Do you want to stand out in already noisy social media platforms?
What do you want to be known for?
Who are your audience that needs to know about you so you can serve well?
What are your strengths that will get you to your goals?
In today’s world, it’s important to take your personal brand seriously if you want others to take you seriously. Gone are the days when branding was expected and used for businesses and organisations more than individuals. Try out these simple tips for understanding the importance of personal branding, defining your own personal brand, and marketing your brand for greater career success.
#1. To prosper
Your personal brand is your reputation. It's the way others see you. If you're like most people, you may be switching jobs and employers regularly. Your personal brand is an asset you can take with you wherever you go. Think about the value it can bring to you and your career!
If you want to influence others you need to share more about who you are and why others should follow you. Every trial makes you braver to explore the next step.
#2. To design your own direction
Your brand will help you to establish goals, priorities and action plans. Even while taking care of daily obligations, you'll have a bigger picture in mind. Stay alert about what you do every day, how many hours you spend staying focused and when you digress? Designing your own direction gives you self-confidence to develop a life where you can practice healthy self-love minus the guilt.
Remind yourself that with these tips you're able to connect as an authentic leader.
#3. To serve others
Self-promotion can go too far, so it's easy to think that branding is somehow vain or self-absorbed. In reality, your personal brand shows the positive impact you can have on other people and the world around you.
Allow popularity to come from serving others. Consider services and social media engagements more than a hobby. Practice meaningful engagements and you can enhance your self-esteem doing things you're passionate about.

There are plenty of talented and dependable people in every field. Do some thorough skill analysis to discover your unique selling point. Maybe you’re a working at home beautician with a breath-taking view of the beach and close to the train station.
#3. Educate and . awareness
Let your target audience know what you can do for them. Explain how you have used social media or personal branding activities that boosted your sales and revenue. Your viewers will follow you for results not only for transformational promise. It’s new sexy is sharing knowledge and expertise – believe in a mutual learning process. Asking people to buy from you is meaningless if you struggle to articulate its benefits. When people are convinced you’re an expert but you can also help them get results that’s when they will buy from you.
#4. Prepare your .
Be prepared to capture people’s attention quickly. Let them know what you do in 15 words or less. You can tell you’re on the right track when they ask for more details. I have met experts working in their sector for twenty years not knowing how to say what they do in less than 15 words. There’s never a wrong time to start something interesting that motivates us to grow. So, take out your pen or open your Google doc in the next window and practice preparing your pitch.
#5. Seek .
Speak to others around you such as family, friends, customers and colleagues to find out what they think of you and your abilities. Show your appreciation for constructive criticism so they’ll keep sharing it with you.
I always say this to aspiring new entrepreneurs, think carefully about whom you seek feedback from. You’re not looking to become perfect at this stage. You want people to believe in you and to show you the way, not say you’re not ready yet because you never will be if you continue hearing those voices.
Branding used to be for cattle and big corporations, but now everyone is in on the act. Take charge of your personal brand to achieve more career success and guide your life in a direction that is meaningful for you.
