Dear Friends,

Welcome to the first edition of The PR Maven® monthly newsletter.

In this newsletter, I am offering techniques to build your personal brand by building your network of contacts. The goal of personal branding is for people to know, like and trust you so they want to do business with you, or just be part of your network.

I want to help you understand what it takes to be the individual people think of when they need whatever it is that you offer. Building a network of people who know, like and trust you is the key to building a strong personal brand for a lifetime.

Enjoy the content, and feel free to email me at nancy@prmaven.com if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions for future editions.

Have a great day, PR Maven® Nation!

Best,

Nancy

Last week I was in Cancun, Mexico for a meeting of my agency network. While I was there, I went on an expedition to tour the Mayan ruins, and I even swam in a cave filled with stalactites. Now that was memorable! Thanks to Herb Stratford for the photo!

Tip of the Month

Since I have been working in PR for many decades, nearly four as a matter of fact, I know what it takes to combine online and in-person networking to build a personal brand. Because online branding is so important, relevance and recognizability come down to searchability, your presence in a Google search. People searching for your name or business want to see your expertise and authority. They want to see thought leadership. They want to see content demonstrating your unique know-how, from LinkedIn posts and tweets to news stories and op-ed columns.
