Today's topic is '9 Ideas to Jumpstart Your Personal Brand Online' and the tools I talked about are listed with the tips: Create a branded background for your Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn account and make sure each account has the same look and feel.  Check out the Canva.com tool I mentioned to help create the images you need. Get your LinkedIn profile up to 100 percent complete.  Join Help A Reporter Out (it's free) and make it a daily habit to scan for journalists looking for someone to interview and quote with your expertise.

Offer it for free on your website or blog. Create a SlideShare presentation on a specific "how-to" topic and post it on your LinkedIn profile and/or website. Start using basic mobile marketing by integrating QR codes into your blog, business card and e-books that link to your digital assets that you have created.
