Mike, nice article. We firmly believe that financial advisors who embrace blogging and build a personal online brand around this will have a tremendous advantage over their competitors. It is also true that social media is only one component of the online marketing plan and that all of your online assets should be integrated and work together! Claiming your online real estate for your name and/or firm name is also crucial. Your online brand already exists and it’s up to you to take control of that real estate! I’m glad to see more content being written on the subject. Thanks. Stephanie, Founder of Wired Advisor LLC (http://www.wiredadvisor.com)
