Internet Branding!?!?

[KellyTaylor]

Ok so I have alot of questions tonite and these will all help me out alot!!

What do you feel are the best methods of getting internet and online branding.. Not just for traffic....

But a good way to get your name out there on an internet basis... I know buying advertising is a good way to do this ...

But Im looking for a more global way to do this! Expanding my horizons and getting my name out there on multi levels ! you get what I mean?!!?

Also what do you feel are the best ways for porn models to get branding as well globally???

What's with the !?!? after every thread title?

[KellyTaylor]

my ?!!? hahaha well ... it makes perfect sense to me I guess and I have seen alot of other people do it as well..

( If you look at all my threads and postings.. there usually questions so)

( ? ) that meaning wondering... or not knowing and then .... Putting ( !) Emphasis on it but using explan exclaimation point ...

So it is like a SERIOUR QUESTION OR something Im seriously Questioning LOL get it....?!?! HAHAH just wondering....
It doesnt matter.. It is another one of my bad habits.. Like my caps you had to originally ask me about...

But is kinda getting off the subject of what I was asking.....

I was wondering about all the excitement in your posts as well. I just figured you were eating the same stuff as what I feed my Chihuahua dogs. They are always excited too.

[KellyTaylor]

you know me Im always excited LOL... But thanks Sorry I will stop doing it... Hahah constructive criticism is always good.... right ??? :groovy:

[chadknowslaw]

no no no!

It makes you stick out.

Not like your videos make ME stick out--that is entirely different......:kiss:

Tie in products that can be supplemented with your own free product placement ads are great for branding. You can create something, like your own fashion label, then wear the clothes in your videos and get other adult models and porn stars to wear them. If you and your friends in the industry model for the catalog, then the adult productions and the clothing line help sell each other and create a strong brand.

Hmm interesting.. that is a good Idea LOL especially with my new solo site comming out!!
And some other stuff as well...

Hmmmm ??!?!?

Also do you have any good ideas for foreign and domestic traffic??
what advertising you think is the best for getting branding?? and do you know of other ways of getting branding domestically and in foreign regions...

Branding & Traffic are two different activities.

Branding is about generating consistancy, awareness and buzz for your brand.

Traffic is about getting the people to your site, store, place of business...

A few Branding tools:

Offline: TV, Magazines, Billboards, Other print media, Sponsored events, media spectecals and much more...

Online: Banner Ads that purely focus on the brand. Site-wide and network-wide sponsorships focusing on the brand.

But I think bolth can be infused! Getting branding and traffic at the same time is possible I think! I mean you get traffic from creating yourself branding correct?? So there is way to make bolth work well with eachother correct??

[robin]

Yes, of course traffic can result from branding. But branding's main function in life isn't really traffic.

I know my post above is rather sketchy and what not but do check out those links and also check out a book store. There's been oodles of books written on branding, brand managment etc...

you can brand without traffic and get traffic without branding.

sending someone to your site is NOT branding. getting sites like gaydemon and avn to do articles about you or posting stuff on jub is the easiest way i can think of for a web model to brand themselves or their site. also when your site is up, you can become a contributor at badpuppy.

actual magazines is another good way, and getting some interviews wouldn't hurt. getting a recognizable logo that does not change and adding it to your site and your sig and everywhere you can post is a way to get your actual site logo recognized.

Yup.

Also, even though you may not be aware you are doing it, you are branding yourself in every thread you start on GWW too.

Can you guess how !?!?

But im not just a web model.. Im a dvd model and Im not just a model Im a webmaster that scouts and does promotions as well... LOL I could on to things like DVD editing and authoring that I do as well.... But you get what I mean ...... Magazines I have got into Intouch Men.. and Allboy magazine twice .... But I can try those again and that is a good .. Idea... see I have done all of those things... Im looking for new ways.. I mean I have been around only 2 years but I have done alot of events and know alot of people aand been in various other things... like my 9th dvd effort just came out recently but you get my point ... Im looking for newer ways.. Cause I have alot of there stuff covered... Anyone have any ideas?!?

I got stuff like cybersocket and AVN kinda covered .. Gay Demon would rock and I have been working on that one....JUB I will do when the site goes live... But I really have no need for them to review my DVDS one at a time when I rather just have them do my solo site that reviews and has all my dvds in there.....

[KellyTaylor]

Yup.
