Over the years I have learned some great ways to build brands with little or zero dollars. One important way to build your brand is by putting your personality in your marketing and branding. How can you do this? Well, I used youtube to bring over 200,000 people to my website in one month. I consider myself to be something of a comedian so me and my partner put together a cartoon that featured hip hop artist 50 cent. We hired an artist to draw the cartoon and my partner did all the voices. Luckily he is a fantastic actor and he nailed every voice perfectly. We then loaded the cartoon on youtube and we became instant celebrities. The cartoon was placed on thisis50.com by 50 cent himself and we received 50,000 hits in just one week of the cartoon. Many popular blogs took notice and posted the video also. We ending bringing over 200,000 people to our website in one month. This was an example of being in the right place at the right time because thisis50.com was just started and they were looking for content to place. Now they are receiving millions of hits a month so it would be a bit harder to get content placed on the website now. This is a perfect example of us putting our personalities to work. This idea may not work for you but take a look at what is in your reach. Do you play an instrument? Do you have a pet that would make a funny video? Find something in yourself and post it to youtube, you never know you may be the latest youtube sensation. Tips on putting your personality in your branding and marketing

Permalink Comments (0) Will Chris Brown's run in with the law ruin his career?Posted Friday, March 06, 2009 (261 days 12 hours ago.) Viewed 33 times. Chris Brown recently was arrested because he hit his girlfriend at the time Rihanna. Not only did he hit her but reports say he threatened to kill her. Chris Brown is being roasted in the media and he has already lost two endorsements. The main question is, will this ruin his career? Many think so, but he does have a chance if he can prove that it was just a terrible mistake. Domestic violence Women have been fighting domestic violence for years and we have seen many celebrity relationships in the public eye fall apart because of it. Tina Turner and many others. There are many organizations that help women that may have experienced domestic violence. For many domestic violence is the toughest to deal with because many women depend on the person that is abusing them. They usually are afraid to press charges because they are not sure where they will go. Rihanna is totally different from the average because she is a very successful singer so there is no reason why she would have to stay in an abusive relationship. Chris Brown's career Chris Brown has been very successful in his career and he was being called the next MJ. Now, he will be considered a bad boy much like a Bobby Brown. Domestic violence against women is a hard thing to come back from. Many people have pulled Chris Brown's records and want to use him as an example of what not to do. It's not that people hate Chris Brown its just they need someone to make an example of. They want to show men what happens when they hit on a women. Don't do it is the message that society wants to send to future abusers. Will this ruin Chris Brown's career, well it could. The only way he can come back from this is if he started an organization for battered women and helped other women that were battered. This would make people understand that he is really trying to change.
