Okay [email protected], it’s time you got up to date and became an active player in your own life. It’s time to take Brand You to the next level and produce a resource that explains your ins-and-outs.
It’s time you got a website, and there’s never been a better time to make one.
Why would you want a website? It’s the window to who you are that faces the public. As people go window-shopping, Googling your name, what will come up? Will it be a newspaper article of you being brought in on a DUI? I hope not. But you won’t know for sure unless you take that space and make it your own. If your personal website is QRWRQWKHðUVWSDJHZKHQVRPHRQH*RRJOHâV\RXUQDPH\RXQHHGWRFUHDWHPRUH content pronto.
A big part of that content is your website. By creating a website/blog, even through a free service like Blogger or Wordpress, you’ll automatically be in charge of where the conversation about you goes. You can write about what you want and if you stick to topics related to your personal brand you might rank for those as well.
At the very least, a website provides an online base that someone you met at a party RUDWDEXVLQHVVPHHWLQJRUZKHUHYHUFDQðQG\RXDWDIWHUWKHIDFW,WVD\VWRWKH world, ‘I take what I do seriously. Seriously enough to get my own website and beat those uncomfortable newspaper articles down in the rankings. Booya.’
