Every time I tell a non-twitter user I am on twitter I get asked the questions “Why are you on twitter?”
I am a twitter user because I am building a personal brand for myself. So what is personal branding?
Dan Schawbel describes personal branding as” the process by which individuals and entrepreneurs differentiate themselves and stand out from a crowd by identifying and articulating their unique value proposition, whether professional or personal, and then leveraging it across platforms with a consistent message and image to achieve a specific goal. In this way, individuals can enhance their recognition as experts in their field, establish reputation and credibility, advance their careers, and build self-confidence.”
This of course it not the only reason why I am on twitter. Currently I have a blog www.hayzelcriollo.wordpress.com and I use Twitter and Facebook to increase traffic to my blog. I also received feedback which allows me to improve my blog and find interesting topics to talk about. It has also become a networking tool as well as a form to stay connected to the world.
