I am happy to be able to provide good value to my readers. Mell, regarding your question, there are quite a few tools for you to use in the area of personal branding for any career prospect. I am normally not very fond of quick fixes so I assume that you know yourself and your value well enough to know that this career is really what you want. First I would recommend you to really define who your target groups are, what papers do they read, what social media channels, can you find and follow them on twitter, etc. Knowing your goal and your target groups, you can now lay out a strategy for targeting these groups and build a brand precence amongst them. This could be one way to do it, but you have to find the way that is right for you. Start following the news in the industry, become someone that really understand the industry and the trends. First then start talking about the trends, the news and the industry on twiiter, maybe set up your own blog about it. Make sure that you have a LinkedIn profile that reflect your goals, integrate your blog and twitter with LinkedIn. By now you should have an interesting enough profile to start connecting with the target group both on LinkedIn as well as in person. Don't be afraid to ask for advise or ask them to contribute with their knowledge to the blog, providing that the blog has been sucessful in attracting the right readers. This way you may establish personal connections with the target group in a non intrusive way, show you knowledge and if done right creating an interest in you as a person to work with. Good luck and please feel free to contact me with your strategy if you'd like some feedback. - Ola Rynge Thank you for the great feedback on this post.

By now you should have an interesting enough profile to start connecting with the target group both on LinkedIn as well as in person. Don’t be afraid to ask for advise or ask them to contribute with their knowledge to the blog, providing that the blog has been sucessful in attracting the right readers.

This way you may establish personal connections with the target group in a non intrusive way, show you knowledge and if done right creating an interest in you as a person to work with.

Good luck and please feel free to contact me with your strategy if you’d like some feedback.
