Yay, Google indexed my career!
I’ve used the same user ID (bigyahu) for just about everything I’ve signed up for online since 1996. Now you can find out how that happened and why it turned out to be a good thing for me professionally on www.bigyahu.com.
There are links to my personal and professional background and a photo for the curious.
My latest series of business cards from Moo.com are printed with “Just google ‘bigyahu’” underneath the contact details.
Now, when I give someone my card, they can google me (go and try finding me amongst all the other guys called “Alan Jones” if you’re wondering why it had to be “bigyahu.”) Thanks to the indexing power of Google and the archiving power of teh intertubes, anyone who googles “bigyahu” will have clear evidence that (a) I’ve been doing this stuff for a very long time; and (b) I practice what I preach.
My personal brand is coming along nicely. What are you doing to develop your personal brand? Call me if you need some advice.
