How to brand yourself online

Here are some points about branding online and how one can do it quickly, easily and almost for free:1. Get a dotcom or dotcoza, such as this one (nicharalambous.com). Some others, daveduarte, mikestopforth, vincentmaher, matthewbuckland, justinhartman.2. Get Linkedin3. Get on to FaceBook4. Find people with established personal brands and latch on to them like a cub to its mother.5. This is the big one, Start your own company (doesn't matter what that company does, just start it).I might be taking the piss, I might be serious, it depends on your outlook, these things have at some point or another helped me and others I know. However some of these points have also been the downfall for some I know. So take caution when moving through the perils of personal branding. It is a cutthroat industry filled with many people. Some who are actually better than you.
