专业人士都知道，提升自己在公司的地位是很重要的。但是如果你觉得你没有时间做那件事，再想想。个人品牌专家威廉阿鲁达说，你只需要每天9分钟。

阿鲁达说，在LinkedIn要求他拿出人们每天花在自己品牌上的最佳时间后，他研究了这个话题。他把时间定在9分钟，因为这比一个两位数的数字要少得多，你很可能每天都能安排好时间，而且它能让你专注于手头的任务，而不会分心或被它的规模所束缚。另外，它还加起来，每个工作日9分钟就意味着每周45分钟，或者说每年大约有一个完整的工作周。

在这段时间里，你可以为你的个人品牌做很多事情，阿鲁达说：

1. Update your LinkedIn status, letting your contacts know what you are up to or what your opinion is on a timely topic.
2. Reach out to a former colleague or manager to reinforce your connection.
3. Discover your brand color. Then use it in your personal communicati***, your email signature and your online profiles.
4. Ask for feedback, recommendati*** and endorsements from managers, clients and other colleagues.
5. Research thought-leaders in your area of expertise on the web and choose one or two to follow.
6. Join a LinkedIn group and comment on a LinkedIn group post.
7. Recommend and congratulate others in their careers, and send thank-you notes (written or email) to team members, colleagues and others who have made a significant contribution.
8. Record your "Wins" for the week. Tracking all your successes will also keep you prepared for your annual performance review. Here's a worksheet you can use to capture your wins.
9. Write your 3D Brand Bio. (Arruda explains this one in detail at the Forbes article linked below)
