The reason that I ask is because I like to get started as an online marketing consultant but I see so many people trying to do the same thing... 2. Is there room to get in now without having TONS of experience in IM..and what is your suggestion on differentiating yourself from others from others? 3. Knowing what you know now, how would you get started online and why? ie., Week 1... Week 2... Week 3... This probably won't be a short answer and if you've already written about it, just send me there..otherwise..really looking forward to your response. Chung Hi Neil,

The steps of personal branding was very helpful, but I believe certain things listed can be done in a single day. Such as day 5 and 6; I can start a blog in the morning (pre-planning on layout and such and go from there) and then with the blog in mind plan future steps that I can follow. Doing this would cut down my time ratio and leave me with extra time to focus on things that need attending to such as advertisement. If days 5 and 6 are done in a single day then I would have an extra whole day I could invest in improving the layout, design aspects (if any) and try to make it easier for others to read and understand… just a little thought I am currently doing about personal branding in university for a module called personal and professional development, so far I have been finding this the hardest of all but after reading your 7 steps, I seem to understand it a little better and I have realised it is not as hard as I thought it was.
