Last night, myself along with Dave Iannone (@ravin_dave) gave a talk to the CT Press Club on how to build your personal brand in the online space using social media. Furthermore, as a writer, we touched on how can you leverage your following to create opportunities for yourself and your career.

Dave and I both work at Colangelo Syergy Marketing on a few accounts together and had an excellent time imparting some knowledge on this eager-to-learn crowd.

The Slideshare presentation can be viewed and downloaded below. I have also put together a large list of links that dive deeper into the topics we toplined.

Feel free to contact me with any questions. Please share with your friends and enjoy!

After a few years of debating over what I could possibly put up on my own digital space, I figured that it should serve as a collection of all things “me”, both digitally and physically. I’ve been using Twitter for the last month or so, and have realized that it is wonderful for a few reasons: 1). it aggregates all of the RSS feeds that I produce from the various online communities I participate in (i.e. delicious, my info-blog The Interactivist, etc…) and 2). it acts as a great social networking platform.
