- You Absolutely Need to Get a yourname.com Domain – "If you skip this step your brand will have birth defects." Crazydomains is my favorite place to shop for domains.
Sure you can choose to use a tumbler or a wordpress.com account, but they don't support you having a domain without the extra tag in the url e.g. yourname.tumbler.com. This doesn't look professional and is more of an amateur blog rather than a serious personal branding effort.
Think of Celebrities, they all have their ownname.com domain, so this is what we want. Note: we are not aiming to get a brand recognition in the hollywood/bollywood industry, (unless your an aspiring actor/actress.) We are purely aiming to get brand recognition for the keywords of our Names and or our Industry, social media will do the rest.
- Yourname.com Domain will need its own Hosting – I recommend using highly competitive Hosting services. Because they are so competitive you get almost identical features and fortunately the cost is really affordable with shared hosting options. Some Hosting options provide free Domain name registrations, so checkout these links to find the most affordable options to suit your needs:
ZNETLIVE: Started in 2002 and is now India's top Web Hosting Company. Easy to use, 1-click automatic WordPress installation, and excellent customer service.
JustHost: One of the Global Hosting Giants, they offer everything under the sun at an affordable price, Highly recommended for your first site. I used them years ago and they never let me down.
Media Temple: I moved my Hosting here when i started some other websites. They offer a scalable solution, so when your Personal Brand becomes something much Bigger, Celebrity style, you have an easy option of increasing your sever size and bandwidth, to make sure it doesn't Crash when 500k people visit your site all at once.

Social Media Leverage – The best places to promote your personal brand and expand your network is Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter. These networks all act slightly different to each other, so its important when your getting started to focus on the one or two that you are most familiar.
Assuming your going to start with Facebook first, start by cleaning up your profile a little and focus on the image you want your brand to portray, (Hey just stop for a minute and realize that you have a Brand and that your brand can grow into whatever size brand you desire. Think and imagine for a moment 12 months into the future, after you have been plugging way at your personal brand with big dreams of designing an amazing life for yourself and your family, now picture your facebook account 12 months in the future of now, with 100, 1000 or 10,000 friends following YOU because they see the value of the stories and information that you deliver, see how all these people appreciate you and are inspired by the Passion that you bring to your industry on the internet.
