An Experiment: The Personal Brand

I've been toying with an idea for a while. I have been wondering if there is a way for both a personal and professional blog to co-exist. Is there a way to successfully create a personal "brand" that embodies your personality, abilities, thoughts and other qualities? So, we'll see.

I recently attended BarCamp Nashville where Mitch Joel (Six Pixels of Separation) gave a fantastic presentation on participating in the online culture. So, I posed the question to him:

Mitch,

We met here in Nashville and I meant to ask you a question. Is there a model for having both a personal and a professional blog that coexist on one site. I'm currently running two blogs - my personal blog at www.dylogy.com and my professional blog at www.conversion-funnel.com. Can I/should I consolidate them? Or should they be separate?

Thanks again for the great presentation at BarCamp Nashville. I appreciate any feedback and insight you might have.

All the Best,
Chip Gallent

To which he responded:

Say on one, how many Blogs do you want?

You see... no rules. Your call.

Mitch Joel

Yes, that is the perfect response and I guess you could call it the mantra of participating in the online world ... no rules. So - here it goes. Beginning now, I'm switching over to ChipGallent.com from now on. Everything will be there.
