How to create a Gravatar?

I think the main reason people don’t use it is because they don’t know how to have one! But in fact, to have your brand next to every comment you post on blogs like that is pretty simple:

Gravatar comment example

Just head to gravatar.com and create an account! There, you will be able to assiciate an email address with an image you will upload. That is how a blog will be able to retrieve your gravatar image when you comment: with your email address. Of course, you can associate many email addresses with many images, so if you have multiple blogs, simply add an email address to your account with a new image and you’re done!

How will this help me establish my brand?

If you don’t comment on blogs, this won’t help you establish your brand. But, if you write 1,000 thousands comments every month and you have a nice little image next to your comments every time with your website logo or something like that, your brand will be well known across the blogosphere. For instance, my goal with putting the frogstr frog all over the place is that I want people to think: “What’s that damn blue frog I see all over the place?” and then visit the blog and get addicted to it

It takes five minutes

Even if you don’t really comment a lot, the process takes five minutes and it’s really a nice addition to your comments, so create one!

Blog owners like it

Blog owners usually like people to have a Gravatar because it adds a little something to the comments section: personality.

Conclusion, just create a Gravatar.
