Personal Branding Increases Your Visibility
With people taking to social media to research a business before ever stepping in
the door or making a purchase, it is essential you have a presence online. Let’s not
forget, whether you are actively taking action to shape your brand or not, people
can still write reviews about you. If you don’t have a presence online, you are
invisible. Not to mention, you will not do well against your competition if no one
knows who you are.
The more you build your personal brand, the more visible you’ll become. Once you
are visible online, you will experience:
● More followers and connections on social media.
● Followers willing to share your content with their tribes.
● And so forth.
It’s a powerful cycle.
The truth is, building your personal brand and building your platform go hand-in- hand.
As your personal brand grows stronger, your platform will get bigger, which will
then make your brand a force to be reckoned with.
Personal Branding Shapes What Content You Share
If you are not actively shaping your personal brand, you are probably struggling
with what content to share on social media. You don't know what content to create
because you don’t have any guidelines as to what your audience wants to know.
And so you end up sharing either nothing at all or whatever catches your fancy at
any given moment. Neither of these tactics help you to build a strong personal
brand.
When you have a strong personal brand, you have a clear identity beyond what
you sell. You understand your brand message and brand values. So by having a
personal brand, you are guided toward exactly what kinds of content you should
share.
Simply put, you should only share content that aligns with and promotes the values
of your personal brand.
What you ate for lunch is great, but it may not add to your personal brand or give
value to your audience unless you are attracting people with food interests. Plates
of food, memes, and other random posts are great to engage friends and family. But, if you are hoping to build trust and create a relationship with potential clients
that don’t already have a personal relationship with you, they are not going to
engage with your personal content.
