Your goal: to promote yourself and build your personal and professional brand online. You’ve joined Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn – and, just to cover your bases, YouTube, Flickr, Posterous and Foursquare, not to mention your blog.

According to Hubspot, almost two-thirds of Twitter users don’t have bios on their profiles.
