5 Simple Ways To Sell Yourself

If someone is willing to tee up your shot, why wouldn’t you seize that opportunity to swing away – to the best of your ability.

Willie Lightfoot had that opportunity this morning on @WCMFBreakroom. He whiffed.

He’s got the connections and the reputation to get create these opportunities and sell himself. I’d love to see Willie leverage these strengths and make something happen.

How could he have positioned his personal brand to the listeners? Here’s 5 simple social media optimization tips that would have made Willie’s tee shot land in the fairway rather than the bunker.

1. Crank up your LinkedIn profile – its the 5th most visited social networking site on the ‘Net with 42MM visits/mo.
2. Optimize your Facebook profile by adding LinkedIn buttons; create a custom Facebook username 12 Angry Men hd as well.
3. Set up a personal blog – Blogger Nighthawks video , Wordpress and Posterous are three easy to use, free examples -  add your LinkedIn profile & your blog links.
4. Create a Google profile. Google makes it easy to get your profile indexed.
5. Write a press release and submit it to a free online press service. Your brand will be indexed in the search engines within 24 hours.

It’s all about being prepared.
