How to Build Your Personal Brand When You're an Introvert

Social media is an incredibly powerful tool for personal branding. 

• Your up-to-date profiles can tout your skills and accomplishments for you, without you so much as saying a word.
• Try joining LinkedIn groups or Twitter chats to participate in discussions relevant to your industry and connect with fellow professionals.

Don't pressure yourself into thinking that you need to be the center of attention or speak with a large audience.

If you continue to build one meaningful relationship at a time with the people who actually matter to you, by setting up informal meetings or coffee dates, you'll actually end up with a stronger personal brand than those people who fly around networking events engaging in endless conversations about the weather.
