The best part of branding yourself is an expert is that the traffic you receive to your website(s) is more targeted than if you market using other techniques.

Branding techniques include article writing, blogging, social marketing, and forums. What these techniques allow you to do is display your expertise on your topic and show others how you and your products may solve their problems.

The key to getting the most from these techniques is to combine them into a cohesive plan. The way to do this is to do a little of each one each day.

For example, one of the first things you want to do is to start your blog. There are tons of blogging platforms out there, but the best way to blog is to use a self hosted solution with your own domain. It makes you look more professional.

Now the thing you need to understand here is that owning your own domain and blog makes you look more professional than if you sign up for an account with a site like Blogger or Wordpress.

Set up your blog and then write several posts to get it started. Optimize it for the search engines, submit it and also submit to blog and RSS directories. Ping your blog regularly to let these directories know that you have updated your blog.

Next, write articles. Use these articles to promote your blog as well as promote your products.

When first starting out, try to write at least one article per day. The more articles you write and submit to the article directories, the faster you will start getting traffic and also the more traffic you will get.

Also, try to submit to as many article directories as you can because this will help you build backlinks to your blog and websites and increase your rankings in the search engines.

Also, post your articles on your blogs and recycle your content. Make it convenient for your readers to read your content.

Once you have started your blog and you're writing articles regularly, start with either forum marketing or social marketing.

Social marketing is a more advanced form of forum marketing because it's Web 2.0. This means it is more interactive. You may use videos, applications, and other ways to connect.

Sites you may want to consider are Facebook, MySpace, Hi5, Friendster, as well as topic specific sites like Linked In.

Remember, social marketing is time consuming so choose the sites you market on carefully. Market consistently to get the most from your efforts.
