4 Ways to Building a Successful Personal Brand

Brand marketing goes beyond products and services. When selling your business services, you should also sell yourself as a separate individual. This is called personal branding. Building a personal brand is essential for entrepreneurs, and those who are trying to make an impact in the corporate world because it positions you as an expert, thought-leader and expresses your personality, Remember, people buy from people.

Below I list four ways on how you can SUCCESSFULLY create a personal brand.

1. Narrow Down Your Expertise

When creating a successful brand, you must first discover what you’re great at. That means asking yourself these questions:

What am I known for?

What gifts comes to me easily?

What have I spent time mastering?

How can I package what I know into a product or service?

Narrowing down your expertise will help you gain clarity on what you are called to do. As a result, you’ll position yourself as an expert, thought leader, and the “go-to” guru in your industry.

2. Tell a Story⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Sharing Your Story Humanizes Your Brand. When starting out as a new business owner, it can be difficult as consumers are skeptical about giving their money to new businesses. Therefore, sell your products and services with a story. Make your potential clients FEEL & WANT what you have to offer. Choose stories that relates to your offer. They should find the solution to their problems in your brand’s messaging.
