A website is one of the best ways to promote your personal brand in terms of cost and effectiveness. The use of business cards that holds your name and website address is one of the cheapest and most effective promotional tools to expose people to your brand.
Your interactions with the people around you also influence personal branding. If you help someone they will talk about your brand.

Personal branding starts with a story. Then build a great community and interact with them to further spread your story and brand to the world. Spreading your story through positive interaction with the people around you will strengthen your brand. By helping others you are helping yourself as well.
