I often read what other bloggers have to say about blogging and what they say is really good.
This week I present 5 great posts on how to build your brand for your blog.
Creating a brand is crucial for your blog as it allows other people to recognise and identify you. Think of popular brand names such as McDonalds and Nike, and think about what you know about them and their brand names. If you see the Golden Arches or fast food you think of McDonalds. If you think about shoes or a tick, you think about Nike. What do your readers think of you when they read your blog or your your name?
So how do you build up your online brand. I have gathered some 5 posts that can help you.
