Personal branding is the art of building and promoting your professional image through social networks.
To do it in the best way you will have to implement the following actions:
Make sure your social media accounts are updated with current information
Adapt your content type to each social media channel.
Maintain the same branding and messaging across each channel
In this article, we will explore these three fundamental points
Make sure your social media accounts are updated with your current information and pictures
This means that you should use the same username, profile picture and description on every social network.
Also, the content you post on the different channels should be consistent with your image and message. For example, if your goal is to be seen as an industry expert, you should share informative and valuable content on your channels.
If you aim to show the human side of your personality, you could share personal and lifestyle content.
Using a consistent image across all of your profiles will help you create a recognizable identity and build a stronger relationship with your followers.
Also, using logos or professional photos helps create a more professional image and make a better impression on your audience.
Remember to always keep this image consistent over time, as constantly changing can be confusing.
Create different types of content for each social media platform and remember to schedule them for ease
Personal branding is an ongoing process that needs to be adapted and updated according to your needs and goals.
Here are some tips for tailoring your branding to suit your needs and goals:
maintain a long-term view of your professional goals and ensure that your branding is aligned with them and well planned.
be flexible and ready to change strategies and create new content if you are not achieving your goals
continue to monitor and measure your progress to understand if you are reaching your goals and if there is a need for changes
Personal branding is an ongoing process that takes time and patience to build and maintain. Over time, by following these tips, you'll be able to create strong and lasting personal branding that will help you achieve your professional goals.
Ensure that all your social media channels share the same brand voice and messaging
Content Marketing is the primary source of authority and expertise with which you can (and should) build your personal brand and ensure that the same message and brand voice are shared across your channels.
To show that you are an expert and to give your story credibility, you need to ensure that you have a large number of high-quality information, and blog articles on your website or social profiles.
To do all this efficiently and preserve your sanity, without going crazy by publishing billions of things everywhere, I suggest you adopt a multi-channel digital marketing strategy that allows you to work, using the same suitably adapted content, on different channels of communication:
blog article
Youtube channel
Facebook
Instagram or Linkedin (depending on your audience)
TikTok etc...
In summary, personal branding is a must for entrepreneurs, professionals and startups who want to build a business from scratch. Thanks to it you will be able to reach more people, get more customers and get paid more.
Remember: personal branding is a never-ending process. You can always improve your Brand. You can always learn and do new things. The more you focus on improving your personal brand, the more successful you will be in terms of business, whether you get a job, move up to your current position, or simply be a happier person.
