Recently the wife and I were watching Million Dollar Baby.
After we were done watching the Movie my wife went on the
Internet to see which Karate Kid Movie Hilary was in. It
turns out that doing an MSN search on "hilary swank" came
up with 190,231 Web Pages, Doing an MSN Search on
"mike makler" brought up 2,737 results. So 190,231/2,737
is 69.5. My Hilary Swank Rating or Swank Meter is 69.5
After Looking up other Popular Internet Figures who Brand
there Name and calculating there Swank Meter's it seems
that any Swank Meter under 19 is fairly good.
Name Branding is Important because it sets you up as an
Expert in your Field, Lets Do a Word association if I say
Golf, what is the first thing that Pops in your Mind. I
Bet it is probably Tiger Woods. Likewise if I say Hotel
Conrad Hilton or J. W. Marriott are 2 Names that have been
branded to Hotels. For a long Time A. L. Williams was Branded
with Life Insurance. Wouldn't you like to be Branded to
your Niche Market Like Bill Gates and Computers.
The Best way to become branded to a Niche Market is to
raise your Swank Meter. The More places online your Name
appears the better your branding efforts. The Question now
of course is how does one raise their Hilary Swank aka Swank
Meter rating? The Power of Viral Marketing is the best way
to raise one's Swank Meter. Below are 5 Viral Marketing
techniques you can use right now to Brand Yourself
1- Article Submission
