<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://tastingtheinternet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/branding.jpg" ><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1597" style="border: 0pt none;" title="branding" src="http://tastingtheinternet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/branding-300x168.jpg" alt="online branding" width="300" height="168" /></a>Are you trying to make a name for yourself in the online world? Do you know the best way to go about it? Do you know the importance of branding yourself, and getting your name out there everywhere you can? These are just some of the things you should be thinking about when you get started building an online presence. Whether you want to be known for your services, or for your products, becoming an online celebrity is a must for creating a successful business.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Many small business owners do not know where the best places to go to build their presence online. While there are the popular places such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, there are also tried and true ways to get the most from your time spent. No one has hours to waste just chatting, joining groups and trying to get to know people. If you learn the tricks and tips that can get you working in the right direction, you will begin to see the power of networking.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">You will never know where or how far your networking can take you. There are specific steps you can take to achieve your goals much faster if you only learn the secrets.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">If you want to learn from the best, you need to follow the leaders in your field. Search them out, listen to what they have to say, follow the steps they give, and create the success that they promise you can have if you work hard and follow their lead. Beware of so called leaders online today that are all talk and can’t truly back up what they say. They may want to mislead you by sugar coating things and paraphrasing other things to make themselves sound more important than they are. You don’t have the time to waste on these types of people.   You’ll know a true leader by their accomplishments and the quality of the information they share.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">One such leader who has proven her worth in many ways, is Joanne Quinn-Smith, <em>aka TechnoGranny. Joanne has four internet radio talk shows, and created a new media platform long before Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn were popular. She has been awarded </em><strong><em>the National Small Business Association (SBA) Journalist of the Year Award</em></strong> for her efforts in the new media. This marketing maven is searched out high and low for her remarkable speaking and teaching abilities.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Now for a limited time, you can grab a copy of her teleseminar “<strong><a href="http://socialmediatroom.com/previous-trainings/#Become%20an%20Online%20Celebrity"  target="_blank">Becoming an Online Celebrity</a></strong>” and learn how to make your personality shine through the crowd, building a platform where people will soon be seeking you out for your skills and talents. <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong> </strong></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Grab your copy now for just $17!</strong></span></span></p>

<p>They will make a day for just about anything!  I haven&#8217;t checked my <a href="http://sendoutcards.com/virtual"  target="_blank">Send Out Cards</a> system to see if there is a greeting card for this special day, but I will.  hehe</p>
<p>If I could get a different name what would I choose?  I&#8217;ve always liked Alexandria, I don&#8217;t know why really.  I don&#8217;t anyone with that name personally, but I&#8217;ve always liked it.</p>
<p>Lots of my online friends know me as &#8220;avirtualbiz&#8221; that&#8217;s my username on most of my social media profiles.  So I guess in a way, I have already gotten a different name.  In order to build up my brand name, I wanted people to know my business,  A Virtual Business Solution, through my username of avirtualbiz.</p>
<p>What about you?  Do you have a brand name? If not, today&#8217;s a good day to get one and starting marketing it for your business.</p>
<p>And if you just hate your birth name, go ahead&#8230;change it.  Today&#8217;s the day!</p>
<p>Hugs &amp; Kisses,</p>
<p>Alexandria (for today)</p>
