Overview

If you can’t be found on a Google search, then you don’t exist is the new motto for job seekers, search firms and aspiring professionals. The entire thrust of business and consumer marketing today is online. Why would it be any different for professional self-marketing?

• Identify and develop the unique components of your branded profile to use online and off
• Find out how to extend online brand and network using social networking tools like blogs, YouTube, podcasting
• Discover the 10+ top social networking business sites, their target global markets and compared benefits and features
• Enhance your brand visibility, specifically on Linkedin, and to reach out to make successful connections
• See what it takes to raise your name to the top page on Google even if it is way too common or shared by famous people
