Trevor Young is a public relations (PR) warrior who uses social media to put money in the bank. He wrote a book titled, “microDOMINATION.” It describes how to leverage social media and content marketing to build a mini-business empire around your personal brand. Blogs, podcasts, and videos are some of the ways to participate in social media. If you are not sure where to start, then start a blog to share your knowledge and thoughts.

It is important to build an audience and community around your brand by providing social media content that is helpful, useful, and valuable. How is the information you provide going to help people? It is a matter of quality over quantity when it comes to content.

You need to attract people who are interested in your thoughts and beliefs. If they follow you, the people are the ones who determine leaders and experts. Your reputation is built over time. People will share your content and recommend you to others. Build your personal brand over a period of time, and that is when the opportunities start coming.

Today, marketing forces businesses to think about and listen to their audience: What’s in it for them when it comes to your products and business?
