52. Want to Learn How to Create and Market your
Online Brand with Social Media?
I suppose I would describe my self as a child and product of the digital age.One of my first jobs was working for the first Australian personal computer company in 1985 that sold the first IBM personal computer. Ten years later I remember firing up my PC and connecting to the internet with a very slow modem and hooked into the web using one of the first search engines “Alta Vista”
1. Life has become more complicated. In the past it was simpler as we only had one brand to create and maintain. You real world and offline brand. You got up in the morning and showered , shaved, put on your makeup, did your hair, put on your clothes and you were ready for the world.2. Today we have another brand to maintain, nourish and prepare. We check our emails, logon to our Facebook page, review our Twitter updates, see what Blog posts are resonating and review and approve the comments.We want to know how many friend requests we have, what out family and friends and colleagues are doing online. Others will be checking how many hits have happened over night to the YouTube channel, LinkedIn connection invites and if you are on slideshare how many have downloaded or viewed your presentations.As they say “its complicated”3. My digital brand life was born over 4 years ago when I logged onto Facebook for the first time in 2008. And saw dozens of old friends and colleagues from decades past emerge on my screen. It was like magic and it was easy.Grandfather mobile story This reminds me of a quote from Arthur C Clarke the science fiction writer of Space Odyssey 2001 fame. He said that any mature technology is indistinguishable from magic.4. 6 months later I created a Twitter account and found it rather quirky, amusing and didn’t really know what to do with it and for the next few months I just sent the occasional tweet to a few friends and strangers around the world.5. A few months after that In March, 2009 I started my blog after being inspired by David Meerman Scott and his book the “The New Rules of marketing and PR”, Hubspot (an online blog and company online marketing platform based upon content marketing) A book by Time Ferriss “The 4 Hour Work Week” which gave insights into creating a digital life.6.

We have a fast changing world but the challenge is that humans are slow to change and our thinking and habits are still trapped in traditional habitual thinking and customs. A lot of senior managers are still acting as if we are in a industrial and traditional mass media economy,The “Big Gap” between how we read and consume our information and the way we market and advertise. Radio took 38 years to reach 50 million usersTV took 13 yearsInternet took 4 yearsiPod took 3 yearsFacebook added over 200 million users in less than one
