Personal Branding is something too much people, even in the Marketing space, are missing to play with. First you need to realize that people will search for you whatever you do against it. There’s no place to hide on the Internets so why not use this powerful tool to promote yourself, your passions or whatever that make sense for you.
So the goal is to have all the Google results related to you when people are searching for you. Can be done also for a company, an association, etc. So let me tell you the secret! after the break.

If you’re not able to take the time and only want a quick fix, there’s not, like for SEO and this site isn’t for you, really.
So be part of your community of interest, have a presence in those places and be heard. This is commonly name as Social Media, but really its just like in real life; making connections and enter conversations.
This personal blog is of course one of my ways to be heard and as you can see with this google query there’s plenty of them 
What’s yours?

Really easy when we have a name as rare as yours over the internet. In Qc, there is probably a lot of Samuel Lavoie, but not on the web, haha.
Même chose pour mon nom qui sort tout en première page aussi. S’en est presque gênant. Haha.
Cheers.
I’m beating a VP of the Youg Liberals of Canada wich used to be on the first page last year.. I’m targeting other stuff like “internet strategy montreal” now lets see in the next months.
That was more a post on the funny side of course, thanks for the comment Dean
