and professionally."

So how can you translate Personal Brand and personal web marketing into a way to grow your business and impact your wealth?  That is what a Personal Brand Continuum Plan is all about.

The average perception is that high profile athletes who get paid huge contracts for their physical abilities make up a large percentage of millionaires in America.  The reality is; athletes, musicians, actors and actresses make up less than 1% of the millionaires in America.  Here is something you probably didn't know!  99% of self made millionaires in America come from these four categories.

Self Owned Business = 74%
Senior Executive Positions = 10%
Doctors, Lawyers, Engineers = 10%
Salespeople and Consultants = 5%

Being a self-owned business is what has made America great and it is the small business owner who has been the driving force behind every economic recovery and/or growth in our economy.  Yet your success or lack of success is determined by the following.
40% - Genealogy = This is your thoughts, culture, instincts and beliefs.
20% - Environment = Where you were born, and raised, and how many resources you had growing up.
40% - You

Social networking is huge and this is something you need to understand if you intend to compete in this economy. Daily, 450,000 people join Facebook.  But that is just one small tip of the iceberg in terms of a total strategic Personal Web Marketing Plan.  Of course you're familiar with YouTube, Flickr, MySpace and Twitter, but did you know that;

• There are more than 200 major social networking websites
• There are more than 50 major photo sharing websites
•  
• There are more than 200 Free Press Release websites
•  
• There are more than 200 Video Sharing websites

The challenge is knowing how to maximize your online presence across some/all/none of these sites, as well as to protect your Personal Brand from being diminished by the link farm robots that grab your personal information and repost without your permission or control.  If you haven't Googled your personal or business name recently, you should make it a regular habit to periodically check on your Personal Brand.  You may be surprised by what you find.  You can setup a Google alert to keep track of your personal brand with periodic updates if anything comes across the web relating to your name.

A Personal Brand Continuum Plan will put you in the drivers seat to proactively manage your online presence and you will have me as your personal internet marketing coach to make sure your image and personal brand is both protected and presented in the most impactful way.

It all starts with a need.  Do you need a Personal Brand Strategy?  Call me today at 760.445.3315 to discuss how I can help you build your Personal Brand into a powerful online marketing tool to generate more leads, build market credibility or just help you find your next gig.  You can email me at kendell.lang@gmail.com

Internet Marketing for Small Business

Realities of Search Engine Optimization for Small Business

 

 

In a recent article in the Los Angeles Times, Cyndia Zwahlen writes;

The small business was funded in part by venture capitalist Peter Rogers and his Dry Creek Ventures, which targets clean energy, water and food businesses.

Such small local food outfits, especially those that are gentle on the environment, are key to the long-term health of the economy but need formal access to local investors to succeed, says social venture-capitalist and entrepreneur Woody Tasch.

Shifting capital to organic farmers, independent food entrepreneurs, farmers markets and restaurateurs will pay off in stronger local economies, a healthier environment and improved supplies of affordable, healthful food, Tasch said.

He founded Slow Money Alliance last year to spearhead the creation of regional networks of local investors that want to put their money into local enterprises.

"We've had the life sucked out of our society and economy by financial markets run amok and globalism run to extremes," Tasch said. Slow Money is "part of a network emerging of people who want to repair the damage."

Journey of a Lifetime: Young Adult Travel Adventures

Book Proposal Query Letter - Title

Journey of a Lifetime: Young Adult Travel Adventures

Summary

The companion travel guidebook to the web-based Reality TV Travel Show "Journey of a Lifetime" is all about building a framework for a social network of like-minded young adults who crave travel adventures and want to experience their own Journey’s. Just like the contestants who have submitted their video online and won their dream travel adventure, young adults can learn through this companion travel guide how they too can experience the very same adventure they’ve seen on the show, or create their own travel adventure. This companion travel guidebook will compliment the Reality TV Travel Series where submissions by contestants highlight personalized stories, often emotional tear-jerker reunions, about connecting young adults and their families with their heritage across continents. Each chapter will coincide with the actual itinerary of each week’s contestant winner. This guide will include easy reference to all the resources compiled for every aspect of the week’s show.

The JOAL guidebook is different because each chapter tells a unique and compelling story, all immersively tied to the visual anchors of that week’s episode on video, as well as logically and easily navigated on the web. The guidebook is designed to be the back-pocket easy reference for the traveler’s favorite episode. For those traveler’s who were mesmerized by the events portrayed on the show, the guidebook will insure that they know exactly where to go and what to do if they want to replicate that experience.

Author

I am a global media Entrepreneur who captures the cultural change of young adults seeking purpose in their life by producing compelling travel adventures leading to self-discovery delivered precisely the way this generation receives its content: thru their iPhone, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. You can see the show’s website at http://www.journeyofalifetime.com/ which includes videos about the show and submission videos by contestants.

One of the key elements to consider when evaluating whether to represent me and this book is the considerable momentum the author can contribute to the overall marketing of the book through a comprehensive distribution strategy which supports and enhances all the traditional book distribution opportunities. In addition to developing traditional and interesting publicity hooks and novel selling approaches, the author is uniquely qualified to bring about a new distribution method for this guidebook, including;

HyperDistribution (social networking)

DVD Distribution

Broadband and Viral Distribution

Search Engine Distribution

What Qualifies Me? I am a technical entrepreneur and have been published in numerous industry and trade association publications and technical white papers. I am currently writing two other books, one non-fiction titled “Hyperdistribution: How to Market to Young Adults” and one fiction titled “Gardner’s of Eden”. I am a subject matter expert in online marketing and have obtained industry recognition for Search Engine Optimization, including having written extensively about search engine ranking. I am credited with coining the phrase “hyperdistribution” which is a new online method of marketing which is described in detail in my proposal and the subject of one of my other non-fiction books. I have authored numerous internal company publications, dozens of business plans, executive summaries for successful investor offerings and numerous policy manuals. I have written for numerous websites, including writing the website www.pattilang.com, a six year journey chronicling my late wife’s battle against brain cancer. I am a published author for a cookbook titled, “Cicciotti’s Kitchen” Italian Family Favorites, featuring Gaetano Cicciotti.

Audience

The emerging market of Youth and Student Travelers, ages 18 to 35, is becoming a highly prized demographic.

We provide travel content for the Traveling Young Adult and Student Community and have created effective online revenue generation strategies through this vehicle. We create unique location-specific, travel oriented websites to educate and inform youth travelers.

We believe that traveling youth between the ages of 18 and 35 are one of the principal driving forces behind the growth of the Internet and that as of January 2009, individuals in the age group of 18 to 35 made up 45% of the online population. We believe that traveling youth between the ages of 18 and 36 also represent an attractive demographic group for advertisers and businesses, controlling or influencing over $1.6 trillion of the $3.0 trillion in annual travel spending in the United States.

We have one of the most demographically targeted online communities on the World Wide Web. Our business will be the largest online travel content provider for young adults, with more interactive travel connections and more unique visitors to our Web sites in a given month than any competitor. Our network, built around our core community website "JourneyofaLifetime.com", provides an easy-to-use, comprehensive and immersive travel community experience tailored to the interests and needs of traveling youth aged 18 through 35. We provide advertisers and merchants with targeted access to traveling youth using the Web.

We are an online travel content company that enables our target Young Adult and Student customers to not only immerse themselves in the video content of our uniquely formatted travel shows, but to also search for and purchase a broad array of proprietary travel products, including direct sales of in-house Travel DVD productions, travel guidebooks, as well as referral coordination of airline tickets, lodging, car rentals, cruises and vacation packages through our website and strategic partner websites like Travelocity.com and Orbitz.com. We sell these travel products both individually and as part of packaged trips to our target customers located primarily in the United States. We also offer access to travel news, travel weather, travel delays, security alerts and other information of interest to travelers on our website.

Although there is currently more revenue to be earned from Baby Boomer travelers today than Gen Xers or Digital Youth, that won’t be for long, according to research conducted by TIA’s new strategic partner, DK Shifflet & Associates. Gen X travelers have been on a faster trajectory than their older boomer colleagues as far as growth in hotel room-nights goes.

The Office of Travel and Tourism Industries (SOURCE: U.S. Department of Commerce, ITA, Office of Travel and Tourism Industries, "In-Flight Survey," May 2005. http://tinet.ita.doc.gov/) produced a report showing that there were 27,351,000 total U.S. Residents visiting overseas destinations in 2005, with 22,373,000 or 81.8% of those total overseas visitors doing so for Leisure as well as visiting Friends and Relatives. Applying 24% youth/student travelers to the total overseas visitors shows that there are approximately 5,369,520 youth and student travelers who went abroad in 2005.

Competing and Related Titles

There are literally thousands of travel guidebooks published around the world. A quick visit to your local bookstore is likely to confuse and overwhelm a would-be reader with the plethora of “me-too” travel books. Most of the existing works focus on basically the same thematic formats which bludgeon the reader with statistics, facts and maps.

The JOAL guidebook is different because each chapter tells a unique and compelling story, all immersively tied to the visual anchors of that week’s episode on video, as well as logically and easily navigated on the web. The guidebook is designed to be the back-pocket easy reference for the young adult traveler’s favorite episode. For those traveler’s who were mesmerized by the events portrayed on the show, the guidebook will insure that they know exactly where to go and what to do if they want to replicate that experience.

The JOAL guidebook is part of a comprehensive social networking strategy designed to foster loyalty only associated with high affinity groups. The traditional TV Travel Show Industry (discussed later in more detail) and the Travel Guidebook Industry have missed a fundamental connection which we address because we are creating a Primary Affinity Group. There are signs of this emerging market trend to focus on the Young Adult Travel market, for example:

• YoungMoney.com (http://www.youngmoney.com/) has targeted the Young Adult market demographic, but treats travel as a narrative adjunct for the traditional task list of articles like; dealing with theft while traveling, top safety travel tips, save money while traveling and other equally non-compelling topics.

• Student Travel Association (http://www.statravel.com/) targets the right audience, but regurgitates the same old tired travel information; the world's largest student and youth travel agency, beats any price…wow, what a difference! They get you (student, teachers & anyone under 26) the cheapest, most flexible flights and top-rated accommodations.

• Student Universe (http://www.studentuniverse.com/) is basically a repackaged reseller of online booking and reservation systems linked in from other providers.

• Student Traveler (http://www.studenttraveler.com/) comes a little closer, but still doesn’t hit the mark.

Special Marketing and Promotional Opportunities

Embedded Advertising (branded alliances) is becoming more and more sophisticated. Theatrical release of the most recent James Bond movie embedded everything from Omega watch advertising to Ford. The restaurant chain Cheesecake Factory now embeds advertising from sponsors in their menus! We are proposing a novel approach to partner with our publisher and to obtain upfront embedded advertising from select Product Sponsors.

Seven main Product Sponsorship areas of focus (not including ancillary product placements) are priorities for SIP operations: Airlines, Hotels, Rental Cars, Search Engines, Computers, Beverages and Clothing. Please see the Product Partners section for more details about each of these opportunities.

In addition to the Product Sponsorship, we are working with a highly specialized Media Services organization which is helping us prepare a sophisticated and comprehensive viral and hyper distribution marketing strategy.

Most 18-year-old students, our Digital Youth, entering the graduating class of 2010 this fall were born in 1990. They grew up with a cell phone in one hand, a mouse in the other and a computer screen as part of their worldview. They learned to surf the internet as they learned to read. While they were still in their cribs, the 20th century started to close as the Berlin Wall came down, the Soviet bloc disintegrated, and frequent traditional wars in Latin America gave way to the uncontrolled terrors of the Middle East. For them: Billy Carter, Lucille Ball, Gilda Radner, Billy Martin, Andy Gibb, and Secretariat have always been dead. This year’s entering students form a generation that has always been ‘connected’ and is used to things happening in ‘real time,’ like live satellite coverage of revolutions and wars, instant messaging and movies on demand. They expect solutions for every problem, from baldness to diseased organs. To the chagrin of traditional media outlets, they’ve developed their own generational means of communication.

HyperDistribution: a distribution channel which is even more efficient than broadcasting. If you don’t know what HyperDistribution is, then you don’t know about YouTube, Facebook or Twitter. If you’ve never checked out online content forums and social media sites like Digg, Reddit, StumbleUpon, Del.icio.us and Newsvine, then you’ll need to explore those to understand what’s going on.

Recovery...again...really?

Reading the announcement from the Fed in the latest L.A. Times article by Don Lee titled, "Federal Reserve leaves interest rates near zero" and reflecting on the Feds extraordinary stimulus measures it is amazing to me that we continue to see unemployment rising and they continue to try and support the notion that we are in a recovery. The reality is we are facing the very real prospect of hyperinflation. Here's why;

Look at what's happened to the dollar...record lows...which completely foretells inflation at a minimum and likely hyperinflation. Unemployment has gone UP almost 2 percentage points since the stimulus was put in place, so how does that support that "economic activity has picked up."

Ask the millions of Americans without jobs if they feel like there has been any kind of "leveling out?" Not likely. The duplicity of how the panel can immediately follow a false positive statement with the reality that "economic activity is likely to remain weak for a time" completely bursts whatever bubble of optimism they were trying to portray. How these supposed experts can seriously submit that they have somehow forestalled an economic calamity is sheer lunacy.

The reality is, just as during the Great Depression, the market meddling and mindless manipulation by the Fed to "do something...do anything" has in fact only temporarily confused the market and in that confusion merely diverted a trickle of a flow that is soon to be followed by a crushing torrent of true market correction.

There is a flood coming, pent up and boiling. Just like with Mother Nature, the raw correction of the natural markets will not be put down and no amount of intervention or "stimulus" is going to prevent what is as natural as the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
 
The wheels were long ago put in motion and the consequences cannot be put aside. There will be a correction and we have not seen it yet. There are undisclosed foreclosures at a level that will shock the country when the reality is revealed. The ramifications of the coming collapse, not only a further collapse in the already battered residential markets, but the even bigger implosion of the commercial real estate markets. Shortly after that will come the collapse of the dollar once our population realizes that the financial market has not corrected.
 
People do not comprehend that there have been 94 bank failures so far this year, with over 200 projected failures in total for 2009. That means we are going to see over a hundred more bank failures in the 4th quarter of 2009. Along with these failures will come a vortex of consequences and just like water down a drain, unstoppable. We are about to be witness to the creation of "Ghost Malls" that become problematic for cities trying to secure these new wastelands of retail glutony.

The reality is we need to allow the markets, as painful as it may be, to go through the inevitable correction. It is only in this negative painful learning experience of the true market correction that we will really understand what it is going to take to get back on the road to a sustainable recovery. I am the ultimate optimist and I believe in the power of our nation to overcome these market setbacks and to ultimately prevail in the preservation of the quest for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I am just also a realist in that nothing ever comes for free, most of all freedom.

There is no doubt we are all changed forever and things will never be the same. You can throw out the old rules of the pie chart asset distribution for wealth management as those days are gone. There's not going to be a rebound to what we knew, and the paradigm shift isn't clear as to what the rules are going to be going forward, but we know that what used to work won't function anymore. Regardless of your enterprise, we all intersect with finance, whether borrowers, lenders or new ventures looking for investors. My personal brand is that I am cognizant of financial issues which are collateral to the running of any business. How you view your potential interaction with me is going to be a function of what you believe I understand about finance which is a reflection of my overall business acumen.

We are in the Eye of the Hurricane

By Mid to Late October... It will Not feel like a Recession but rather a Depression!

Here are the reasons why...

#1. We're about to see the Largest Bulk, of the "option arm-risky Loans" written by the banks, Re-adjust from a Fixed-- "Teaser-rate" to a Variable rate.

Home owners will go from a 4.25-4.5% interest rate, to 8-10% (Libor rates). People will No longer afford their mortgage payment! Foreclosures Will Skyrocket!..

Banks will Not have equity (payments) coming in...They're going to Fail!

#2. Banking system is Under water; according to the FDIC website, we have already seen more than Three times as many banks Fail this year, than the last 10 years put together... Banking Holiday??

The FDIC has published information about yet another "stimulus" plan called Foreclosure Prevention Initiative which you can read about by clicking the above link.

#3. Unemployment is rising; many prominent economist believe Real unemployment is closer to 15%... At the height of the 1930s Depression, unemployment hit 18%...we're almost there!

#4. Housing is being artificially kept from crashing by Banks, whom are holding onto foreclosed properties, Only releasing a small amount of inventory.. They don't want to Flood the regional market with excess inventory.. Hence; Crashing Prices even further!

Nevertheless, foreclosures are rising ...They will have to release inventory at one point!

#5. The FEDS continue to bailout the banks by Buying "Toxic" Mortgage Backed Security, for both residential & commercial loans. Plus, the auto industry by their creative "Cash for Clunkers" program. Not to mention, the FEDS are Now Buying their own Bonds, at the T-Bill Auctions... China doesn't want our Debt/Bonds anymore...Who can blame them?

Ladies and Gentlemen, the writing is on the wall.

It's about to get Really Bad, Really Quick!

Questions for David Barr (FDIC Spokesperson):

Some industry analysts are predicting more than 200 bank failures in 2009. Does that seem like a reasonable number?

Predicting failures from the outside is a difficult thing to do. Last year we had 25 failures. To go back to when we had more than 25 failures in a given year you'd have to go to 1993, when we had 50. In 1992, we had 181.
