TNTJ December topic: What have you done to build your online brand?
Thanks to everyone who responded to last month’s topic, “If you had $1 million dollars to save journalism, what would you do?” Here is a list of all the posts:
- If I had a million dollars to save journalism: I’d invest it in people by Ed Walker
- The Power of Experience by Emily Kostic
- If I had three wishes, I’d ask for more wishes… by Sarah Jappy
- Build it up and Knock it Down by Michael Haddon
- If I had a million dollars… by Katie McPhillimy
- $1 million to ’save’ journalism? Try a billion… by Luke Appleby
- One million dollars would fund by Daniel Bachhuber
- A Newsroom Golden God by Adam Hemphill
- Penny for your thoughts? by Greg Linch (me!)
As with last month’s topic (credit: Adam Hemphill), December’s was decided democratically after submissions via Twitter and e-mail. After several great ideas, many of which we could use in the future, the winner was my suggestion:
How have you built your personal brand and marketed yourself online? Have your efforts been effective? If so, please give some examples.
In responding you could discuss blogging, microblogging and other social media platforms. Or a personal Web site. Or even how you purchased an ad on journalism industry sites announcing that you’re looking for a job starting in fall 2009. Hey, wait a sec…
Happy blogging!

Excellent topic, and some really excellent advice here. I’m extremely new to the blogging scene and am much encouraged by the existence of such communities as this. I’ve registered here and look forward to contributing myself. Keep up the good work, folks.
