Personal Branding 101 [Build Your Personal Brand In 2023]

[@AbigailK]

Being over 40 and building a personal brand is a unique experience - it's both a personal reinvention and a digital revamp that requires a lot of introspection. I've found that many of the approaches to personal branding have overlooked the extent and value of personal introspection. I truly value your video content.

Amazing Stuff ❤

Glad you like it!

[@kobusingyerehemah]

This is one of the most important information for today. Being authentic is the right balance to bring out the best in u

[@DAILUX.ASCEND]

Stephen, your content has been in rotation with my other studies for the past week. Idk when the algorithm slipped you into my sight, but I’m glad I bit… You speak for a group of us out here who see the market differently than most. Those of us that truly want to be iconic and unique in our field. There’s not much of that content floating around on KZbin, especially for my specific field. So thank you for being a hidden gem that will play a major part in my success story. You’ve easily earned my sub.

[@BrandMasterAcademy]

Great to hear thank you 🙏

[@dummybear6772]

I keep thinking about how you said "Your personal brand already exists". It reminds me of one day at my uni when a group of us were hanging out, watching videos of public figures. The guys in the group suddenly told me that x figure was wearing an outfit that I'd totally wear. I was dumbfounded that people would associate certain types of clothes and colors with me, but it does make sense in terms of this personal branding you were talking about.

[@BrandMasterAcademy]

Branding is about creating an image that resonates through associations 👍

[@Casikan]

I have been given a project by my brand Professor to create a personal brand, and I'm at sea. Will need more introspection, and rewatch this video several more times to know how to begin. Thanks for this as always.

[@BrandMasterAcademy]

Fantastic!

[@kalihlava]

Awesome video, being yourself can be hard, and to show it publicly even tougher. Really needed to see this. Thank you!

[@BrandMasterAcademy]

You're so welcome!

[@christopherdoiron4294]

While watching this and writing in my world document all the answers to the questions, I realized that my personal brand name is, well, my own name. Love it.

[@jedidahnyirenda8680]

Love this video, definitely one that you wanna bookmark and watch every now and then as you develop and grow to remind yourself of why you started building your personal brand. The tips are useful, clear and easy to understand, it was easy for me to pause, self-reflect and already see the correlation between the points and my life as a brand. This is definitely a gem to keep for a long time. Thank you.

[@BrandMasterAcademy]

Delighted to hear Jedidah 👍

[@wondergon]

I really like your videos. They are very helpful and valuable. I think a short summery at the end of the videos with all the steps listed again would help to really let it sink in again.

[@BrandMasterAcademy]

Florian Kummer super idea... I’ll look at adding something like that to my process 👍🙏

[@waelzarzour8495]

OMG... You don't know how much your content is valuable... It really helped gain clarity... Thanks from the heart mr. Stephen 💙

[@stevensonjmary4245]

Very helpful video. I staeted building my personal branding on LinkedIn, but never go deeper into the social media platform. I think it's time to get out my confortable shell and share my talent with the world. But I need a mentor"

[@BrandMasterAcademy]

I always thought I needed a mentor... But I never really got the mentor I craved. Instead, I took it upon myself to seek the answers my idealistic mentor could have answered... you don't need anybody but your own determination and resoursefulness... Aim to become the mentor you would have wanted 😊👍 - Use mine, and others content to help you along the way

[@tomigmichel]

You are a master for sure. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!

I'm almost 39 and about to start my own personal brand. Working for companies that don't care about you or your family has broken the camel's back so to speak.

[@klbtrading7685]

I started my personal brand last year and I'm now working on fixing it by deleting my old content as I realized i wasn't really authentic and wanted to be liked... so I was all over the place and creating content without my specific audience in mind. Thanks for the video.

[@kevinhahn_]

Awesome insight. This video really helped me clear the fog and develop some clarity to move forward with building my personal brand. I really like when you said that our personal brands already exist, we just need to develop and nurture it into an asset. Great perspective. My main struggle is ambition. I understand the slower I go the better, but theres just so much value I want to give and people I want to inspire. Everything in time....

[@BrandMasterAcademy]

Your ambition is not your struggle... It's your strength. Patience is your challenge... Learn to be patient, be kinder to yourself, focus on the progress Look at where you are from where you were, not where you are from where you want to be, 👍

Thank you Stephen, your video was very to the point and actionable. I'm a software engineer (primarily games and apps) and have recently taken an interest in further developing my own personal brand. I write blog posts and make videos about programming topics that interest me and I feel as though I've (perhaps inadvertently) been developing my own brand for a while now, but having watched your video I'm going to really delve into each step you discussed and plan it out more pointedly. Thanks again, this was a great video! 🤘

… it’s actually the way to develop a business brand. You do the above first, even for a few years…give give give first with no expectations - how rare is that today amongst the social media noise of „give me your money first…“ Gary Vee absolutely right…

Great content as always...i'm wondering about the other regular corporate brand strategy elements that you mentioned in other videos? arn't they applicable in personal branding( i'm talking about brand value, mission, visual identity...)?

100% - Personal and Corporate branding differ very little. Brand personality and Competitor relationships are the two main areas

I've spent some years growing a car photography page (under my own name) but i'm finding it really hard to add value and grow. I'm also into biking and feel I could add value/tips etc there but not with supercars. It might be different if I actually owned one, lol. As the audience followed me for car content/photos I feel I can't just introduce biking into it. The hard part is trying to monetize a supercar photography page

[@BrandMasterAcademy]

Ask yourself.. (or ask them directly) what does my audience also have a passion for... Great way to find nuggets of gold as to how you can expand your position

[@niitelus]

You may want to create another handle for the biking. One of the most important things is the passion you bring into your page. Are you passionate about the biking or the supercars?

I'm so torn how to develop my brand's personality, when my customers who are high-paying professionals, but I'm a bubbly person, who is quite a dork around the edges.

[@BrandMasterAcademy]

Absolutely, finding that balance is key. Your brand can be professional yet still reflect your unique personality. Think about blending your bubbly side into your brand's voice in a way that resonates with your audience and differentiates you. Remember. A lot of these “High-paying professionals” are dorks around the edges, just like you. It’s not a weakness, but your super power. Use your uniqueness wisely, in contexts where it adds value and relatability. It's all about striking the right balance that feels true to you and appeals to your clients. Hope that points you in the right direction!

[@LilacDaisy2]

@@BrandMasterAcademy I never expected a reply - that's so kind of you. Thank you! That really does help me present myself in a way that is more embracing and genuine. I'd never thought of my clients as being inner dorks, too. Of course they are! Anyone passionate about an intellectual field is! :D
