One of the people I made a personal brand for last year was Julie Smith, who runs meditation courses. She just had me overhaul the structure of her site.
So the design hasn’t changed (and had very little to do with me, sure I made it but the job was outsourced to me by a template-company) but the site map, information architecture etc. has been redone in key places.
Home page – Welcome to Julie Smith – Success through Stillness
“Sure, I’ll download that directory for you and take a look”.
7,000 tiny .html files later. FTP doesn’t do individual files well!
And now, to action!
I start each day by spending an hour pimping out my online presence (among replying to emails, and getting ready for the day). It’s totally worth it, but also not nearly enough!
Honestly, there’s so much I could be doing. I love it.

I’m putting a new, exciting hourlie up on PeoplePerHour, basically it’s a way for people to carry around (and give away) a local copy of their website! Marketing to the max.
The link to my PPH profile is, http://pph.me/peter – the link to the hourlie will follow shortly.
