I know of at least several people on the Internet who harps on and on about “Personal Branding” yourself as a travel writer. But I have to wonder if this is really all that neccessary. In fact I believe that if you produce high quality articles that people actually want to read then you are working on your “Personal Branding.”

I am a firm believer that good results only follows hard work. Therefore I strive to produce the best possible blog posts, articles or even tweets that would add meaning to my audience. I value my audience’s time so therefore I do not want to waste any time promoting anything that I deem to be unworthy.

You establish yourself in this field by every article you publish and every blog post that you submit. With each article and blog post you are establishing yourself and you are starting to work on your reputation. This is your personal brand. Of course you can help this along by having  a twitter, facebook, myspace and various other social media accounts but ultimately it all boils down to the work that you produce. if you produce crap and make yourself widely known then you make yourself famous for producing crap. This is not what you want to do obviously.
