I am learning more about marketing, and how to advertise successfully. The most important point is that the marketing and advertising is done of me and my qualities and abilities to build myself up as a brand. What are the mylotter's thoughts about marketing of self?

I would have to admit, I'm a bit weary about marketing myself. That can be because I am inexperienced and that I prefer to be flexible towards choosing what it is that I want to be a part of. In another respect, the long list of choices is too tempting to choose only one.
I do have to say, in learning how to market well, you learn where your strengths are. This can help in the long run to choose your niche. As for branding, I have not build up enough of an image to comment on how I would brand myself. I find that it's better to be flexible and know when, where and how to act upon the right moment.
Think of it as a stock market, know when to cash out when you can.

I'm just tweaking my thoughts ever so slightly as suggested by an article I just read. It says to start thinking in terms of making everything you do be a positive step toward buiding the brand YOU.

You, I think can be many things, good, bad, nice, sad, you can take on many shapes and forms. I think if you think about it literally, you is an aspect of action, it's isn't you any more but your action. Your action depicts you and that's where you can market with. You can market with actions but I think not really you. Kind of confusing isn't it? I don't know, think about it, it's kind of contradictory too. I can't make up my mind if my action is stronger than me or myself than my actions as they need each other.

marketing yourself is a good thought nowdays but you have to be bit careful about it as instead of increasing your strature it could hamper you also.Adverting can be a good thing but if we avertise for wrong products they can ruin our business very easy.So be careful affliates.
