🚀 What do you think about personal branding? Do you build it?

Question

I've been building my personal brand on LinkedIn for 3 years. This year, I started using Twitter.

And you?

I personally think that it is an investment that compounds with time. It's like a public portfolio of your thoughts and opinions and is a great way to build a community if one is to go down the entrepreneurial path or even if they are to apply for better jobs, personal branding solidifies relevance for the recruiter. I've been active this year, but would want to make it more consistent and scalable across platforms. Big fan of how Dan Koe does it.

Don't know how to build it. I love a guy Peter Tarka, he follows me. He is a 3D artist and has a personal brand. He is mostly known for his 3d art style . I almost have a crush on his work 😅 . He never showed his face in any of his platform. Everyone knows him from his logo and his work .

@andriyuh Agree! I try don't promote myself. Mostly, I create practical and educational (or funny) content.

Answer

Building a personal brand is the best thing any professional can do. I'm using LinkedIn, X (former Twitter), Threads, Medium, and others, to do so. Continue the great work you do Olena, you're on your way to endless rewards.

Hey @olenabomko
Personal branding also known as reputation for centuries, is super important to every single person. Some people will look down on you when you mention personal branding, but when you speak of reputation, everyone agrees.

I am a great believer in building personal branding. The only way to do this online is by putting out as much content as possible. When comes to IRL (in real life), it is all about getting out there and meeting people. Some people get disheartened when others don't vibe with them. I say in that case you are at the wrong crowd. You are not with your type of people. I don't think you can be liked by everyone... this is the case with most brands... and that is OK.

Cheers
Kosala

I just don't feel comfortable tweeting for example. But I have been thinking of YouTube as a way to do this. Live a video type resume where I just talk about my experience as an engineer and challenges I have faced in entrepreneurship. What's your approach?

Olena Bomko · Answer

@suchback It difficult to build an audience there (fast). But love Twitter people :)
