What's Up STACKERS!
When people get on "Social Media", they tend to have a very hard time getting the attention that they need to promote themselves. With all the noise out there, you need to start "stand out" from the rest and having a brand is a must.
I created my brand @stackin about 10+ years ago, it was just a "word" I always used to display to keep "getting bigger" in anything I did and made it into my own philosophy. It's pretty crazy how the name "STACKIN" has exploded in my life. Every time when I meet people in huge conventions or big meetups, they all come to me and say, "Hey, you're that "STACKIN" dude that I see all over Social Media, you're popular". 🤣
So is creating a "Brand" important on Social Media? In my book yes it is! It's a great way to get your name out their and it helps keep people remembering who you are. So do you guys have a Brand? If not, you are missing out big time in my book.
Keep On STACKIN! 💞

A lot of people who join Steemit don't know how to brand themselves. Hell I didn't do it as well when I first started and I do marketing and branding for a living!
It all changed when I read your how to become a dolphin post and realize the need to brand myself, take the message and content of my post up a notch and network like crazy.
And although at almost 6 months I am not a dolphin yet but my goal is set and I am growing up and keep stackin that SP.
Thanks I have known today what makes one a dolphin. Thanks :D
Dang, I wrote that how to be a dolphin post last year lol... it’s ok, make 2018 the best and keep STACKIN that Steem, it’s only 5000 Steem to be a 🐬 😎
I have gone back and fourth on this myself. I ended up going with my middle name, JAQUITH.... It used to be a last name, now all the males in my family have the same middle name... My son is the last one to carry on the name though... I hope he has a son:-)
We're pretty much goin' the brand name route. :-)

Thanks, @stackin, for making a post about the value of doing this on social media.
promoting your name with post and blog on every social media could helps for making a brand.
Sooo, do you go by stackin or charles? This is like your code name.
So true about getting a good brand name. It took me a long time to come up with cooknbake. But it doesnt end there, of course, You also need to know how to promote yourself and be out there as much as you can on order to have your brand to be popular🤗
I love your posts! Keep on stackin, @stackin!! 😉
That is true @STACKIN, but in my little knowledge in business branding, I think you would want to build a brand with must be short, easy to pronoun and remember, eg; STACKIN, Lol. Imagine me using my real name like NTEOBONG, you won't even want to remember that a second time. I love your point though.
Meanwhile I like that artwork in your picture.
I am @geekis.
NTEOBONG is a cool name, that alone can be a brand lol
Arnold Schwarzenegger was told he would never make it in the movie industry because of his name, Now look at him!😀
I like the name Stackin more than Charles :D
Hey now! lol ... lots of people like my last name Fuchs 😂
Yea, Rad call man. I recently started attaching my full name along with all my branding stuff. I like how you have done that so well. Charles Fuchs. I know you by both.
Happy Money Man, Brandon Parker
A good question to ask ourselves. I expected my answer to be straightforward, but I'm going back and forth with myself about it. :)
My username here is my actual name. My profile has my full name on it. I intentionally chose to represent myself as myself with this account. The goal is to be as authentic as I can so that the relationships I build here are based on who I truly am. Repelling is just as important as attracting and if people aren't digging me they can move along. I won't have to try to guess what to do to keep followers or engagement.
On the other hand, I've been working to build a brand that is not based on my name. I try to keep that more neutral and professional.
I feel like I can have both but it's best for me to keep them separate. That way I don't have to worry about my quirkiness contaminating my business branding and I have a channel for somewhat unfiltered self-expression.

Very good points I tried to brand myself with just my name and its not catching on going to have to look internal a bit for what might be a good name to go with. Stackin fits you very well though KEEP STACKIN!!
You are so right and a name for your brand that is easy to remember is also helpful!
hey bro I do digital art and at the mo am doing free pieces on pages that I think would appreciate my style. if you could send me a picture that means something to you to my email I'll be happy to do a personalised piece for you. I'd appreciate if you could do a little post about it as well.

it was a very good and clever choice. and yes You are popular all over the place eheheh
Creating a brand is the best thing to do on social media : )
@stackin I always keep on Stackin' Silver........Nevada is The Silver State...
Honestly, @stackin is the best brand here on the platform! You have the best brand name here. ! Keep stackin Steem and SBD! I totally agree branding really counts a lot in social media! Thank you very much for sharing this @stackin! :)♥
This is awesome.
This is what I want to do. Establish a brand and make some money with it. Once I do that I can live that digital nomad life. :)

I think it's cool for and individual to be known by a particular name.
When that name is searched or called upon,all eyes or minds should be on that personality.
That’s some truth behind that 😎
I think any can do. It all depends on how you package and brand youself.
It has worked both ways for some people.
Although a brand is much better because you can delegate work to other people to manage it and you can pass it on to someone as inheritance etc.
When you die, if your brand revolves around your name then thats the end of that.Your name cannot be inherited. I hope that makes sense, keep on stackin!!You are the real MVP & a motivating factor to me @stackin
Wow, I’m an mvp? 😂.... Appreshhh lol
Hahaha...well, on here,sure, why not? Lmao.
You're so silly.
You should take it and run with it ;)
Branding is important and using something memorable is smart because it increases your visibility!
Just like me wearing sunglasses indoors is a brand in itself hahaha
Branding ourselves creates a legacy that even our children and grand children may earn a living from it. For example, the likes of Zig Ziglar, Jim Ron,these guys' names still exist on allover social media platforms eventhoughy their spiritual bodies nolonger exist. Thank you @ stackin for the information.
You just named the "Big Dogs", it took them a lifetime to create their own brand and it was well worth it. Jim Rohn is Beast!
A single word even if you make it up is easier to remember. A longer name is harder to remember and also easier to find a domain name if your going to set up a website.
I like this life
Thanks for sharing blog
I like this steepshot
keep on you ;)
Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold
very good book words, i really like to read about your book @stackin.
What book? 😒 🙄
Prolly that @stackin (makes it look like you're writing a book) you'll be the GaryVee of Steemit! I use my "Big E" (for EverNoticeThat) all over the web. Consistent branding is very important. I see a book in your future Bro! :)
I love @stackin. Thanks for the great work and effort taken to support steemit users and advice them too.
cool
It's great to see a lot more branding being created on Steemit! I think we are still in the early adoption stage of the Steemit ecosystem and we all have first movers advantage :)
Good post thanks for sharing how to be known in social media
