It Works, Here's 6 Tips for Building Your Personal Brand - If you have a big online presence (and even if you don’t) you’ll want to take some time to think about your personal brand. Why? Emmelie De La Cruz, founder of The Branding Muse, shared her personal branding tips with Refinery29, and she explains it like this: “Competition is fierce, and the information is readily available. Before people work with you, they will most likely google you, and without a brand, what relevant information will they find? Branding makes you more marketable and mobile as a job-seeker. In building your brand deliberately and strategically, you have an immediate competitive advantage over your peers.” Read on for more of De La Cruz’s personal branding tips below.
  1. IT'S NOT LIMITED TO ONE INDUSTRY
    A personal brand isn’t just for someone who works in a media-related industry. Carpenters, lawyers, wedding planners—everyone should consider their brand. “Any professional can benefit from a personal brand and use it to expand their reach, exposure, and even develop multiple streams of income as a speaker or consultant,” De La Cruz explains.
  2. BE AUTHENTIC
    Avoid over-curating your online presence. Your branded personality should reflect who you are. “Don’t shy away from who you are as a person,” says De La Cruz. “Infuse that into your personal brand.”
  3. DO RESEARCH VIA YOUR OWN SOCIAL CHANNELS
    If you have social media accounts, you already have the foundation for a brand. Go back and look through your posts and figure out which ones have been most successful. Use this information to find your niche and audience.
  4. LIKES MATTER
    Having a lot of followers and a well-engaged audience translates into a large number of likes, which in turn translates into dollars.
  5. HAVE BOUNDARIES
    Your online brand is a professional tool, so it shouldn’t be all about your personal life. “It’s possible to be professional, share a few personal things, and maintain your privacy all at once,” De La Cruz says. “You can make your lifestyle public, and keep your life private by being mindful of what you share.”
  6. BE PREPARED TO INVEST IN YOUR BRAND
    Hire a branding expert like De La Cruz, whose services start at $150 per hour, or a web developer, photographer, creative director, or copywriter to help your online brand be the best it can be.
