Remember that you are your brand, no no matter what your current job is.

Keeping a positive attitude and helping others will only help healthily grow your brand in the long run.

The best PR is by word of mouth. Creating a personal brand in the public sphere is no exception to this rule.

You’ll never achieve the best branding until you fail a couple times.

The very best brands always come from repeated trial and error, mistakes and failures and not from instant perfection.

Don’t underestimate how tiny inconsistencies can derail personal brand effectiveness.

Being consistent is very similar to having a narrow focus—it’s much easier to get recognized for one topic if you consistently create content and brand voice around it.

Your personal brand should follow you everywhere you go. it’s easier when initially creating a personal brand to have your actual lifestyle and brand be one and the same.

It needs to be an authentic manifestation of who you are and amplify what you believe.

Once you’ve built your personal brand with a reputation and community behind it, the next step is to think about the legacy that you’ll leave behind.

Think about this question: What are the keywords and actions that you want to be known for?

If your personal brand isn’t telling a story, you’ve already lost half of your potential audience.

The most effective personal branding strategy these days is to build a true narrative, a story around your brand that your audience can engage with.

Study trends and popular individuals on different social media platforms and then implement them with a twist.

Start marketing yourself like the celebrities and influential people that you look up to every day.
