Peopleized.com Interviews For Personal Branding

Almost every blogger needs some kind of written biography. This will not only provide information to your target audience about what you do, but also who you are.

This is especially crucial for your personal branding during the early stages. If you don’t tell your first time visitors who you are and how much you know about blogging, then why should they bother themselves for reading you.

I know how difficult it is to write about yourself. Quite often i start writing my own biography and then give up after the first few sentences. I don’t know whether it is because of some sort of writer’s block. But writing my own biography has always been a nightmare for me.

I thought i found an easy solution to this a year ago. If i interview myself as if i interview someone, then i thought i could overcome this problem. Then i started asking some great interview questions to myself, and answered them. I thought it would be a piece of cake for me to collect all the answers and then write an attractive biography of me.

But i failed. Why ? Because my questions were usually pointing my strengths and positive sides. In the end, the outcome was looking like a press release of a marketing campaign. My mom was asking the questions, and my dad was answering them on behalf of me. How objective can they be when their son is concerned ?
How did i solve this problem ?

If you have read About section of my blog before, you probably know that i have been involved in Peopleized.com project with Halil Mandal. If you have no idea about Peopleized then i suggest you to read my blog post New Era in Social Networking?

Peopleized.com is a new social networking website which is based on a very simple yet genius idea of Halil Mandal and Euripidis Kitsos ; connecting people by encouraging them to make interviews with each other. This way users develop a better relationship than any other social networking sites. They ask each other any questions they want and share the interviews with others. Currently Halil is working on a Facebook application of Peopleized. No doubt, Peopleized will rock as soon as the application is launched. Don’t worry, all loyal readers of Search For Blogging, will be informed before the final countdown.

I bet you now understand how i overcame my obstacle. There are thousands of great blogger members of Peopleized who are willing to make interview with you. In return you can make a favor and interview them.

I can not think of a better website to start promoting yourself in the early stages of blogging. The purpose of Peopleized is to help bloggers spotlight themselves and build good relationships with other bloggers which will eventually help them in this long blogging journey.

Every time i need personal branding, i sign in to Peopleized and kindly invite my contacts to make an interview with me. I feel more comfortable this way and the outcome is much better. You are free to inform the interviewer about the outcome you want before the interview starts.

It is also planned to create a team of volunteer Peopleized members and provide interview service especially for brand new bloggers. The good thing is this is going to be a free of charge service from Peopleized.

If you are interested in Peopleized, please sign up now by clicking here.

I am ready to make an interview with you in Peopleized if you like the idea. But i should warn you: Answer my questions if you dare!

    You are always welcome Halil. I like Peopleized because it always supports brand new bloggers. I never forget how Peopleized helped me during the early stages of my blogging. I am sure many bloggers will start to benefit from Peopleized when the Facebook and Myspace applications are ready. I am looking forward to see those days…

  3. Nice overview of the service that looks like something that can be very useful.

    Thanks for sharing,
    Alex
