Here Danielle talks about personal branding.
Nine examples of awesome personal online branding are:
- Mark Cuban
- Michelle Malkin
- Arianna Huffington
- Robert Scoble
- Shoemoney
- John Chow
- John Reese
- GigaOm
- Xiaxue
One guy I really admire is Chris Pirillo. He’s one of the originals, a great personal brander, he’s doing some awesome things with video, and he’s making a boat load of cash.
Matt Mullenweg is a low key kind of guy who’s not in your face as these other people but is building up his rep and his main website which is poised to make stack loads of cash. His community is one of the best with one of the best demographics. Hopefully he won’t abuse it like the Facebook guy.
Obviously I didn’t include other personal mega branders like, Donald Trump, Tyra Banks, Diddy and so on and so forth.
The ones above are the ones doing it online. One interesting thing about John Chow is he seems to have more local popularity.

Great list. All of those guys are prominent names in the Internet world. But I think it’s even more impressive for guys who can break out of a certain niche and become a household name. Mark Cuban for example is well known in the fields of technology, business, blogging, Internet, and even sports.
You can even catch him on TV crying when the Mavericks are losing.
Sure does help when you’re a billionaire.
