Personal Branding With More Exposures

About Me Banner
What do you think about the above AboutMe banner? About.Me is a cool personal branding service that gives you a one landing page to show off your info and link to many services you already have. The services include YouTube. Flickr, WordPress.com, Facebook, Twitter and so many more. I’ve decided to just add my personal blog and photography blog, Facebook, Twitter and Google+.

Although the service is free, it is still really buggy. I have to update my profile page many times in order to get it right. There seem to have some cache issues in their system. As you can see, you can simply link to many of your online profile, social networks and upload your own background image, which I’ve post on my HDR Cozumel Beach.

My purpose of using this service is to basically gain extra exposures. You know how important exposure is to the website. So this is definitely a great place to so. The catch is that you will have to spread the word out, otherwise, no one will know the page exist. You can find the page at About.me/Terence.Chang.

You can read the post at – Build Restaurant Website for FREE! Now I am taking that to the next level by adding photo gallery, direction and review page. So I was doing a favor to a local business friend to build a quick website at very low cost to drive instant traffic to the site.

Redbrick Pizza Gilbert is a well established pizza restaurant in the USA. The store in Gilbert and Chandler wants a website in just matter of few days. So I helped them put together a single page restaurant web site at first. Now the site has grown to multiple pages.

If you haven’t read my post about Facebook Fanpage Secret – Part 1, you can read that here.

I have been getting messages on Facebook asking me about the reasons to use invisible Facebook fanpage after I post Part 1 of the secrets.

The short answer is:  Control.

The longer answer is:  Drive traffic to your website and covert your visitors from Facebook on your website.

In part 1, I showed two examples of using invisible Facebook fanpage. Once shows the Facebook social search result of my blog posts. The other one shoes how local businesses were found on Facebook social search. Both search result will lead the visitors to the website directly. In other words, it potentially generates organic search result from Facebook to your website.
