Think about Bill Gates, Donald Trumph, Oprah Winfrey, Adidas, Nike, Levi’s and the list go on…What do you think? For sure the millionaire brands right? Like a product, we(human) also need brand to stand out form the crowd and show off. You need brand!
Brand will give unique perception to yourself because yourself is unique. If we look to successful person around us, they have their own brand.
In order to success in making money online you need to brand yourself as well as your blog if you want to make money blogging.
Take a look to these established blogger :

- Carl Ocab – Everyone knows that this genius kidblogger know how to make money online since at 13 years old.
- Shoemoney – With his tagline skill to pay bills tell us that he has large income stream.
- John Chow – The miscellaneous rambling of a dot com mogul who make $40000 a month from a blog.

The list go on……
I give you guys one scenario…
In one company, A boss is finding someone to give promotion. Who will be boss choice?
A. Employee who has less self confident in communication, looks slow in his work, not dress up properly
B. Employee who work hard but not good in communication and always be shy when approaching a customer
C. Employee who looks smart, work hard, and have high confident in communication.
For sure the C worker. Employee C has show off his brand in a great way. While A and B show a weaker brand.
5 Tips On How To Create A Great Brand

1) What is your field?
Make sure it related to your field and that you look the part. If you want to be a successful internet entrepreneur, you must look smart, the way you write in your blog and everything about you must show a success of an entrepreneur. Don’t think you no need to dress up smart. Remember, to gain trust from your audience, at least one photo of yours must be include in your blog or site. So you need to look smart.
2) Be unique
Your brand must be unique in your field. A brand will not succeed if just copycat another brand.To find your unique, you need to know yourself and combine with your field. If you in internet marketing or blogging field then combine with it. I take an example of Carl Ocab, he was unique because at 13 years old he already make money online. He combine it with his field(blogging) to help people make money at home. And now everyone called him kidblogger.
3) Your communication
A brand will not established if we keep sitting down and don’t want to spread it. Brand is about message that want to deliver. Message that has been delivered is communication. Communication is not only mouth talk but it includes your message, your personality. In blogging, writing skill is the most important communication. Train your hand to write better, so can produce a good and unique article.
4) Continuous message
What is your message? Entrepreneur? Internet marketing? Make Money Online? Health? Message about your expertise! You need your own goal. And the most important.. deliver your message repeatedly. In blogging, you must set what kind of message do you want to deliver. If one day you want to write about technology then 1 month later you can’t write about health. It will make your readers confuse. It looks like you don’t have a motive.
5) What is your brand motive?
This is most important. After you read this post, make a cup of coffee, sit down and think about your brand. What is your objective a coming year? 3 years? 10 years? Your objective is your journey. If you think you want to brand yourself as an internet marketer there you go. With a great brand you will achieve your goal.

Being unique is not easy job. However you tried to be unique, you will find that in some way or another you are just an imitation of someone.

I agree.. Whatever we did we need a mentor to guide us. Of course we will be influenced by our mentor and a little bit our style is like him..but after that we only can find our originality.

Interesting article. Were did you got all the information from? Did you type it yourself or you copy it from elsewhere?
The article I wrote is based on my observation and my readings. One method that I learn to get a good idea to write is always keep a small book to jot down the information you get or whatever you learn so later you can refer back. It more like to jot down all the point that we have before we can write in full article. The advantage is we’ll never stuck when writing something. Hope this help you a little bit.
You have covered the fundamental & significant points very well in such small space. But it would have done more good, if you had combined the value of personality of blogger to its TA as platform for relationship building. I believe its significant point, what say?
Chris Peterson´s last blog ..Lesson on Time Management
It really feels good when you have Good Brand value of yours. One of the best ways to build your own brand name is to become associated with an expert in your niche. When your name becomes associated with other successful people, your brand will grow and people will begin to look at you as an expert.
Nice Post Fazreen.
