The most popular question I’ve gotten over the last 12 months is around what tools do I use to build my personal brand.  And more importantly, how do I leverage these tools as part of my overall social strategy.

There is no one-size-fits-all secret tool combination for personal branding success.  The main reason I haven’t blogged about all my tools is that I use A LOT of tools. And, I don’t believe any tool is the one perfect tool that does everything. On that same note, I don’t believe every person should use the exact same tools in the exact same way.  Not to mention that tools and social media platforms are changing so rapidly it’s hard to stay up to date with all the features and functions.

With all that being said I decided to breakdown the tools I use into different sections and provide you a quick overview of each tool that I use. Please note: just because I use it doesn’t mean it’s a perfect fit for you.

-- Had planned on sharing all the links for all the apps and tools and gear in the show notes but I couldn't get the formatting right so I will be creating a new landing page on iSocialFanz.com to support all of the tools and gear mentioned on this episode.
