Introspecting about some fundamental questions- like why you want to build a personal brand, who is your intended audience, how you can add value to their life, what qualities do you want to project, how do you want to be perceived as- can give you immense clarity and define the fundamental building blocks of your personal brand. These will help you carefully craft the personality and tonality that you want to project.

This includes deciding aspects like your topics, content format (images, video, audio, text\u2026) and preferred channels of distribution. An important rider here is to ensure that you make your decisions based on your interests and skills rather than a perceived hype of what\u2019s trending. In this context, one should remember that social media isn\u2019t the only route to curate a personal brand. While there are many examples of personal brands exclusively built on popular social media platforms (Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube etc.), there are also examples of powerful personal brands that have been built by authoring books, blogs, newsletter, hosting podcasts, writing op-ed pieces in newspaper and magazines etc. Having said that, social media has become an essential tool in your personal brand kit to amplify the message and build a dedicated community around your personal brand.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9cc0850 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"9cc0850\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b21e025 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b21e025\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"189\" height=\"189\" src=\"https:\/\/winnerbrands.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/3.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-9901\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/winnerbrands.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/3.png 189w, https:\/\/winnerbrands.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/3-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 189px) 100vw, 189px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c9aea0f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c9aea0f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Consistency<\/strong>: While consistency is a time-honoured principle in the world of brand building, its significance in building a personal brand cannot be overemphasised.

More importantly, the digital algorithms are designed to reward consistency- hence a consistent content output is likely to garner more reach and eyeballs. Consistency should reflect in all aspects of your brand ranging from how you project yourself across different touchpoints to your content themes and cadence. This becomes very critical to ensure that you garner a good recall and start standing for something in the minds of your audience.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-260bbf3 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"260bbf3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3000e67 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3000e67\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"152\" src=\"https:\/\/winnerbrands.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/4.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-9902\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e4dc554 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e4dc554\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Conviction<\/strong>: You have embarked on the journey of creating a personal brand because you feel you are genuinely passionate about something.

Remember, when you build a personal brand, people are looking up to you for knowledge and inspiration. A personal brand that doesn\u2019t have conviction in its views and recommendations will not inspire confidence and would face a credibility barrier.

Personal brands that embrace their vulnerabilities and are not shy of showing their not-so-perfect human side come across as both endearing and credible. Acknowledging mistakes, demonstrating an openness to learn and having tolerance for counter-opinions sends out a signal that you are keen to grow and evolve.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a9559f2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a9559f2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"2000\" src=\"https:\/\/winnerbrands.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/6-2.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-9898\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/winnerbrands.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/6-2.png 800w, https:\/\/winnerbrands.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/6-2-120x300.png 120w, https:\/\/winnerbrands.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/6-2-432x1080.png 432w, https:\/\/winnerbrands.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/6-2-768x1920.png 768w, https:\/\/winnerbrands.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/6-2-614x1536.png 614w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bf975fb elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"bf975fb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5ceb246 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5ceb246\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The perks of a Personal Brand:\n<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e45f3e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3e45f3e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>When done right, building a personal brand can be a very rewarding pursuit.

We also see a trend where start-ups are wooing strong personal brands to the cap-table. The community and credibility of personal brands can quickly ramp up reach and recall of the new brand. And in case you plan to start a business, a strong personal brand can give you a definite head start. It can create awareness for your product and help you get a window with potential investors faster.

And the pitfalls of a personal brand are all the more trickier because their impact is personal and could even become a potential drag on your productivity and well-being.<\/p><p>Unless you are a celebrity, the task of building a personal brand sits squarely on your shoulders. And that is how it should be. After all, who can do a better job of building your brand other than you! While of course there are tools and even services available that can help, the buck stops with you.<\/p><p>This effort demands a significant part of your physical and mental bandwidth, and the ups and downs of this journey can put considerable pressure on your personal life too.<\/p><p>The initial part of this journey can be disappointing- the results can be slow; feedback could be brutal, and the risk of trolling \/ name-calling is very real at every stage. An apparently oxymoronic but genuine advice in this case would be to not take it personally.<\/p><p>Also, today\u2019s information hungry consumer is rarely satisfied with what they see on the surface and have a natural tendency to cross verify your every claim in detail. Any skeletons in the closet will eventually be discovered. Hence, authenticity and integrity are two uncompromising demands from a personal brand. And if either of those seem shaky, the edifice of a personal brand comes crumbling down.<\/p><p>Interestingly, this risk is directly correlated with the growth of personal brand. Bigger the personal brand, greater will be the number of cynics it will attract, and these cynics will deliberately look for chinks in the brand&#8217;s armour. Even a hint of \u2018commercial approach\u2019 as opposed to \u2018community-first\u2019 approach or a difference in espoused ideals vs. actions can be quite detrimental to the fortunes of even big personal brands.<\/p><p>In the end, even as we name consistency as an important pillar of building personal brands, we must also mention that it shouldn\u2019t result in monotony. One of the biggest mistakes in personal branding is to take your community and its goodwill for granted. Like in other categories, when it comes to personal brands too, consumers have an array of choices. Hence it is imperative that personalities keep refreshing their brands at regular intervals. Introspecting on whether your starting premise is still valid, keeping tabs on emerging trends in your field and proactively tapping them, expanding the repertoire of your expertise to adjacent categories that your patrons would find relevant, are all ways in which personal brands can continue to command a strong equity and deeper engagement.<\/p><p>A common mistake in the journey to build a personal brand is that of confusing official designation or position with a personal brand. While designation would of course give tailwinds to your personal branding efforts, it might also lead to false starts. A lot of your network and endorsement might accrue from your position as opposed to the opinions and value you add. The truth is, building a personal brand would always require firing on all the 5-Cs of brand building. It is important to ensure that designation is used as an asset rather than a crutch in building your personal brand.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-edb3d15 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"edb3d15\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e5540f4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e5540f4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">In Conclusion\n<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cab49a2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cab49a2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>As digital savvy consumers adept in expressing and sharing, we are all consciously or unconsciously building a personal brand.
