Benefits of a Personal Brand

In today's SIP, we are going to talk about the benefits of creating a personal brand.

There are endless ways to build a profitable business using social media and a personal brand JUST MIGHT be the way for you!

Here are 3 benefits of a personal brand that may get you thinking about your next steps as a business owner.

Self-Discovery and Clarity

Building a personal brand isn't just about how others perceive you; it's also a journey of self-discovery and self-awareness.

Basically, you're going to learn a lot about yourself and take others on your journey!

As you embark on this path, you'll find yourself delving deep into your passions, values, strengths, and weaknesses. This process can lead to greater clarity about who you are, what you stand for, and what truly matters to you.

AKA... making it even EASIER to build out a profitable brand.

This will also help you to build your audience. Click here to read about how to build an audience.

A personal brand may help you uncover hidden talents or develop new skills that you never knew you had.

Your personal brand becomes a reflection of your authentic self, aligning your actions and choices with your core values.

In essence, it's a tool for personal growth and self-improvement and that is SUPER attractive to others, as it's RELATABLE!

Impactful Storytelling and Advocacy

A personal brand is a platform for storytelling and an opportunity for advocacy.

Beyond showcasing your expertise and accomplishments, it allows you to share your personal narrative, experiences, and beliefs.

Connection is CRITICAL if we are talking about the benefits of a personal brand for business purposes... and story telling is part of the journey.

This storytelling aspect of personal branding can serve a unique purpose: advocating for causes or issues that matter deeply to you.

This gives you an incredible way to connect with you, while getting INVOLVED in what matters most.

By integrating your personal brand with a cause or passion project, you can leverage your influence and reach to raise awareness, drive change, or support charitable initiatives.

Can you think of what's possible and who may come into your world when you take this approach?

What do you want to become known for is what you should be thinking and WHY.

You can develop powerful stories within your personal brand that attract people with similar values DAILY.

This personal brand amplifies your voice and strengthens your advocacy efforts.

Of course, you can use this for business purposes and maybe even develop a non-profit!

New Opportunities to Profit

A personal brand makes it easier to profit and create multiple streams of income.

You are creating trust and rapport with an audience that have become RAVING FANS.

While you have an "umbrella theme" to your personal brand, you can go in many directions.

Do you like fashion? Here's the perfect example.

YOU CAN...

• Create your own label
• Become an affiliate 
• Create UGC (user generated content) for profit
• Have fashion brands sponsor your content

...just to name a few!

Pretty neat, right?

But, what if you also love to teach styling or closet organization?

Start creating "Stories," where you feature your home, closet, awesome finds or YouTube videos of you organizing.

You can now profit from acquiring clients, where you offer closet organization.

Think about what you love and start with ONE THING.

Build from there and imagine the possibilities and it's all possible because people love YOU!

WRAPPING UP THE SIP

A personal brand isn't for everyone... having a brand, where you're just the CEO or Founder is HIGHLY effective.

However, with social media so readily available, it makes you wonder what's possible!
