My Branding.
Branding is making Yourself known and recognized by people in
general.
This includes people you are advertising to as well as the many
people you will meet while working online.
Branding includes Your name, Your site, Your picture, and Your
Alias if used for surfing traffic exchanges or using safe-lists. The
things that make you more then just a faceless number or an Alias
name with no connection.

Branding includes Your name, Your site, Your picture, and Your
Alias if used for surfing traffic exchanges or using safe-lists. The
things that make you more then just a faceless number or an Alias
name with no connection.
This is a very important process which will become very easy
shortly after overcoming the initial shock of putting "you" out there
for the world to see.
Once you do you will start to see a dramatic change in your results
and your relationships with like minded people in the Online Industry
simply due to the fact people will begin to know that you are a real
person, become more aware of who and what you do and of course
an element of trust.
Just a quick example: You want to purchase a new T.V. Upon
arriving at the store you are asked by a complete stranger with no
name tag or uniform and for some odd reason dark sunglasses on if
you want to buy something?
Lets flip this a little, You arrive and are greeted by a salesperson in
uniform with a clearly visible name-tag with Dave Nicholson
(whoops I know that name) printed on it and surprisingly he is not
wearing sunglasses he looks somewhat familiar and well obviously
works in the store.
Now I am not sure about you but without even speaking about a T.V.
Model I am going to go out on a limb here and guess just like me you
are much more likely to consider purchasing from Dave then the
rather mysterious stranger.
Of course this is blown a little out of proportion but the whole point is
the Store did a very wise thing which not only increases their sales it
also helps Dave make sales. What did they do? They branded Dave
Nicholson as their trusted employee hired to represent them and
their products.
In case you haven't noticed yet I did some shameless branding of
myself in there too.
This does makes a difference in no matter what you do and
especially online.
I personally have Paul Kinder (Traffic Splash/Affiliate Funnel)
and Cindy Battye (Daily Niche Idea) to thank for opening my eyes
wider to this.
I have a very common name so I was Branding Mansa as my Alias
and still do to this very day which is fine but it was pointed out that I
should duel brand myself for example in the Affiliate Funnel
Conference room I changed my name from "Mansa" to "Dave
Nicholson (Mansa)"
You owe it to yourself to attend a live Conference there as some
amazing people there to help you and ask for nothing in return. You
can attend a 100% free live web based conference by clicking here
Affiliate Funnel There are 2 to 3 a week please see site for dates and
times.

This is easier then you may think.
1) If you have a site get your name on there. It still amazes me how
many people fail to do this.
Honestly if in your eyes it is not good enough to put your name on
you may want to consider some changes.
Some may not like my site or style and some absolutely love it.
One thing is for sure you will see my name all over it. The same
should go for yours.
2) A recent Picture of YOU. For some this is a very hard bridge to
cross. Personally I swear cameras hate me. If they could snarl I am
sure they would at me lol. But none the less my picture is out there
and on quite a few places on this site where I consider appropriate.
No it is not on the Home page nor every page within as to me that is
just over doing it although no harm in having it there just a personal
preference to keep it where I believe it should be such as thank you
pages which you will see an example of further down this page.
I say a recent picture as this is the best policy as people would like
to see who they are talking to dealing with not their pet or a picture
of them as a child. Yes I am sure we all looked more attractive when
we were younger, had more hair and maybe a few less battle scars
but in all honesty I would rather see you as you are today not 10
years ago ;-)
If you require some help with your picture Resizing, Touch-up,
Hosting I will do my best to help you out. Just send me a message
from this page Picture and state in note that from Branding page
and all will be free of charge as a prezzie to help you get going :-)
3)Traffic Exchanges are a great place to start as many have
Branding options where you can upload your picture that can be
used on Rotators, Splash pages, Profiles and more.
The first I would highly recommend is Traffic Splash
Where the have lots of branding options and an excellent Rotator
you can add your picture and name to a very visible advertising
means that can be used in almost any other Traffic Exchange as
well.
The second I would highly recommend is Start Xchange Here your
picture is displayed on the bottom of the page when you sites are
shown as well as a profile and forums there is also a live chat where
you can get to know some very nice people. Please do not try to
promote your site or programs in chat as against the rules and the
chat is a social / branding option for the surfers.

What is Branding?
Why Is It Important?
Starting The Process.
Why So Many Don't Brand Themselves.
I am sure there are as many reasons people choose not to Brand
themselves. The most common I have come across are listed below:
1) Unsure of How, Why or What Branding is. In other words haven't
been to this page yet ;-)
2) Self conscience of themselves or of their picture.
3) Not confident in the products or services they are advertising.
4) Scared of Identity theft which is rather silly as there is a lot more
information about people on the Internet then their name and picture
so why let that hold anyone back.
By all means protect yourself as anyone should but by Branding
yourself you are not putting yourself at risk.
Using common sense will go a long way.
I would avoid using your phone number.
If you are going to use a copy of your signature make sure to alter it
from your real personal/financial use signature.
5) New to working online and have yet to understand the value.
6) Simply just to Shy.
I am sure a thousand other reasons but none that I myself can justify.

Duel Branding
First off this has nothing to do with cloning yourself or split
personalities lol
Actually it is branding your actual self and an Alias such as :
Mansa = David Nicholson or David Nicholson = Mansa
The reason for an Alias is well it is a lot shorter and Aliases are used
as sign-up names and or affiliate links. So it only makes sense to
brand both and be known as both.
This can be easily accomplished by signing your e-mails with your
alias in brackets.
When talking to people in chat for example your alias will show up
but introduce yourself as your real name.
Sign forums and blog posts with name and alias in brackets.
While Duel Branding is not required, I personally highly recommend
it so people can relate your advertising back to you.
