How to amplify your personal brand online in a week
Most people often think that they only need a personal brand if they’re a company owner or trying to become an industry influencer, but that’s far from the truth! ❌
In today’s digital era, it’s essential that we all have a personal brand. This doesn’t mean that you have to spend hours posting videos on social media; rather, it’s simply important to be present and share your thoughts online.
So, how can you create a personal brand in seven days? Follow these tips! 👇
Day 1: Identify your purpose 📣
Try answering the following questions to identify why you’re building your personal brand:
Why are you doing this, and what are you trying to say?
What is your vision, and where will that vision take you in the next five years?
What are you creating?
What gaps are you trying to fill? What solutions are you providing?
What reputation do you want to build?
Days 2-4: Develop your strategy 🗒️
Now is your time to start planning your content and how you’re going to execute it. Determine the following:
Who is your target audience?
Which platforms are you going to use?
What type of content are you going to share (video, image, audio, etc)?
What’s your niche?
Who are you reaching?
Which platforms are you going to use to create your posts?
What is your sharing schedule?
Days 5-6: Planning and execution ✍️
Now that you have everything figured out, it’s time to start putting pen to paper (or fingers to phone) and create your content. When doing so, stick to a specific theme or brand colors to have a unified image that people will start to relate to you when they scroll past your content.
Day 7: Launch day 💻
The only thing left to do is schedule your posts, and off you go! Be sure to also engage on similar posts to start getting yourself noticed. And don’t forget it takes a while to start receiving engagement, but don’t let that knock you down!
