How To Promote Your Personal Brand on SocialMediaV
If you’re looking to find companies and/or people to network with or if you’re looking to be found, SocialMediaV aims to help you with that. It’s a simple way to search for all types of brands whether large or small, as well as another great way of getting your name out there and promoting your hard work. Since building your brand is very important, SocialMediaV is a defintely a tool you’ll want to use.
Adding and setting up your brand on SocialMediaV is quite simple.
- Choose your type. What type of brand would you like to monitor?
- Enter your name, email, country and agree to the terms.
- Click the activation link in the email that you should receive instantly after clicking the submit button.
- Wait for another email confirming your account activation and also giving you your password.
- Now once logged in you’ll want to create your brand. To do this, click on “create brand” in the top right corner of the page.
- Enter the information asked for. If you are tracking a personal brand, the form will look just like the image below. As you can see, it’s pretty self explanatory.
- Next you’ll be able to add a photo and links to all of your social profiles that you’d like associated with your brand. If you have a lot of profiles like me, this could take awhile. You’ll need to pick a site from the drop down list on the left and then enter the URL on the right. The nice part is that once you pick a site it is removed from the list — making it easier to keep up with the sites left on the drop down list.
Once you get through that, you’ll see your brand listed at the top of the home page along with your photo, title, country, and a few links. Note: It took me about 20 minutes to add all of my links, after which they all seemed to “disappear” after I clicked submit. Not sure what happened there.
You’ll see four tiny icons under your picture that are great for networking purposes. The first one is a contact form (which helps protect your email), the second one seems to take you to a blank page right now, the third one creates a little widget for promotion and the fourth one a sharing and bookmarking widget from AddToAny.com.
The widget that they provide is extremely tiny but it definitely will come in handy for email and forum signatures (that allow html), blog sidebars, etc. It’s also nice that anyone can use your widget. You never know, someone may be nice enough to help promote your brand.
So, what is your take on SocialMediaV? Useful or not?
