How To Build A $1,000,000 Personal Brand (Detailed Breakdown)

[@digitalandsocialtrends]

I feel your videos are so powerful, Chris. I have learned more indepth concepts from your videos than from paid programs. I genuinely think you breakdown business and marketing concepts so well. Your videos are like a light in the dark for beginner entrepreneurs like me. I have been struggling for 7 years almost and everytime I feel like giving up, your videos show me a way out. You are the best online business school on KZbin

[@thefutur]

hope you can join us in our paid communities some day.

[@digitalandsocialtrends]

@thefutur Really looking forward for that one day Chris. Would be such an honor to have you as a mentor or be in a space where you live coach

[@gonzovi]

What a great video! I feel like this is why I love Tyler and Donald Glover. We saw Donald not get the Spider-Man role, we saw Tyler not get played on the radio, and find an “enemy” in DJ Khaled and win!

[@josephlandrum4592]

Random complement Chris: I like that you can talk very abstract and articulate without using overly abstract language. I feel like a lot of gurus out there at talk very abstract because they don’t know what they’re saying and they’re hoping someone who’s looking for emotional support will latch onto it. But I appreciate that you talk in concepts anchored with knowledge. Love your personal brand bro keep it up. I’m learning. Also, I shared your video with a friend 🤘

[@thefutur]

Thank you so much. I do my best to communicate difficult to understand subjects and ground them in ways that are accessible.

[@revankampf]

We TOTALLY need the in-depth videos of the four! “Go, go, Gadget Algorithm!” 😂

[@digitalandsocialtrends]

Yessssss would love that

[@thefutur]

anticipated this and started production on this already.

[@PowerPlusNature]

I'm so proud of my personal brand. I hope once I get it together, people "feel" my message and hope.

[@PowerPlusNature]

Oh man. I had commented before video was finished. (Neurodiverse for sure) this was absolutely fantastic!

[@PowerPlusNature]

How can I get on a podcast? I need to talk it out. Most of it is stuck in my brain and heart in a jumble.

[@analyzesm-ik1ol]

@@PowerPlusNature u dont need to have a podcast with ppl, start alone, start by saying all what ur brain needs to tell, its a long-term game, but i already know that u're winning it, you actually have the confidence about ur pov ur opinions from what i see, and thats beautiful, now go and talk it out and build an audience around it!!

[@shadowfeline5989]

While I'm still struggling with crafting my authentic personal brand, this video captured a lot of what I've learned so far with Chris on this channel. Ironically, I'm a writer and I didn't think the hero's story method and tapping into my cultural capital plus my vulnerabilities can make me stand out. Thanks Chris for sharing this helpful knowledge!

[@SurvivingWithFanty]

It's actually so hard to start a personal brand, I've been trying for quite a bit now and I struggle between the balance of finding your purpose and just posting videos for the sake of posting. But here are some tips I got from my mentor. 1. Find yourself 2. Build yourself up, invest in yourself, become stable 3. Find your role in the world So a nice thing to add I learned from this video is to create an "enemy" or just try and create a commonality to really connect with your audience.

[@TunaIRL]

Some pretty dubious advice none of it's very actionable. Sounds nice but hard to make use of. I advise searching for stories in your past for moments that were important to you. Explore why those moments were important to you. Did you do something for someone? Did someone do something for you? Did something just happen that made you feel a certain way? Ask why until you can't go deeper and then go a bit deeper. If you just want to post for the sake of posting, why? What's important about posting videos? Why not go running? Or doing any of the other millions of other things? Why do YOU care about posting videos and why should anyone care about the videos you post. To add, videos shouldnt be the motivation. Videos should be the vehicle for what you want to bring to the world. Having an enemy is fine in a story context but in the real world you don't really have enemies which you wish to defeat. You have rivals who motivate you to grow by reminding you of who you are. You don't want them to go away.

[@ThisDesignLife]

The finding is in the doing

[@mohsenkhalili4722]

I believe sharing your vulnerabilities with others is one of THE most powerful tools on any scale, in my previous job as a teacher , whenever I would open up to my students about what I'm struggling with I immediately felt a deeper sense of connection. They would feel like their teacher is a human like them, and the more you try preserve your image as a perfect human being, the more miserably you're going to fail.

[@joshuanoerr]

This is really one of the best videos on branding I've seen. I love the four key components as a quick reference guide

[@AneEikoGimenes]

How is this content free??!! Gosh! I've learned more about branding in the last 28 min than in 5 months and a $387 digital marketing course!! Thanks Chris and the Futur team!

[@thefutur]

Awww wish you bought one of our courses😢

[@JacquiChats]

The best video yet. True edutainment. I first learnt about Personal Branding over 10 years ago. But I experienced it much earlier, more than 20 years ago. We had on Olympic Swimmer here in Australia, Samantha Riley. She was really loved by all and had the girl next door image. One day, I saw her at the local bakery and I said Hi Sam, waved, smiled. In that moment, I had forgotten that I didn’t actually know her. But she was gracious and smiled and said Hi back.

[@XojiAkaVlogs]

This is brilliantly simple yet so difficult to accomplish. Thank you Chris for what you believe and why you do this. The creative community really appreciates what you do!

[@sooyounglee369]

I am a consultant to creative and creators to help them build a business. This video encapsulates so much of what I try to help them and myself demystify. This awesome video also debunks so many myths around branding where we try to hide our vulnerabilities and try to act like Jack Slick. Going to share this and go back and take notes. Thank you. Thank you

[@thefutur]

Thank you x 2. Appreciate it. No need to be slick.

[@dib115]

YES! Been waiting for your breakdown on this. Keep em' Coming

[@tomdudley4296]

Thank you Chris for giving me so much insane value. I love your book but also all your content, I can't wait to join your Pro Group in the future! You're an absolute Legend!!!

[@ZonymaUnltd.]

Lately, I’ve been working really hard at personal growth and trying to figure out how to apply it to a bigger scale. I think this video will be beneficial in figuring that out. Thank you, Chris!

[@eriel7]

This was so crazy insightful thank you so much!!! I NEEED to see you talk more about the key components!!!!

[@lapalma1928]

Great video! I would love to see this turned into a series. Thanks! Best wishes on all your endeavors!

[@leadgenjay]

Great insights on the power of vulnerability in personal branding. One advanced tactic is leveraging 'micro-moments' - brief, authentic glimpses into your daily life or behind-the-scenes that can significantly deepen audience engagement and trust. Remember, consistency in these moments builds a narrative that resonates more profoundly over time.

[@nicolasmarquez5956]

Incredible how Chris can continue to evolve the concept of personal branding; every new video he makes adds more substance to the topic and makes it even clearer how to execute a personal brand.

[@thefutur]

We keep going deeper. Follow along.

[@CCreative365]

I am so thankful for this personal brand series (as well as the plethora of content you have on KZbin). I'm an introverted extrovert, so this definitely helps! Can't wait for the other Pillar videos (hint, hint).

[@TobySillence]

I’ve just done 7hrs straight of listening to Chris Do! Thank you for being alive at the same time as me!

[@meetyousomewhere]

[@trivandowiley4030]

Yess! Dive deeper until those key components. Building a personal and corporate brand.

[@themindishow]

I just discovered you and your videos are some of the best I've seen in a long time. You are so well spoken, so authentic, so vulnerable, raw and real. It is so refreshing to experience content like this. Thank you so much for the gift you are to this world.

[@thefutur]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@SuzChadwick]

Great video Chris. I think one thing that came up for me is that a personal brand only has power with their audience. I never see Kanye in my feed, I don't listen to his music, he has no influence on me, in fact I can't really stand him, so there is zero emotional connection. So a personal brand has power and influence if we care about the person in some way. The Rock on the other hand meets the criteria you used, but feels like he has more influence. Just my thoughts on this

[@abbadonproductioninc]

Dude I've only watched a couple videos but in each of them you weren't dropping gems but vibranium meteorites. Absolutely golden

[@thefutur]

Haha. Double points for comic reference

[@norovibes]

Suchhh a good episode! Some deep therapy right here

[@mynameisrob_co_uk]

Thanks for a great detailed and informative video, I would definitely love it if you create further videos to expand on the 4 points that your described are required to make a successful personal brand. I am not looking to be mega rich or mega famous but I am looking to make a difference and to share what I believe are valuable lessons I have learnt in my life journey to this point

[@jordanjones1947]

I love your communication style. Clear, direct with the added benefit of examples. Thank you!

[@JanineJulia-so3lx]

This was great! I often click on videos and never get to the end, boring or not informative. your information is compelling and very informative. Thanks.

[@thefutur]

Appreciate it

[@ArtSzabo]

Absolutely one of kind information. I've had the pleasure of attending one of your workshops and this is just as valuable. The person I've admired for a long time and who definitely passes the test is musician, singer, wine creator, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, amateur chef/restauranteur Maynard James Keenan (vocalist for the bands Tool, A perfect circle and Puscifier) Not only does all three band have awards and recognitions but so does his wineries and he just received his black belt. This month he opened a fried chicken restaurant at one of his breweries in Arizona. One thing i have learned from him is having a love for different disciplines does not make you lost. As a designer with multi disciplined mindset myself, i believe there is a place in this world for designers like myself. Now onto figuring out this personal brand...

[@thechrisgoor]

Hey Chris, I agree 100% with this. Just building my list of enemies starting with those people on insta who keep pushing false narratives of hacks including trending audio. Keep ‘em coming.

Super powerful stuff here. I think where most people struggle is that wall they put up. And that is fine if they don't want to share everything. You can still be successful. But It just won't always be a personal brand.

Ironically, I am a teacher trying to get out of education by getting my business earning enough for me to live on but also to thrive + be prosperous. I love this content because it's helping me to realize + understand the intangibles in my teaching skillset and how I can better serve the people I want to buy my products which is B2B videography. Thanks Chris + all those working behind the scenes to make this content happen. I truly hope one day I can pay it forward in a meaningful+ valuable contribution to your organization.

Never did anyone list down a series of questions to test like this. Many thanks. I just launched my own tiktok marketing agency and personal branding / company branding is exactly what my clients need. And this video simplifies the process of me having to explain to them, on what they need to do, how they should do it.

[@andrewlunn]

Some great points as always.

[@jonathanmast_withai]

I love the way you broke this down. I never really thought through it quite the way you laid it out … especially fame versus influence and I love how we need to make sure that we can have a common enemy and that we can’t be afraid of having some people that don’t like our message. As always, thanks for the amazing content.😊😊

[@abriefhistoryofkyle]

Great piece of content. It was really valuable to see a framework and have a process laid out, and I love the way you framed the origin story and that "inflection point" where everything changed and the hero became themselves. I'm a bit lost on the enemies piece though. I think about all of the personal brands I dig. I cant see any clear enemies in any of them.

[@thefutur]

Name one you love. Let’s see if i can help.

[@abriefhistoryofkyle]

​ @thefutur Hey man, wow, thank you for reaching back out to me. That means a lot. So, take Terry Crews for example. I love his brand and overall vibe. To me, hes an example of a transparent, positive, just beam of good energy and encouragement. And I feel he has a strong personal brand. But I don't see a clear enemy, per se. What are your thoughts?

[@BiancaBetts-vm2oq]

What an amazing video, it’s so true deep connection comes from sharing about the struggles

[@IAmTatianaSmith]

This was a great video. I've been teaching in China for the last 5 years, and I have a personal brand here. It just kinda happened based off the issues I publicly support and events I hosted, so in my opinion it doesn't reflect me fully. I tried rebranding and that feel flat. lol Fast forward to now, i'm leaving China in a few months and i'm trying to be conscious of my brand and what I want it to stand for. So this video was super helpful. I now know that I need to focus on the story I want to tell about myself and be clear and vocal about my values. Even if that upsets people. The main question that comes to mind is what are the best ways to deal with the fall out of making enemies? Like in the case of Ye. Even though he has millions, it's clear that his mental stability is questionable. And I have to wonder about all the people that take so much heat like that. How do you deal with the haters and the people that oppose you publicly?

[@thefutur]

People are united by an enemy in common. It’s a sign you have a point of view.

Hi. I've caught a few of your videos so far. I own my own business and there were several refreshing points. What you don't seem to touch on is your delivery method. Your body language with your examples are just as powerful as your wording and syntax. As well as your demeanor and clothing choice for the audience. I didn't come here just to flatter you all evening, though lol - I own an advertising company and I work closely with youtube content creators. We digitally advertise your channel/videos in our Uber/Lyft vehicles that drive all over NY (including island and boroughs). Passengers are unable to skip advertisements, so my clients see a nice bump in advertisement revenue, as well as large exposure and views from hundreds of passengers per day. Let me know if you'd like to know more. In the meantime, I'll continue checking out your videos
