How These 10 Professionals Are Growing Their Personal Brand on beBee

Your personal brand can simply be seen as the way you present yourself to the world. However, from the moment we connect online, we are asked to wear a variety of different hats.

For example you build your relationships with friends and family on Facebook and you build your business connections on Linkedin. You can try to be hip on Instagram and lean towards the goofy on Snapchat and while for many this branding separation is quite okay and might even be appreciated, the reality of social media, is that the word social can never be ignored. People actually want to connect with the real you, the sum total of who you are. Remember the old saying, people buy from people they’ve come to know like and trust? Well that’s where building your uniquely personal brand comes into play and that’s what gives the new kid on the block, beBee the edge.

Now BeBee isn’t here to replace platforms you’ve grown to love, it’s about filling that space where our professional and personal brands collide. In simple terms it’s about showcasing not just one aspect of who you are.

According to Juan Imaz Co-founder and Executive Chairman of beBee.

beBee differs from other social networks when it comes to creating your personal brand because you are not limited to simply showcasing your work or just highlighting your social interests. On bebee it is easier for others to see a bigger picture of who you are, not just one side of you. This allows for better understanding, better relationships, better business and greater success.

So how are professionals like yourself utilizing this new space? Here’s what 10 of them had to say..

• The idea behind beBee as a networking site is that your personal interests can lead to business opportunities. Sandra 🐝 Smith (Social Marketing Director for beBee USA. INC columnist.)

• I’ve increased my social following, had a few blogs go viral, and earned a new client. Best social ROI going if you ask me! Sandra 🐝 Smith (Marketing Consultant)

• beBee enables me to meet the Persona behind a Professional and the Professional behind a Persona; and empowers me to connect to a global audience both as a skilled Professional (with a corporate/business identity) and a Person (an individual, with hobbies, interests and other driving passions) - Praveen Raj Gullepalli (Head - Branding & Communication Hyderābād)

• With an integrated personal and professional profile, you can connect with people….having one consistent brand that integrates career goals and personal passions can open many more doors. - Sara Jacobovici (Owner Creative Arts Therapies Services)

• I’ve met some of the most wonderful people on beBee. People who are supportive and also some who have become friends outside of just being virtual friends.- Paul 🐝 Kearley (Blogger, hobby Photographer)

• As an entrepreneur, you’re sunk if you don’t make and nourish connections. I have found BeBee to be a much better platform to connect with people. It’s very open and personable. Paul 🐝 Kearley (President IBC Impact Business Communication)

• Pretty convinced this platform has more conversation, more interactions, more PASSION, and more ways to reach the world. - Keith Bare (Owner of Hydrogen2020)

• On beBee, the actual users are the real influencers, not cherry-picked celebrity personalities and big name CEOs whose content is force fed to users regardless of quality or whether users even want to read it. On the other hand, beBee allows users to receive only the content they want which is relevant to their professional and personal interests. -  (Communications Executive, Social Media Strategist)

• I simply prefer beBee because it is global site where I can strike up a conversation with anyone about anything that interests me. - Deb 🐝 Helfrich (Wellness Mentor & Author)

So if at the end of it all you are still wondering if bebee.com is worth taking a look at I leave you with these words from the Co-founder & CEO himself Javier Cámara Rica:

beBee is the next big thing in professional social networking. Our mission is to create a professional world that is more open and connected. beBee is disrupting professional social networking by establishing connections through passions and common interests that create more professional engagement and deeper and more successful business relationships.

Author’s Note: The platform is still a work in progress with many tweaks and new features planned for roll out soon but I was introduced to BeBee.com a little over a month ago and since then I have been named a Brand Ambassador so I might be a bit biased in my love for the platform, so I ask you to check it out and decide for yourself.
