Really, it does. A couple of days ago, I got an email from Jason at Jibber Jobber saying he’d picked yours truly as his “You Get it!” pick of the month. Basically, he singles out one person each month who exemplifies the concepts of personal branding. And I’m it for March! How did I win this title? you ask. Did I get nominated by my local senator? Write an essay about “what personal branding means to me”? Send in $5 with proof of purchase? Nope. I commented on Brazen Careerist and Jason happened to click on my website. Amazing how that works!
And in other news, traffic is way up thanks to so many of you fabulous readers adding links to this site (thank you!!). I also noticed that there’s an unusual amount of traffic coming from Queensland, Australia. Apparently, I’m big Down Under. So if you’re reading this from the other side of the world, I’d love to know how you found me. Don’t be shy – leave a comment and we can exchange links!
P.S. I’m taking a few days off for some R & R, but I’ll be back next week for more blogging fun!
Blogging Works!

You do have a nice website/blog!
I just discovered your blog via jibberjobber and I’m quite enjoying your posts.
Cheers,
Patricia
Thanks, Patricia!
Congrats! It’s always good to see a freelance writer get some credit for good non-writing work. It helps others realize that there is a real business side to what we do. Keep up the good work!
Susan, I’m double posting my comment so that I’m sure you will see it.
I like the blog and love the website. Although I think that you would be better served if you could host the blog on your own site. My “Confessions of an Executive Restaurant Recruiter” blog [www.cecsearch.com/WordPress] started out on Blogspot too, but I soon realized that I would not be gaining advantage for the traffic I generated with my blog if it were hosted elsewhere.
I’d be happy to chat with you more on the subject. You can check out one of my other business enterprises at http://www.recruiting-usa.com – Web services for recruiters and small businesses (gratis, of course)
Carl, thanks for visiting and for the tips. As Jason mentioned, I’m a relatively new blogger (and the blog came before the website, too), so as I expand, hosting on my website is definitely something to think about over the next few months. I’m not sure if my hosting service is really set up for that and blogger’s interface is very easy to work with, but I’ll definitely look into it!
I also recently discovered your site via your article on digsmagazine.com and enjoy your posts. I look forward to future tips!
Congrats!

Hey, I’m uncharacteristically late to comment on this but I just wanted to say congrats on having a great blog. Its been fun to pick out winners each month and I was glad I stumbled upon yours!
I’m looking forward to more cool stuff from your blog!
