1 Shape what you want the world to see. Personal brands rely on building a certain persona. It should rely on aspects of your character that are already there, but you don’t necessarily need to show your whole self to the world. Be true to you and focus on what make your brand and personality unique.[8] X Expert Source Ben WhitehairSocial Media Expert Expert Interview
- Think of celebrities you know that have built a persona for themselves. For instance, chefs like Rachael Ray and Guy Fieri have built their brands around a particular persona. Other examples include bloggers like Joy the Baker or The Pioneer Woman or YouTubers like Hannah Hart or The Fine Brothers.
2 Market yourself on social media. In the digital age, social media is the main way of getting your name out there. You can make posts or videos, as well as blog or take photographs to help build your brand. Your content should show who you are while also offering something to the user; you want to give them a reason to keep coming back.[9] X Expert Source Ben WhitehairSocial Media Expert Expert Interview
- Post consistently to make your presence on social media known. Stick to a regular posting routine, and schedule time to interact with your followers.[10]
- For instance, if you're trying to market your talent, put out videos where people can see your talent in action, such as your singing. On the other hand, you can focus on how-to, where you help people do what you do. Build up your base by encouraging people to follow you. Putting content out in the world is great, but it's going out into the void if you don't have any followers. Ask your friends to follow you and to get their friends to follow you. You can also network by commenting on, liking, and sharing others' content.[11]
- There is a difference between spamming people by giving follows for follows and encouraging people to follow. Saying "Follow me for a BFF (Best Fan Forever)" is spam, but saying "Follow me for some good content" is not. Spamming people to gain more followers or subscribers by following or subscribing to them is prohibited on most sites.[12]
3 Focus your brand by curating your social media. If you're already on social media, focusing on your brand may mean taking down things that don't fall in line with the image you're trying to portray. On the other side of the coin, think about the new stuff that you post. Each post or photo you put out there should serve to reinforce your brand image.[13]
4 Move outward to traditional media. If you've built up a brand for yourself, try pushing outward. Contact producers of local shows, particularly if you have something you want to push, such as a new book. Keep in mind, many shows will say "no," so don't be afraid to try more than one.
- It's best to start smaller and work your way up. Most national shows prefer you have some local air time before they give you a chance.[14]
- Be realistic in your aims and avoid "carpet-bombing" marketing campaigns of yourself.[15] Hip-hop publications probably aren't interested in interviewing your bluegrass band, and you're unlikely to get invited back to the wine festival with your craft beers.
5 Don't be afraid to fail. Have confidence that you and your brand are worthy of fame. You have to put yourself out there to succeed. Risk sending your book to the publisher or booking a gig at a big festival. If you're dedicated to your craft and to creating the best work you can, you'll succeed eventually.[16] X Trustworthy Source Harvard Business Review Online and print journal covering topics related to business management practices Go to source
- However, you can't just fail and try the same thing over and over again. You must learn from your mistakes and get better the next time. For instance, if you're writing a novel that gets rejected 20 times, you may need to take it apart and start again.
