How To Build A Successful Personal Brand On The Internet: 2 Podcast Interviews

Posted by timothysykes on Wed 20th of Aug, 2008 12:22:32 PM

Rule #1: dedication…I’m doing this post on a layover in the Toronto Airport!

Building a successful blog/internet brand ain’t easy. Nine months into this game, ‘m still workin’ 16-18 hour days…and lovin’ every second of it. Check out THIS awesome near-hourlong podcast interview I did with Mixergy.com, a site that interviews “web visionaries” as we discussed what’s worked (PennyStocking, TIMalerts), what hasn’t (TIMbucks, TIMaffiliates ) and what you need to do to create your own successful personal brand, if you’re into that kind of thing. Mixergy’s founder Andrew Warner even did THIS snazzy video intro.

You like that? Yeah you did. Here’s the 2nd interview:

…which is more focused on how to make $ off that brand…with master blogger Johncow.com. Check out that solid podcast interview HERE. He even was nice enough to type up a 22-page transcript of everything we said which you can read right HERE!

  1. Thanks Tim. Since I first came to your site just a couple months ago, I’ve always been curious what your site looked like on day one…pleaaasse share!!!!

    BTW - FOUR 2.30/2.37 as I write … how you like them apples Mr. “anyone buying FOUR here is a moron”…yes, I was a buffoon…for selling yesterday for only $200 profit…woulda been $900 today

  2. …sometimes in trading, as in life, it pays to go against the herd…the herd is always wrong….surely you know something about this Mr. philosopy major…impress me by telling me whom I’m refering to, in philosphical circles

  3. FOUR 2.37/2.45 …pleaaasseee someone tell me they followed my ALEXAlert yesterday to buy FOUR at $1.50 ….now up over 50% … since I scwered it up a la Tim and sold too soon.

  4. Enjoy your vacation Mr. Tim, sounds like you deserve it!

    What happened to TIMBucks and TIMAffiliates?

  6. We’ll be giving away prizes shortly to the top 10 timbucks holders before we launch the new site in Sept… Affiliate program is still active… no plans to take it down.

  7. So what you’re saying

  8. Is I should gather all the TIMbucks now

  9. ’cause pretty soon they’re going to be useless? :)

  10. Tim, I will finally be funding my TOS account probably Friday of this week- when I signed up several months ago I didn’t list you as the referrer (I didn’t know it mattered at the time)- if you think I (or you) can get them to change it, you’re more than welcome to take the referral bonus.

  11. LOL - yes… gather them up.. but I’m sure you could have said that in 1 comment rather than in 3!

  12. I don’t know

  13. what you’re talking about!?!?

  14. And Tim, TOS says you’ll need to e-mail them my account number after I fund to let you claim the bonus. I’ll let you know after I fund if you’re interested?

  15. FOUR closed at 3.00 … up 100% from my buy call yesterday:

  16. Bob (VC) I’m going to write a scrip tonight to post a fun fact every 2 minutes to be top timbucker

  17. ALex, what was your basis for saying (on the post you refer) that shorts didn’t covered on the first bounce?

    Was it gut feeling or there is some service that shows updated short interest?

    Either way, congrats on doubling your money

  18. I am sooooo tempted to short four tomorrow !!!

    should be plenty of borrowable shorts after these squeeze (assuming it was a squeeze)

  19. Don’t go too crazy Investorslive- the gifts are probably going to be autographed pictures of Tim anyway!!!!!! :)

  20. Im loving these podcasts!

  21. Actually - with our Reebles.com sponsor - we’re working on getting you some decent prizes… more to come shortly.

  22. when are you going to post some trades pallian

  23. oh yea, I want PallianAlerts

  24. Bob (VC) you are right, I’ve halted production on the script

    I hope you pick some good ones Pallian

  25. Ahh… I’ll trade shortly… was looking at a few today but then got too busy with other stuff… and also - new post up: http://www.timothysykes.com/ti.....like-this/

  26. man, im bumed your scrapping tim bucks, think its a great idea for your audience

  27. well - we’ll do a poll in Sept and see how the results turn out for the timbucks program… if there is a demand, we’ll continue it and start giving away some real prizes soon…

  28. Thanks for letting me interview you Tim. I think anyone who wants to build a personal brand online needs to start by downloading that interview and studying how you did it.
