🔍 1. Get Clear on Your Identity
Ask yourself:
-
Who are you? What are your values, passions, and story?
-
What do you stand for? Building a personal brand that sells means creating a reputation, presence, and message that not only reflects who you are but also inspires trust, credibility. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get there:
🔍 1. Get Clear on Your Identity
Ask yourself:
-
Who are you? What are your values, passions, and story?
-
Who do you serve? Define your niche and ideal audience.
Tip: Use 3-5 words that describe your brand personality (e.g., bold, empathetic, strategic, creative, witty).
🎯 2. Define Your Value Proposition
-
What problem do you solve?
-
What makes you different from others in your field?
-
Why should someone choose you over someone else?
Example:
Instead of “I’m a marketing consultant,” say:“I help purpose-driven entrepreneurs grow their audience and turn content into clients—without paid ads.”
🧱 3. Build a Strong Online Presence
Pick platforms that align with your audience (LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Twitter/X, etc.).

Optimize your bio/headline with your value proposition
-
Use a consistent profile picture and visual style
Content ideas:
-
Behind-the-scenes of your process

Client wins/testimonials
-
Your story (mistakes, wins, lessons)
💬 4. Craft Your Message & Voice
-
Be authentic, but also intentional.
-
Speak your audience’s language.
-
Position yourself as a guide—not the hero. Your audience is the hero; you’re the one helping them win.

Make sure your audience knows what you offer and how to work with you.

Build a simple funnel: content → lead magnet → nurture → offer.
-
Offer multiple entry points: freebies, lower-ticket offers, premium services.
