đź’° A Personal Brand is NOT a Company Brand
How to grow your business through your personal brand
I see it every day.
People who try to build their personal brand and audience in the same approach as they build a company brand.
Their content is all about:
products
features
“look at us, we went to this conference”
content that says: “this is how great we are, come and buy from us”!
🥱
That’s like the WORST way to build an audience.
NO ONE wants to be sold to.
NO ONE.
And it won’t work.
They even put the picture on the founder/CEO and then keep doing the same company-copy.
That won’t work either.
Because
↓
Your personal brand should be a mix of your unique:
experience
voice
career
knowledge
skills
thoughts
interests
observations
failures
wins
learnings
opinions
obsessions
the way you write
the way you sound
When you:
- sell your ideas
- build in public
- sell yourself
- sell your vision
- ask for input
- share your knowledge
- help people to learn from your mistakes
→ You start WINNING.
And you start getting inbound.
It’s hard.
But its not rocket science.
The sponsor of today’s edition is: The Rundown AI
Start learning AI in 2025
Everyone talks about AI, but no one has the time to learn it. So, we found the easiest way to learn AI in as little time as possible: The Rundown AI.
It's a free AI newsletter that keeps you up-to-date on the latest AI news, and teaches you how to apply it in just 5 minutes a day.
Plus, complete the quiz after signing up and they’ll recommend the best AI tools, guides, and courses – tailored to your needs.
We buy from people we like and relate to
When we truly understand the people we want to grab attention from, it's SO much easier to create content that resonates and adds value.
Things like:
Who they are
What they care about
What they want in life
What keeps them up at night
Their pains
Their desired outcomes
Their challenges
The lifestyle they want
We are all just PEOPLE.
→ Ask yourself: why do you think people like Gary V and Steven Bartlett has so much followers?
It’s simple:
1 - They’ve been in the game for a long time
2 - They understand people and top of funnel content
3 - They have a funnel for LinkedIn
We need to make the content about THEM.
And we do that when we share:
wins
failures
lessons
hot takes
mistakes
observations
achievements
show your values
make people relate
personal experiences
things that shaped you
relax and have some fun
things you wish you knew
fundamental things you believe in
a personal story based on experience
We buy from people we like and relate to.
And once you have nailed the above, you build a funnel for LinkedIn. I’ll cover that topic in the next edition.
Hope you found this helpful.
Until next time,
Hanna
