So I actually recommend to everyone that you should get your.name@gmail.com. Then, you can use variations on that (your.name+personal-branding-log@gmail.com) to track specific posts you do.

Thank you. I love that you suggest carrying a nice pen. It's the little touches that I think work in your favor. One thing I always suggest to people is to wear nice shoes. Scuffed shoes are never pretty. These are all great tips. Thank you. I love that you suggest carrying a nice pen. It’s the little touches that I think work in your favor.

If you work for a corporation and have no control over your business cards, should you get personal ones? And if so, do you give both out when you network? I’m curious.

Thanks. Just a couple of thoughts I'd like to add on. One useful place to get cards (at least in my opinion) is <a href="http://www.moo.com/" rel="nofollow">Moo</a>. What I like about them is that they give you the option of having a variety of cards. For example, my blog has the tagline "Let your true colors shine through". So the cards I made revolve around the simple concept of colors. But in 100 cards, there are >10 different color patterns. That means that not every card is the same. For me, that's one way of making it more personal/unique. Secondly, just a simple statement that I read online, and so far one of the best advice I've seen regarding business cards. The best business cards start a conversation. A lot of ways to do that, and the tips you've given here are great practical suggestions for it. Simple, but useful tips. Thanks.

Although they seem basic, it is the obvious information that is often overlooked and forgotten about. I plan to implement some of your suggestions right away for my own business cards! Thanks again!
