Examples
- Tech Leader: "Build a personal brand as a VP of Engineering. Want to be known for engineering culture and scaling teams. Platforms: LinkedIn and personal blog."
- Consultant: "Create a personal brand strategy to attract consulting clients. Expertise: supply chain optimization. Target: VP-level executives at manufacturing companies."
- Creative Professional: "Build a brand as a UX designer specializing in accessibility. Goal: attract job offers and speaking invitations."
- Industry Expert: "Personal brand plan for an AI researcher wanting public visibility. Publish papers but have no social presence. Goal: industry recognition and advisory roles."
Guidelines
- Choose 3 topics maximum — being known for everything means being known for nothing
- Authenticity is non-negotiable — your brand must reflect who you actually are
- Consistency beats intensity — posting weekly for a year beats daily for a month
- Engage with others' content as much as you create your own — community builds brand
- Share opinions and perspectives, not just information — people follow thinkers, not aggregators
- Document your work and learning journey — behind-the-scenes content humanizes your brand
- Measure brand growth by opportunities received (inbound messages, invitations) not just follower count
